Double ton cheers Lara

Brian Lara's majestic knock of 209, the fifth double-century of his career, stole the show as the rain-hit First Test between the West Indies and Sri Lanka was drawn in St Lucia.

The Windies declared on 477 for nine, 123 runs ahead, leaving Sri Lanka time to get 126 without loss in their second innings, Marvan Atapattu and Sanath Jayasuriya both with half-centuries.

"I am really happy that I got a double hundred but at the end of the day you want a positive result," Lara said.
