WORLD Cup holders Sri Lanka impressed observers in a warm-up against English county side Northamptonshire. Eric Upashantha upstaged his better-known team-mates by grabbing three for 33 in nine overs as Northamptonshire were dismissed for 199 with two balls of their 50 overs remaining. Part-time seamer Chandika Hathurusinghe took two for 41. Off spinner Muttiah Murlitharan, the team’s top bowler, marked his return following a shoulder injury with one for 21 from 10 overs. Sri Lanka, struggling for form in recent months, play hosts England in the World Cup opener at Lord’s next Friday.
