I think the rain might save us here. We have been very poor over the last two days.

I wouldn’t want us chasing more than 120. It’s really not been great from the spinners.

It’s also been a pretty bang average from a fielding perspective.

Untidy work from Jos Buttler behind the stumps.

More manful showing from the Sri Lankans in the second innings to restore a bit of dignity that, but 74 to win is still surely - **surely** - easy enough to knock off.

And now Root won't bat on all 5 days of the test. What in the name of god were they thinking?

The openers have had a poor game. Sibley needs to sort a game against spin fast.
