Oscar the Grouch Jan 2021 7:58am, 25 Jan 2021 2,423 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Very much in the balance, I would say, on a pitch that is starting to do a lot
GregP Jan 2021 8:02am, 25 Jan 2021 124,849 posts	0 GregP I thought earlier that we need to keep the ask under 150
Derby Tup Jan 2021 8:06am, 25 Jan 2021 48,690 posts	0 Derby Tup Some discussion yesterday that 150 was about the limit of what is chaseable on that pitch
NDWDave Jan 2021 8:10am, 25 Jan 2021 13,807 posts	0 NDWDave Big wicket that. But Sri Lanka are almost favourites. England scored less than 150 excluding Root

rf_fozzy Jan 2021 8:27am, 25 Jan 2021 12,818 posts	0 rf_fozzy Hattricks within an individual match only surely? Not even sure when someone takes a hattrick across an innings that that's valid despite it being counted 'officially.' According to the Zaltz on TMS, it's the first time that a team has taken all 10 wickets in one inns with seam and all 10 with spin in the other
rf_fozzy Jan 2021 8:30am, 25 Jan 2021 12,819 posts	0 rf_fozzy Think it'll be v v tight, but England will win this maybe by 2 wickets. A few batsmen are due runs. And SL must be demoralised after that 2nds performance. It was a 1990s England-esque dismal collapse throwing away wickets judging by the radio commentary
Cerrertonia Jan 2021 8:48am, 25 Jan 2021 13,669 posts	0 Cerrertonia Embuldeniya has had a good game, 7 wickets in the first innings, scored 40 out of 126 runs in the innings batting at number 10, and he's looking good for some more wickets in the second innnings.
