Anderson missed the game because of a side strain, but he will return for inaugural Rose Bowl Test this week even if was denied the opportunity to prove his fitness yesterday then friends life T20 match at New Road Worcestershire Lancashire won.
In his absence, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn and Chris Tremlett worked to dismiss sri Lanka, but Anderson said that he would not make a difference.
"I think that it was a single game." "It is a flat and if I would have made any difference or not is difficult to say", he said. "He did not look like it tilted much, it is one of those games where things did not quite go to plan.".
"But a below average performance we is not a bad bowling unit." We had two years of success. It has done a lot of the bowling attack, last week and it was a little harsh. On flat land, it can happen in Test cricket, you can have games where you struggle to get 20 wickets. »
Anderson broke down on the second day of the first test at Cardiff and did not reverse in a match situation since that he did Bowl 10 overs in two periods in the Old Trafford nets last Friday.
"I'm very frustrated, especially after having driven two hours to Worcester in the rain," Anderson said. "I must be able to be chosen for a game like today." I feel good and I think that, although he would only be four overs was the thing of match intensity that we seek. We hope that this week, I will prove my physical condition.
"I felt fine." The injury has not really slowed me that much and I flipped 10 overs in the nets Friday at full pace. I came through fine, who do feel any rigidity next day which is the great concern generally when you return to a wound or a niggle. I look forward to get some overs under my belt match. »
During this time, Sri Lanka Captain Tillakaratne Dilshan can play through the pain barrier to take part in the third Test against England Thursday.
Dilshan was a doubt for the Rose Bowl since the day when he fractured his right thumb during the second Test at Lord's. The thumb remains splint, but coach Stuart Law denied that Dilshan would miss the game to ensure its adequacy to the series of a day.
"He has a crack on his thumb, and it will hurt like hell whenever he strikes the ball," said law. "But knowing his character, when it gets a little boredom is itching to play." I would be surprised if it retroussée Thursday saying: it is good. »
If Dilshan is deemed unfit, aged 21-year-old left-handed opener Lahiru Thirimanne, who made a century in the first round, in Chelmsford will step in to make his Test debut. Kumar Sangakkara will replace as captain, all just two months after he resigned from the post.
One - nil down in the last Test, Sri Lanka hopes to repeat their success in a position similar in 2006, when they won at Trent Bridge to the square of the series. Future of the law could also rely on the result, with the Sri Lankan Board to decide after this series to grant a permanent or contract.
"I think that we have done as well as possible," he said. "" "". A mad in Cardiff 20 overs have stopped going us into the last Test even. We needed for performance of substance after that and not put past teams Sri Lanka when their backs are against the wall. If they come out fighting that they are one of the most dangerous teams in world cricket. "
But on the ground in Chelmsford, rain saved the tourists from potential embarrassment after they lost two quick wickets.
Resumption of the seven tracks behind, they have quickly lost Tharanga Paranavitana and Dinesh Chandimal leave their 10 for three and face the possibility of a defeat in a virtual team of second Essex. But after less than 13 overs play, rain returned, with possibly be abandoned shortly after three hours of play.
