........and are already 2-1 with Jon Lewis getting a wicket in his first over on his debut :D

Why is this test match starting on a Friday instead of the usual Thursday? :confused:

Very true Ive just noticed that too - maybe it was to allow rest days as the last test should have finished on Monday?

+44
 
The pitch looks really dry & with the good weather forecast we can't let them get too many 1st innings...
 
231 all out, at least 80 more than they should have got :mad:
It seems almost the norm for tails to plunder runs against us now:(
 
Their tail end is suprisingly good, hopefully we wont lose a wicket tonight, anyone know how many overs left, I'm guessing about 15?
 
Sri Lanka finished the day on 286-7, with two days left, so a total of over 300 will be required and I can't see us keeping Murali out for that long, so a drawn series is the most likely result now. :(
 
Hmm Trescothick gone :( bowled by Murali

Just when I thought that it "might" be on I'm now back to thinking its a very very tall order.

Gonna need a century off one of the top order at least.

95-1

Strauss is looking good on 47. Could'nt have wished for a better start to be honest. Come on England :)
 
120-4 Muralis got all 4!

Time to pack up im afraid theres only one outcome here :(

Might be worth having a bet on Murali getting all 10 though :eek:

Edit: Flintoffs out :( :( Murali again!!
