Should england declare ?

70.2  Eranga to Ali, OUT, tries to clear the off side but it comes off the bottom of the bat

70.4  Eranga to Cook, SIX, six over deep midwicket! Cook wants his one-day place back


And that's that. Cook has declared

Sri Lanka will need 362.

England have, weather permitting, 110 overs - 12 tonight and 98 tomorrow.

6.25pm 

How will Sri Lanka's batsmen contend with the new ball with 12 overs remaining tonight ?

Nice for the Jimmy and Broadie.

Broad to take the new ball from the Pavilion End

a good game

All three results are still in play, but a draw seems the most likely. Everything is setup for a great final day of play. Herath was able to get some purchase out of the rough during England's second innings. It would be nice if Moeen could take advantage of this, though I suspect if England are to win, it will be on the back of the seamers.

West Indies, propelled by a masterclass of an innings by Greenidge, are the only side to successfully chase down 300+ in the fourth innings of a Test at Lord's.

Unlike the Chef , I would NOT have played foe a DRAW.

Anderson and Broadie stood a Chance at routing them

since when the score was 285
