100-2
While we don't seem to be playing too well we have at least avoided being 5 down for < 100.
Game on.

in the case of Nick Knight, any criticism is probably not strong enough, the guy is a **** of the highest order.

Not really. Trott's using his brain and KP's been lucky.England doing it quite well so far. Suddenly they are able to play spin?
Two of our top six need to make very big scores ideed if this is to get close tomorrow.

i can't think of many things more awesome than the prospect of this kid being at every Galle test match until the test match he makes his test debut in #MakeItHappen

My main concern atm is the lack of Bumble.

If SL's last two wickets can add 80-odd, 300-odd is a reasonable target..... It feels like a lame argument, yet this is still a Test that might go any possible way. So far Trott & Pietersen seem to apply (finally) quite well.If SL's last two wickets hadn't added 80-odd we could have been within 100 of the target by this point.
Then again, we could have been six or seven down.
I don't agree KP is simply being lucky. Sure he was dropped once and played a mow just over a fielder early on, but otherwise he seems quite sensible.
I realise my wish is the father of my opinion, but I do think this might get very tight!

Trott's looked good this innings; I still get the feeling that the Broad no-ball could be the deciding factor in this Test. I would still give England some chance of chasing this though, 229 with 8 wickets in hand is gettable, one of these 2 definitely needs to reach three figures though.

He played well eventually, but was lucky to survive long enough to get set.
It's been a frustrating test. Too many dropped catches in SL's first innings, Broad's sequence of no-balls eventually costing us in the their 2nd knock, and the brain-dead batting in our first innings. We really should be in the driving seat, but a couple of the guys are going to have to do something heroic to see us home from here.
