I think it is hard to play that way when the ball is doing something and you have the likes of Anderson in decent form. You can go out there and leave the ball, but you know there is a decent chance that there is a very good ball around the corner. I wouldn't say that it's complete suicidal to try and put pressure on the bowlers and get them to alter their lengths in such conditions.

If they can make England bat again they would be pretty happy with that.

With England being a bowler down, if Sri Lanka are still batting by stumps they will get easier conditions tomorrow to set England a total of sorts.

Riding his luck. Kinda get the feeling though if he can stick around for an hour the scoreboard will look very healthy.

Off for rain but it won't last so if they take an early lunch we probably won't lose any play.

England haven't caught their chances today which has a fair bit to do with it.

Yes, apart from Mathews, they all look like walking wickets.
