Good to see a competitive match. I thought sl would crumble, but it's setting up for a thriller second dig

Sri Lanka win this if they can get 30 or 40 in front

England to be at least 2 wickets down by the time they pass Sri Lanka I reckon.

Batting last is still a disadvantage, but England are probably going to collapse here :no

Lead getting worrying. Probably even now....SL lead equal to the disadvantage batting last?

Sri Lanka clear favourites

If we bat like normal we will be 3 down before we go past the deficit

We should all be breathing a sigh of relief... England could very easily have bowled SL out, leaving themselves a tricky 5 overs to lose 3 wickets bullying the SL bowlers and clearing the way for the tailenders to set a daunting target for the 4th innings

helluva plan!

Brilliant plan opening with Leach as Jennings can now bat at three and Stokes at five!
