another miracle 60 runs be nice by SL for a contest... intent clear and obvious just smack what can
-
@richard-futter Sky have signed a 3 year contract including the PSL which starts Feb 20. A fair amount of international cricket there this year with full tours by England and Oz in 2022 at this stage so a good signing by Sky.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, what should be another cracking Test match is starting in Karachi at 5am UK time.
Pakistan have superstar batsman Babar Azam back after their disappointing series in New Zealand, and start as slight favourites, which is probably justified on home soil.
Once again, though, it's the draw lay (currently 5.2) which attracts me. The forecast is for unbroken sunshine, while only one of the last nine Tests here has ended in a draw. Usually the team batting first scores reasonably heavily, so there could be a price of 3-4 to lay at on day one.
Happily for us in the UK, Sky Sports Cricket has finally realised there are teams other than England and is actually covering the game in full. Should make for interesting viewing - and some good trading opportunities.

@richard-futter maybe the surf is good today in Hikkaduwa?
-
Won't need a fifth day for this one. I expected a good day for England, but didn't see SL making it quite this easy.
-
Looking at a 4 day test now.
-
@richard-futter thats a ridiculous shot from a captain.
-
@richard-futter can imagine coach in the stands
-
Unbelievable. SL batting like they've taken complete loss of their senses. That's the draw totally out of the picture!
-
Closed position @13’s for now
-
@james-woodroffe so often goes that way in Sri Lanka; makes draw laying even more profitable there
-
@richard-futter what a test. 3 fascinating days of solid graft and then boom.
-
Out to 11... lovely jubbly
-
@richard-futter Boom some more!
-
Boom again!
-
Really can't see any way this ends in a draw
-
Looking good
-
@nathan-bennett moving day for sure. Boom! Jack!
-
todays the day forsure one side assumes control . well set draw lay . go again if stupid low for my position would be below 3's
-
Have a feeling this is going to be a good day for England. Sri Lanka need to win, so will have to bat positively in their second innings, so the English bowlers will have plenty of opportunities to take wickets if they bowl well. I like the lay of the draw at between 3 and 3.5.
