The over by over I'm reading says the pitch is deteriorating and spinning sharply.

450 lead for me though.

England should be all out before 450 though.

Jos had a issue with spin bowlers bowling straight in stumps line and spinning away from him. SL should try it.

Is Jos Buttler paying fielders to drop him? I have never known anything like it

Deserves 100. Well played. Almost 10 reverse sweeps in that. 231 balls is a magnificent effort for non Asian player. :bow:

Dropped by Dhananjaya. Travelled quickly to bowler. Difficult but chance nevertheless. Keaton has got two lives. Review not taken saved him on 58 and now dropped on 111.

Lead goes to over 400.

Surely only rain can save this game for Sri Lanka?
