Looks like England are going to win this. A couple of wickets for Tom Curran.

Livingstone came in at 77-3, so a good effort and a lone (ish) hand.

Liam is having a fantastic tour, on top of a couple of good hands for the lions last summer.

he does seem to be a very good player. He did well in the CC last year as well, I think.

Sam Curran and Leach not having good games. England need to hold on for a draw here.

Hameed is having an abysmal tour, worrying follow up to his debut Test tour. As I've said before he was picked off that back of a single season, so was that down to a run of form or the class beneath it.

Lions will have done a good job to draw from here, so a good test and plenty to play for.

decent Sri Lankan team as well on a more meaningful pitch for English lions to tell on player class, the first deck was too English or batting friendly for my liking.

From 58-4, Livingstone and Foakes leading the resistance.

How close is Ollie Rayner to a England call up?

Stats wise he had a good summer last year.

he probably should have been in the test squad for India

his chance might have gone as i doubt he will get a spot for home tests or in australia next winter
