CARDIFF: Jonathan Trott ground his way to a painstaking, chanceless double century as the rain-affected first Test between England and Sri Lanka headed for a draw Sunday. Trott was finally bowled for 203 five overs from the close, his second Test double hundred, in an England total of 491 for five at the end of the fourth day. After rain had delayed the start of play by 210 minutes, England leads Sri Lanka by 91 runs with Ian Bell on 98 not out. Alastair Cook was dismissed for 133 early in the day's play and Bell then shared a stand of 160 with his Warwickshire colleague Trott. Kevin Pietersen (3) succumbed to left-arm spin for the 19th time in tests in just over three years. Trott, 125 not out overnight, labored for much of the day in an innings lasting 513 minutes. His Test career average swelled to 66.77 and only Don Bradman (99.94) has a better average among players who have featured in as many matches as Trott's 19. Pakistan ‘A' wins series Pakistan ‘A' outlasted a much improved Afghanistan team to win the third and final one-day cricket match by four wickets in Faisalabad Sunday, for a 3-0 whitewash of the tourists. Noor Ali (51) guided Afghanistan to an imposing 274-9 in its 50 overs before Sarfraz Ahmed and Saad Nasim hit half-centuries to help the host overcome the visitors after 278-6 in 48.1 overs. Sunday's victory completed a rout that saw Pakistan win the first match in Islamabad by five wickets and the second at Rawalpindi by 150 runs.
