LONDON -- Arsenal went top of the English Premier League after being held to 0-0 at home by struggling Middlesbrough on Saturday, Arsene Wengers 67th birthday.The Gunners run of six straight league victories came to an end, but it could have been worse if it wasnt for Petr Cechs brilliance in goal.Arsenal could yet be overtaken at the top by Liverpool later Saturday, or Manchester City on Sunday.Wenger was disappointed by his sides lack of creativity, citing the absence of the injured Santi Cazorla as a key factor.We didnt have our usual pace and combination, and not enough sharpness in our movement, Wenger said. We could not win it (but) at least we were attentive enough to not lose it.Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka was pleased, having seen his side keep a clean sheet for the first time since August.We should have won the game, but a point was really good, he said. For Petr Cech to be the best player, it says that we did a really good job.Having survived an ominous opening quarter camped on the edge of its own penalty area, Middlesbrough settled and grew in confidence at Emirates Stadium.Adama Traore took advantage of Laurent Koscielnys lapse in concentration to get in behind the Arsenal defence but was thwarted by a fine Cech save. Alvaro Negredo misfired the rebound.Middlesbrough continued to threaten through Gaston Ramirez, who first struck the woodwork with a near-perfect free kick, then headed an even better opportunity straight at the surprisingly busy Cech.Inspired by Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal emerged with renewed intent after halftime. He fired just wide from a free kick before forcing two fine saves from Victor Valdes.However, the action was far from one way, as Traore came close once more, drawing a full-stretch save from Cech after a pulsating run from inside his own half.Lucas Perez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were introduced on either side of the 70th, but neither had the desired effect as an exasperated Wenger patrolled the touchline with his arms outstretched.The visitors, who lost five of their last six league games after a promising start to the season, naturally retreated in the closing stages. It looked like theyd paid the ultimate price in stoppage time, but Mesut Ozil was rightly flagged offside as he flicked in Oxlade-Chamberlains cross.

Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. Australia 141 for 1 (S Marsh 64*, Smith 61*) trail Sri Lanka 355 (Chandimal 132, De Silva 129, Starc 5-63, Lyon 3-110) by 214 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAs a sign of what was to come, the first hour of this Test was less accurate than a horoscope. When Sri Lanka collapsed to 26 for 5, nobody would have predicted they would go on to the highest total of the series. Nor, for that matter, that Australia would then bat as well as they have at any time on this tour. But that was the case, for after those first five wickets tumbled in roughly an hour, the next 11 hours of the Test have brought only five more.On the second day, Dinesh Chandimal scored the seventh century of his Test career, an innings of immense patience that pushed - sometimes at the pace of a boulder up a hill - Sri Lanka to 355. Australia, in reply, had moved to 141 for 1 at the close of play. Only once in this series had an Australian scored a fifty, but now two did so in a session. Steven Smith was on 61 and Shaun Marsh was on 64, and their unbroken 120-run stand was comfortably Australias best of the series.There still remained plenty of work for Australias batsmen, particularly considering their allrounders begin at No.5, but at least they had started impressively. Marsh, included for the first time in this series at the expense of opener Joe Burns, looked relatively comfortable against Sri Lankas spinners. He used his feet well, worked the ball through leg and punished through off when given width. And, importantly, he often picked the turn out of the hand.There were nervous moments for Marsh, balls that turned past the bat, a big lbw review late in the day that showed the ball pitching outside leg, an edge that flew just past Kaushal Silva at silly point. Smith had luck too, when he defended Rangana Herath, and Silva at silly point hurled himself onto the pitch to drop a hard chance. Smith was on 30, and went on to complete an 88-ball fifty, along the way becoming the youngest Australian to reach 4000 runs in Tests.Smith used his feet and was strong through cover, even lifting a six over extra cover off Herath. Sri Lanka relied heavily on their spinners, Suranga Lakmal coming on as third change for just four overs of pace. Dilruwan Perera had taken the new ball and lobbed up a full toss first delivery of the innings, which David Warner dispatched for six. But on 11, Warner danced down the pitch to Dhananjaya de Silva and under-edged a catch behind.Sri Lanka had started the day at 214 for 5 and added a further 141 runs for thhe loss of their final five wickets.dddddddddddd Or, to be more accurate, four wickets, for Herath retired hurt on 33 when he was struck in the groin by Josh Hazlewood. Heraths batting has frustrated the Australians throughout this campaign, and by the time he gingerly walked off, Herath had made more runs in the entire series than any Australian but Smith.On the subject of records embarrassing to Australia, Chandimal occupied the crease for 356 deliveries during his innings, nearly 100 balls more (at that stage) than any Australian had survived in the whole series. His century came up from 281 deliveries. Having walked to the crease on the first morning at 24 for 4, Chandimal had to show some fight. He did that, his patience an example to the Australians of what could be achieved on a dry pitch.Chandimal and de Silva had rescued Sri Lanka from their extremely precarious first-morning position with a 211-run partnership, the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Test history from a score of five down for fewer than 50. De Silva moved on to 129 before he was drawn forward by Lyons length, and, deceived by the dip, inside-edged a catch to bat-pad.After de Silvas departure, Chandimal carried on in his patient method and eventually brought up his century with a single worked behind square leg off Lyon. It was a fitting way for Chandimal to register his milestone, for the nudged and nurdled ones and twos had been such a key feature of his innings. At times, though, he was more expansive, as when he reverse-swept Lyon for a six.When Chandimal did provide a chance to the Australians, on 100, they failed to take it, Smith grassing an edge at slip off Jon Holland. Smith took three catches for the innings, but spilled two: at slip, he also put down Herath. Chandimal continued to accumulate while the tail-enders kept him company. Dilruwan Perera made a quick 16 before he holed out to long-off from the bowling of Holland.Herath then joined Chandimal and frustrated the Australians with three boundaries during a 73-run part
