Alex Hales Test-best 94 boosted Englands hopes of whitewashing Sri Lanka on a weather-affected day four of the third Investec Test at Lords. Evan Longoria Jersey . Hales fell narrowly short of a maiden ton for the third time in the series having been dismissed for 86 his sides innings and 88-run win at Headingley and 83 in their nine-wicket victory at Emirates Riverside in Durham.But the openers fourth Test half-century and Alastair Cooks 49 not out from an unfamiliar No 7 spot led to England declaring on 233-7 with a lead of 361 after rain had washed out the entire morning session.Dimuth Karunaratne (19no) and Kaushal Silva (12no) negotiated a potentially tricky 12 overs, though, as Sri Lanka closed on 32-0 and with further showers forecast for Monday, England could struggle to complete their fourth whitewash since 1978, having thumped India 4-0 in 2011 and crushed New Zealand 3-0 and West Indies 4-0 in 2004. Alex Hales was unable to complete his maiden Test ton The Lords drizzle, however, gave Cook extra time to rest the knee he bruised while fielding at silly mid-off on day three and the England skipper displayed no signs of discomfort when he joined Hales at the crease following the early-afternoon lbw exit of night-watchman Steve Finn (7).Cooks only trouble came against spinner Rangana Herath, the left-hander successfully reviewing one lbw decision with the ball striking him outside the line but then fortunate that opposing captain Angelo Mathews opted not to go upstairs with Heraths delivery set to turn back onto his stumps.Hales also enjoyed a slice of luck when Nuwan Pradeep (3-37) was adjudged to have bowled him with a no ball, despite replays showing the Sri Lanka paceman - who castled Joe Root, James Vince and Jonny Bairstow on day three - had kept a part of his foot behind the line. Nuwan Pradeep was harshly adjudged to have bowled a no ball The Nottinghamshire star built on his overnight 41 with a host of sweet strokes, including smoking Herath for six over long-on, as he bossed an 82-run stand with regular opening partner Cook.But, with tea approaching, Hales was given out lbw to Mathews after being clattered above the knee roll, ball-tracking technology showing Hales leg stump would have been shaved. Alastair Cook unleased a scoop shot at Lords Cook and Moeen Ali (9) darted in and out of the dressing room after tea as rain fell in a start-stop manner and the cricket was just as frenetic in the moments before England declared - Moeen pouched in the deep off Shaminda Eranga (3-58), and Cook spanking a maximum over midwicket and attempting a Jos Buttler-esque scoop. Karunaratne and Silva, though, calmed things down during the final overs to keep Sri Lanka in with a chance, however faint, of launching a successful run chase an on intriguing-looking Monday in the capital.Our build-up to day five starts at 10.30am on Monday on Sky Sports 2, while you can also follow the days play on skysports.com and Sky Sports apps via our rolling over-by-over blog.Highlights of day three come your way from 8pm tonight on Sky Sports 2 and then stick around at 9pm for The Verdict with Charles Colvile, Bob Willis, Jonathan Trott and Russel Arnold.

Pablo Sandoval Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored twice and added two assists as the Erie Otters beat the Sarnia Sting 7-3 on Saturday night in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.sfgiantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Alen-Hanson-Kids-Jersey/ . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Zack Greinke had never lost at Great American Ball Park. Todd Frazier wasnt going to give him time to settle in on the mound again. Frazier swung at the first pitch he got from Greinke and hit a two-run homer on Thursday afternoon, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers and a split of their four-game series. The Reds won the last two games to finish a 5-5 homestand that left them stuck closer to the bottom of the NL Central than the top. Alfredo Simon (9-3) gave up seven singles in eight innings, joining the Cardinals Adam Wainwright as the NLs nine-game winners. Greinke (8-3) had been 4-0 in five games at Great American. A slow start cost him his perfect mark. Skip Schumaker opened the Reds first with a single, and Frazier followed with his team-high 14th homer on Greinkes fifth pitch of the game. Joey Votto doubled on the next pitch as well. "I was just trying to electrify us and get us going," said Frazier, who has five homers in his last 11 games. "First pitch, I was ready to attack. It was good to get the lead for Alfredo." Greinke gave the third baseman credit for hitting a pitch that ended up where it was intended. "It wasnt necessarily any worse pitches than the rest of the game, just that Fraziers hot," Greinke said. "A first-pitch slider at the bottom of the zone, you take your chances. But hes a strong guy and got a homer out of it." Cincinnati would get only one more hit off Greinke, who went six innings before leaving for a pinch-hitter. The Reds added a pair of runs in the eighth, when Zack Cozart doubled and scored on Brandon Leagues wild pitch. Ryan Ludwick had an RBI single. Simon matched his career high with eight innings and held the lead by pitching out of a threat in the seventh with a 2-1 lead. Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier opened with singles. Tim Federowicz flied out too shallow to score the run, and Kemp was caught in a rundown after he tried to score on Miguel Rojas grounder. Pinch-hitter Scott Van Slyke struck out to end the threat. "What hes he doing thats most surprising to me is pitching effectively into the seventh and eighth inninngs," manager Bryan Price said. Madison Bumgarner Jersey. "Hes pitching deep into games and continuing to stay aggressive with his stuff. He looks very comfortable in high-leverage situations." The 33-year-old pitcher has been a reliever most of his career, but embraced the chance to start. So far, he hasnt shown any problems making the switch. "I feel like my arm is only 20 years old," Simon said. "I feel like I can throw 200 innings." Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. Simons nine wins match his total for his last two seasons with Cincinnati, when he was a reliever. Simon moved into the rotation when Mat Latos tore knee cartilage and had surgery at the start of spring training. Latos is expected to bump left-hander Tony Cingrani from the rotation when he returns from the disabled list this weekend. The Reds offence was finally back together during the homestand, with Votto returning from a strained muscle above his left knee that landed him on the disabled list for 23 games. Votto had a double and a single on Thursday, leaving him 4-for-10 in his three games back. The Dodgers completed a 4-3 trip to Colorado and Cincinnati, two hitter-friendly ballparks. Their pitching was solid, but the offence faded at the end, scoring one run in the last two games. They were limited to eight singles on Thursday, including Kemps RBI hit in the first inning.
