So, how many overs do we think England will have to survive/win.....going for 90, as think Sri Lanka will want the full day, ideally want Leach/Anderson to take another 12 overs out the game (bat 10, 2 for changeover) and bowl sri lanka out cheaply...
Agreed. We will trail by 35 probably. I’d be surprised if they declare overnight tho, unless they go really quickI think Leach needs to be cleaning his glasses a lot. Very tropical and steamy weather in Sri Lanka. Jimmy needs to walk out and forget to take his bat. Also not tie his bootlaces too tight.
I'd be surprised if they last more than three or four overs though tbh.

The challenge we have is that our spinners will leak runs. Way too reliant on Anderson to be tightCould be an uncomfortable half hour or so for Crawley and Sibley if they declare tomorrow.
I know it's not easy for us batting last but lots of pressure on Sri Lanka anarl cos they have to make decisions to win the game. Hope we don't bowl Curran much mind.
3 50s is only useful? On pitches like these?
Borderline worrying would you say?
Bairstow, Lawrence and Buttler have made useful contributions but otherwise I agree. That doesn’t make Jennings a suitable test player though. Foakes was our best batsman on the last Sri Lanka tour....
Thanks. I’d prefer an apology for the “borderline worrying” comment. But appreciate anywayBut a 100 isn't
Haha aye pretty much
he seems to spout opinions based on absolutely zero fact mind.
None near a 140
He is a suitable test batsman in Asia, you keep saying that line, but its not true, and you've almost proved that yourself!!
Whether Jennings can score runs at Lords has no relevance to whether he is good enough to bat in test matches in Asia, he clearly is! Not sure why thats so controversial
Anyway I am being a dick to @chunkylover53 here, I apologise. My bad.

Of course, they could collapse. They’re not a great batting unit. Borderline worrying as these views are
England bowl well and apply themselves you never know... England have won games they shouldn't recently.200 more runs and its game over
Brainless from Chandimal that. I'd be furious if I was a Sri Lankan fan watching those last 2 shots.
Incredible catch from Jimmy.
It looks awful, but to be fair they are just trying to get a score
We saw with Pant in Oz, if it comes off it looks great
Got to be good enough to do it
what a catch that was man
