England set Sri Lanka 362 to win on day four of the third Investec Test at Lords - while the tourists and Alex Hales suffered misfortune during the afternoon. After rain prevented any play in the morning session, night-watchman Steve Finn (7) was trapped lbw when the cricket commenced at 2.40pm and Hales (94) missed out on a maiden Test ton after departing in the same fashion shortly before tea.But an extremely tight no-ball call, a shrewd England review, and Angelo Mathews decision not to go upstairs denied the visitors further scalps prior to the interval.Hales - shortly after notching his fourth Test fifty - was bowled off a no-ball by Nuwan Pradeep, though replays showed the Sri Lanka seamer had got part of his foot behind the line. Alex Hales was dismissed for 94 at Lords Then, Alastair Cook (49no) - batting in the unfamiliar position of No 7 after bruising his knee while fielding at silly mid-off on day three - successfully overturned an lbw decision, with Rangana Heraths delivery proved to have hit the England captain just outside the line of off-stump.Cook was clattered on the leg by Herath in his next over, too, but visiting skipper Mathews opted not to get the third umpire involved, despite Hawk-Eye insisting the stumps would have been hit.Those lucky breaks saw England push on towards tea, though they suffered frustration just before it as Hales failed to convert a fifty into three figures for the third time in the series.After two brief rain delays immediately following tea, England upped the tempo again through Cook and Moeen Ali - the latter hauled out for nine before the skipper called an end to the innings, shortly after he had launched a six over midwicket, with the hosts on 233-7. That left Sri Lanka with 12 overs to negotiate before stumps and despite the best efforts of the England bowlers, openers Dimuth Karunaratne (19no) and Kaushal Silva (12no) survived and took the tourists to 32 without loss, still 330 away from the victory target.Watch the pick of the day four action in the video above and then catch coverage of the final day of the third Investec Test, live on Sky Sports 2, from 10.30am on Monday.
