98 more overs tomorrow, could get 330-350 runs if we are positive. Bowl them out on the final day.

It is still on.

I think I read if we win the series 3-0 we go to number 1 in the rankings, so there's the incentive.

Can't see us bowling them out, not with 3 bowlers, unless Swann is turning it square.
 

A draw is the strong favourite. Only one side can win though. Weather permitting there are alot of overs to be bowled. If England can post a 200 lead and get an hour shy of 3 sessions at Sri Lanka they have an outside chance. Much will depend on the day 5 wicket and a 3 man attack maintaining enough pressure.

nee chance of winning, we got no Jimmy ;)
 
Can't see how they can give that out, took far too long to call it. Umpires decision should have stuck IMO.

how can a ball hit bat and pad at the same time, it has to hit one b4 other, its defies gravity to suggest it can hit both at exactly the same time

It also defies logic that the human eye can split a difference of a millisecond too.

it cant but that is not the debate

someone is arguing it can hit both at the same time it cant

Surely it can - if the gap between bat and pad is exactly the same size as the ball one part of the ball could hit the pad at exactly the same time as another part of the ball hit the bat.
