Rain on the final day meant that the third and final Test between England and Sri Lanka ended in a draw. But who were the standout performers? We picked out a player of the day at the end of each of the first four days of the Test but there was so little play on the final day that no one was really able to stake a claim.Jonny Bairstow makes the cut after hitting his second century of the series while openers Kaushal Silva and Alex Hales did enough for their respective sides to be included with all-rounder Chris Woakes completing the line-up. Click on the video at the top of the page to watch the quartets top performances, with a rundown below of why they were selected.DAY ONE - Having won the toss and elected to bat, England slumped to 84-4 shortly after lunch. That brought Bairstow to the crease, alongside Alastair Cook, got the hosts back on track. The pair put on 80 for the fifth wicket and even after Cooks departure, Bairstow pushed on and reached his third Test century shortly before stumps.DAY TWO - After England were bowled out for 416 midway through day two - Bairstow ending 167 not out - Sri Lanka set about fighting back. Both openers reached their half-centuries but it was Silva who kicked on. The diminutive batsmen looked in fine touch, striking 10 boundaries to reach 79 not out at the close.DAY THREE - Sri Lanka resumed on 162-1 but were unable to add to their total before Woakes struck with the first ball of the days second over. The England attack were fired up and the Warwickshire seamer was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 3-31 as Sri Lanka were skittled for 288.DAY FOUR - Having begun the day on 41 not out, Hales soon moved past fifty although he required a touch of fortune to go any further as he was bowled off a decidedly dubious no-ball. He looked set to take full advantage of that let off but agonizingly fell just six runs short of a maiden Test century after a superb innings.Watch England and Sri Lankas five-match ODI series live on Sky Sports, starting with the opening match, at Trent Bridge, from 1.30pm, on Tuesday, June 21.

Georginio Wijnaldum Liverpool Jersey . -- Jonathan Vilmas season is over and his future on the football field is in doubt. NEW ORLEANS -- Tyreke Evans hit the final shot. Jrue Holiday made every big play before that to put the New Orleans Pelicans in position to win. Evans sank a mid-range, pull-up jumper with 1.2 seconds left, and Holiday scored 15 of his season-high 31 points in the fourth quarter as the Pelicans beat the Portland Trail Blazers 110-108 on Monday night. Holiday, acquired in a draft-night trade with Philadelphia last June, connected on seven shots in the fourth when the score was tied or New Orleans led by two or fewer points. He also tied his season high for assists with 13. "I was just being aggressive," he said. "They were backing off on the screen-and-roll where I had the guard behind him, and I had a lot of confidence in my shot. I just felt good and it came at a good time." Evans big basket came right after Portlands Damian Lillard, who has hit several game-winners this season, made a contested 3-pointer to tie the score at 108. New Orleans, which won its fourth in a row at home, never trailed in the second half but never led by more than five in the final 10 minutes. Anthony Davis added 27 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. Evans had 20 points, getting his first eight baskets in the lane before making his first jump shot at the end. The opportunity came after Holiday pushed the ball up the court instead of calling a timeout when Lillards 3-pointer rolled in with 10.9 seconds left. "It really kind of gets them off guard," Holiday said. "Sometimes when they celebrate like that, well go right back down in 2 or 3 seconds. Thats definitely big for us." Davis then forced LaMarcus Aldridge into a tough shot from the baseline that bounced off the top of the backboard and came after the buzzer anyway. "I thought they were going to try to give him the ball and hit a jump shot," Davis said. "I just tried to play good defence on him and put my hands up and make him shoot real high." Lillard scored 29 points and Aldridge had 28 for Portland (24-7), which lost its second straight. "Its a lot of stuff," Lillard said. "This was just a game that we couldnt pull out our best abilities. We just need to learn from this game and use it in a way to win our next one." Holiday answered every Portland challenge down the stretch. When thhe Blazers scored the first seven points of the fourth to tie the score at 89, he sank a 3-pointer.ddddddddddddHoliday then hit an outside shot and a buzzer-beating driving bank to keep the Pelicans ahead 98-95. After Nicolas Batum missed a free throw that would have given Portland its first lead since 33-32 in the second quarter, Holiday sank a floater to make the score 100-98. After Aldridge missed an outside shot with the score tied at 100, Holiday sank one from just beyond the free throw line. "He was excellent in the fourth quarter," Evans said. "He was in control. Thats what hes here for." The Blazers, who have struggled defensively lately, allowed the Pelicans to hit 53.9 per cent of their shots. Portland entered having allowed an average of 111.8 points in its last four games. "There are a lot of causes," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "Its penetration, its not helping out one another, its transition." The Pelicans limited the Blazers to 44.3 per cent shooting, and Davis was a major factor. He blocked two fallaway attempts from Aldridge before stifling him on the final shot. The Pelicans dominated the first half statistically -- shooting 52.2 per cent to the Blazers 38.3 per cent and outrebounding them 28-19 -- so New Orleans 56-49 lead at the break felt as though it should have been larger. New Orleans outrebounded the Blazers 18-8 in the first quarter, had a 10-0 advantage in second-chance points and held Lillard to one basket. The Pelicans also committed only one turnover, yet were up only 26-21. That advantage disappeared quickly when Dorell Wright and Lillard sank consecutive 3-pointers to put Portland ahead 33-32 early in the second, but Evans scored six in a row to start a 12-0 New Orleans run.
