Looks like we picked Bresnan as a 3rd spinner
This beginning to look like those games in the WI, when after losing the first test England got close to winning bet couldn't quite make it.
If this wicket gets any slower the slow bowlers will have trouble reaching the batsman.
sl now in front. A drawn game looks certain unless the new ball does the trick.
Bowling Pietersen was a goo idea....... for SL anyway.
Give Trott 1 over please!!

I thought they said it was going to get harder to bat, not easier!!
Beautiful bowling from Swann, is he winning this game for England?
Back from the garden centre to see Swann take two!! come on make it 3!!
I'll try not watch or listen for the first session tomorrow because I overslept and missed the first two wickets, then went shopping when thy 14 ahead and missed the last two wickets for only 8 additional runs. I may be bringing them bad luck.<sad>
Jaya and Mathews will bat out 2 sessions tom.
Nice to see that although one nightwatchman may have worked, a second didn't.
Now we are in a situation where the impressive Prasanna Jayawardena is coming in at 9
He wasn't too impressive in the first innings JT.
He will be in the second.
Game is there for England to take. They were aided by some very negative batting from SL who I guess will be looking for a minimum 150 lead.
England will only toil in the field tomorrow.
Good to see Andrew "Needs Sacking" Strauss starting with Swann.
That has to go down as a chance dropped by Cook... Matthews could prove to be dangerous, if you give him chances...
Bell's a much better short leg than cook
Swann could've done this last night had Strauss brought him on earlier and not so late like he did...
Swann can get an 8-fer here.... Imagine that, he's done his own and Monty's job in this Test match. So, who needs Panesar?
SL Commentator: The lead is nowehere near enough (lead at this point is 63)... You need to remember we have no Saeed Ajmal in our side.
