Sri Lanka, after losing the toss, were 177 for nine with Surrey fast bowler Chris Tremlett, who made his name at this ground playing for Hampshire, taking a Test-best six for 42.
This match, the first Test ever staged at the Rose Bowl, has been blighted by rain with nearly 120 out of the 180 overs scheduled for the first two days lost to bad weather.

England lead the three-match series 1-0 after an innings and 14-run win in the first Test in Cardiff was followed by the drawn second Test at Lord's.
