71.5
Prasad to Prior, OUT, short ball again, Prior fends it off and it's taken by short leg! They're going to check the no-ball and it is so so close, they've got the camera zoomed right in because it is the closest call you'll see. But Prasad gets the benefit of the doubt and has a five-wicket haul, what a performance. It's a snorter at the throat, Prior went to fend it off and gloved it low to Silva at short leg who leaned forward to take a smart catch

MJ Prior c Silva b Prasad 10 (37b 0x4 0x6) SR: 27.02

7/160, about 45 overs remaining

England 7-173 at tea.

still 40 overs left in the day (if they can get them all in is another matter). come on Lanka

116.5 128.8 kph, short ball, Anderson fends it off and loops a catch to backward square!!! Can you believe it! Eranga has pulled it off, a snorter that Anderson couldn't keep down for once and popped up a simple catch, what a disaster for Anderson after all that effort and what jubilation for Sri Lanka 249/10


England fell two balls short! :O Anderson faced 55 balls without scoring, and Moeen Ali finished unbeaten on 108 off 281 balls! Two cracking test matches in a row!

In the AUSA v INDA match, Sam Whiteman (174) and Mitch Marsh (211) have put on a 371 run partnership, the second highest 7th wicket partnership in first class history!

I think both of these players will be test stars one day.

also, how often do you see both teams number 7 making a double century? not very often I'd say!

[Nige]

Sam Whiteman is gonna be such a gun.
