Subscriber only Australia s cricket hierarchy has fired a thinly veiled missile back at English Test legends who it believes are trying to undermine Tim Paine s captaincy before next summer s Ashes. While they have not been named, it s believed that outspoken England greats Michael Vaughan, Kevin Pietersen and Darren Gough were the target of Wednesday s fierce defence of Paine s leadership, as Australia announced its South African touring party. Australian officials are seething over the vicious attacks on Paine s character from ex-players on the other side of the world, interpreting it as a below-the-belt Ashes conspiracy.

Sri Lanka were able to post a robust first-innings score of 381 that would have been a lot more without Anderon s six for 40 across 29 overs, Wood s three for 80 and one for Sam Curran. As 64 overs from spinners Dom Bess and Jack Leach were milked for 195 risk-free runs, the seamers combined for all 10 batsmen in an innings for the first time in Sri Lanka since 2001 when Darren Gough (four), Andy Caddick (fou
