When's tea, was it 4:20? Wouldn't be surprised to see an over of Swann just before.

4:10pm

Sanga not quite there at the moment, is he? Fighting hard, but for such a wonderfully elegant batsman his timing's just a fraction off.

Time for the first over, left hander specialist

How many men around the bat for Swann?

It's funny how particular sessions/spells/knocks just stay fresh in your memory. I distinctly remember the first time I saw Tremlett bowling. It was the 2nd innings of the Nottingham test against India in 2007. The guests won comfortably, but he hustled up Tendulkar and the others with his pace and steep bounce as he picked up three very cheap wickets.

Was surprised that I didn't see him in a Test for a long, long time after that. Anyone who saw that spell could not deny that there was raw potential there.[/FONT]

Sky (Knight & Gower) still whining about England batting until Bell's ton, without mentioning the psycological effect of giving the Sri Lankan openers just 10 minutes to get ready. All about being to nice to Bell.

Rain, and the general perception that this is a done draw will keep people away. Mostly the rain.

Jayawardene gone - great bowling from Tremlett.

33-3

Absolute pearler from Tremmers. Mehela goes.

Such a shame about the weather, because this pitch isn't quite the lifeless autobahn the first couple of days suggested.

Wowser

****ing rain ruined this game. Awesome spell from Tremlett though. Still think Lanka will draw this comfortably.

Even on the first day it was doing odd things tbh. The SL bowlers just made it look a lot flatter than it was.

Must confess I missed most of the first day due to the Cambridge Beer Festival.
