Steve Harmison grabbed three wickets as England took the opening day's honours in the third and final cricket Test against Sri Lanka here on Tuesday.
England, seeking a series-levelling win, put Sri Lanka in to bat on a moisture-laden wicket and reduced them to 147-4 in a shortened day's cricket at the Galle International Stadium.
Just 55 of the stipulated 90 overs were sent down in the first big game at the refurbished stadium, which was destroyed by the Asian tsunami in December 2004. The match, watched by some 7,000 local and England supporters, started two hours late at 12 noon due to a wet outfield caused by overnight rain.
