Well done Mathews, did the honourable thing and got out after his ton.

So if they get the last wicket quickly what do we all think will be the England target to set in the last dig?
I say 375 as Cook is so negative. With 4 overs at the openers tonight.

Even crap bowlers do bowl decent deliveries every once in a while.
I'm still wondering why Plunkett was picked.

So is Cook gutsy enough to declare to set up an enticing run chase on a 5th day without spinners, or does he try to bat Sri Lanka out of it?
Prediction - England bats SL out of the game, but sets overly defensive fields and the game peters out to a draw with SL 6 or 7 down.

I don't think any of the pacemen on either side have done that badly considering the track has absolutely nothing in it for them. Plunkett being hammered unfairly by many. Don't think he should be playing but he hasn't been terrible.

No he hasn't. I agree there.
I'm just wondering what he has done to be picked. Did he take a load of FC wickets?

Comment on Cricinfo:
"This could quickly turn into England's favour," says Hadi, "score a quick 200 possibly inside 30 overs and send SL to bat again at the end of the day."
Must watch a lot of T20

Oooch. Haven't seen one of them for a while. Good to see the chap's alright though, thought the ball might have hit him on the neck/throat at first viewing.

Just glad he is ok, could have been nasty.

Numbers 7-11 certainly made a big difference in the 1st innings. England has a decent tail; SL a pretty long and weak one.

Finn was considerably quicker and a hell of a lot more threatening when I saw them both bowl at Lords in the CC this year.
