Root out - sweeping - for 124 (146)
I think we can safely say that never in the history of Test cricket have the top 7 been out playing a version of the sweep!
301-7 and a lead of 2550 -

To be fair to Curran he was caught asleep on camera five minutes before he came in to bat. He looked like he was still in that state when he played that ball.killerandflash said:

Don't know what SL are going to do for spinners in the next Test - Herath has retired and Akila (5-96 in this innings) is having to undergo tests on a somewhat suspect action.0

Rashid given out LBW. He hit it but, as we have no reviews, he has to go.

Foakes goes to his 50 with a 61

And we're off for lightning in the area
324-9 and a lead of 2780 -
Well I have to say that it's been many years since we've had the sort of selection problems that we are encountering now. To think that players like Bairstow, Broad and Woakes may play no part in this series shows how far we've come.3

3 Surrey half centuries in the match.
All you Kent fans must be feeling rather sick.0 -
We would have had 3 centuries so not sure what your point is Canters.3

Slightly worried with this one, as apparently Pakistan chased down 370 at this ground, and won by six wickets in 2015!
Need the spinners to be more consistent than the first dig, when they were a bit eratic at best.

346 all out and a lead of exactly 300
Anderson 12 (13)
Foakes 65* (119)
Invaluable partnership of 410 -
Anderson and Leach open the bowling. Denly fielding for Curran who has a side strain.0
-
Great work from Foakes to a decent ball from Leach has Silva stumped

Just had my tweet put on the BBC website. I've made it!2

Fucking hell that is an unbelievable catch0
-
Brilliant catch from Jennings off Leach, taken like a goalkeeper sent the wrong way from a penalty - but catching the ball instead of saving it with his feet.

Reviewing an LBW now......yes OUT!0

Leach...3-11.0

LBW, upon review to Leach who now has 3-11
SL 26-30 -
With the advent of Moeen, Curran and Stokes in the side as all rounders, it does mean that, in the West Indies and when we return home, we can still play Anderson, Broad and a second spinner (on current form Leach).Addick Addict said:Well I have to say that it's been many years since we've had the sort of selection problems that we are encountering now.

That does mean though that the injury caused as a result of that silly pre match kick about could mean an extended absence for Bairstow.
Makes us the best balanced side in the world with Foakes at 7 and Curran at 8. Although I could see a situation where they both move up one and Moeen drops to 8.0 -
Moeen has one that goes between Foakes and Stokes and then a hard one dropped by the slip.

103-40

197-5.....Mathews currently on 79.....could go either way, though we should be slight favourites.
15 mins to tea.0 -
Sri Lanka are generally 1/2 at the bookies to win and England 13/80

Just woke up to see SL are 219-5 at tea. So much for test cricket being dead/boring/irrelevant 😀1
