**** England v Sri Lanka at Riverside ****

Reports of Test cricket's demise greatly exaggerated

HERATH MADE 61.

Wow.

That's the equivalent of Courtney Walsh making a 30 runs.

Or Devon Smith reaching 20.

Muralitharan will BOWL in the 4th innings.

saw him in the Nets.

Lead is 45 and counting

121.5
Anderson to Eranga, and another! Anderson takes out the off stump!

A hard-earned five-wicket haul for Anderson

Eranga  b Anderson 1.

Another beauty from Jimmy and that's another five wicket haul.

6th Test Ton : 1st outside of Asia !

Why did Ceylon change name to Sri Lanka, a Buddhist Sinhalese populated country ?  :-\

                     

Chandimal goes for an almighty heave, misses, Broad hits, Sri Lanka 9 down. A terrific innings comes to an end.

Minor drama on the field. Aleem Dar has been taken ill, and has left the field to be replaced

by Rod Tucker, with David Millns taking over the TV chair.

Poor chap, hope he feels better soon.  :-[ .

Sri Lanka lead by 74 runs with 1 wicket remaining

all out for 475! lead by 78
