Rathnayake is 3 away from a fifty by a tailender on debut. He'd be the 23rd overall and first Sri Lankan
Australia dominating the field with 8 of the first 22 to manange it, including the most recent in 2013, which I think we all remember. Majority of the 21st century instances are against England

Suffice to say I remember the England ones apart from Absolom and Freeman.
btw what counts as a tail-ender?

@Silver Silva is Rathnayake a hidden gem with the bat or are England just doing a poor job of cleaning up the tail? He’s looked good to me, although his first class average with the bat is not too promising!

He's not been known for his batting in the domestic circuit but there is one important quality he does possess, he is really brave..
Willing to take blows on the body, and he's also got tremendous stamina when it comes to bowling long spells, often on thankless pitches in Sri Lanka ..I think this impressed the coaches when they had a look at him in the national side.

His figures suggest that he's a late developer; 28 years old and only 40 FC matches. Anyway, he's done a cracking job today.

I’m hoping in the next thirty years , one of the English seamers bowls a slow yorker
eg Harmison to Clarke 2005

Yeah he’s stood up to Wood really well, certainly better than Jayasuriya who never looked comfortable with Atkinson

Bad light rule unless pitch black altogether needs binning
they have screens about 50 metres wide at both ends and your eyes naturally adjust
it’s not dangerous

Lawrence has a strange run up so that may bring a wicket out of shock

Chance to get England’s over rate up a bit!

They take a bail off and place the light meter there
not many 3 foot batsmen playing in this game

Because there is rain forecast for the next few days and they probably believe their spinners are good enough to bowl out the Sri Lankan tail under 300
