Sri Lanka still big favourites, but we do have a chance as long as we don't lose more than a wicket in this session.

I really don't like the sweep shot, I wish we'd just play straight.

Had we not batted so badly in the first innings, we'd be in a very good position now.

Two Test series are stupid, an absolute minimum of three is required and personally I think it should be at least four.

The 87 runs added for the last 2 wickets could be the difference. If we'd have got those wickets sooner, we'd be chasing 60-odd runs to win by now rather than 130 +

Brilliant hundred Trotty, now finish the job and be there at the end when we get the 340 required.

Calm down Prior, he's looking edgy.

Trott showed how to play, but how many of our batsmen let us down. Strauss, KP, Bell and Patel. That's 4 of the top 7.

Irresponsible Swann, shocking given the situation.

Aside from Trott and Cook normally our batsmen seem to mentally fragile and unable to dig in. Patel has done himself no favours at all with his 'batting' performances in this game.
