Compo's dropped a chance.

And seems to be some controversy over whether Kaushal was caught on the bounce.

Very bad batting from Sri Lanka. They are technically so weak and they are struggling to even hit the bad ball for runs.

There are clips of incidents on BBC. So I can wade in.

Bairstow catch- clearly out.

Compo drop- half chance, if that.

Yes. Holding said he should have caught it but I thought that was very harsh!

This is SL's main chance isn't it. Kusal and Mathews.

Break this partnership quickly and they'll probably be all out by the close!

Holding might have caught it, being a yard taller than Compo.

There is nothing to learn watching Sri Lankan batsman in this innings.

Only about an hour to the close. There must be a risk to play on Monday though.

Yes. There may be a few showers if we get to Monday but weather set fair for tomorrow so that'll probably be the last day.
