Cook top scores as batsmen enjoy workout November 22, 2007 22:57 IST England finished the day on 315 for six wickets in reply to the Sri Lanka side's 500 for five declared. Cook enjoyed a partnership of 77 with captain Michael Vaughan [Images], who hit 38 before being trapped lbw by leg spinner Malinga Bandara. The only batsman to fail on a docile pitch was Kevin Pietersen [Images] who was caught in the gully for four off seamer Nuwan Kulasekera. Cook, Ian Bell [Images] (49), Paul Collingwood [Images] (52) and Owais Shah (38) all retired while Ravi Bopara made 40 not out. England have one more practice game before the first Test starts on December 1 in Kandy. (Editing by Alison Wildey)
