[Arthur Crabtree]

Wow, SL drew with nine down. What an amazing outcome for them.

Lasted 2.5 hours for the loss of just the ninth wicket.

Sonal Dinusha (who!?) presumably batted unbeaten for the whole of day five...

[Arthur Crabtree]

I see he got a ton in the first innings... and 100 and 84 in the first Test. Great stuff.

Seems to be an all rounder.

[andy]

Great effort from SL good to see them fighting for that draw

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hero time for Dinusha.
