SL has played well under pressure and they will be able to draw this match. They have 5 wickets in hand and need to play another 20 overs around . India would have hoped to win this match the way they played for 3 days. SL came back strongly in 2nd inning and would be satisfied til now the game is going on.


Sri Lanka made this test match draw. well played by SL batsman in 2nd innings.

Wasnt expecting Sri Lanka to make it until the end, kudos to them for holding it tight and making it a draw.At least this time they learned to spend time on grease and handle each of the Indian bowlers.

Seriously this is an unbelievable performance from Sri Lankan team. Last day when they lost 3 wickets just for 30 runs, people thought India would win this match easily, but today they played a real test match and saved the game. I think many people lost their bets on this test match am I right?

Absolutely Brilliant performance, on 3rd day end, it was kind of pointing towards draw, but Cricket recently became very unpredictable. But the way Sri Lankans defended themselves was good. I felt like they at the end was just playing to make it a tie, which is by every way a good move in test.

On the other hand Australian Bowlers, did some fabulous job, the wickets of England were like nothing to them. Starc might have given a good 88 runs to there opponent but those 5 Wickets did the magic. The 2nd Test was pretty enjoyable.

Well that ended quickly in the 2nd test between Australia and England. Australia destroyed England after England looked good last night and I thought they had a big chance to win this test match. Australia deserved the victory as they were on top from day 1 and showed once again that they are very tough to beat at home. Now it will be very tough for England to get back into this series but if they ever were going to get back into it, then the next test match in Perth is the place to do it as England do seem to play well on that pitch.
Never easy to chase 300 plus target in the 4th innings, England had their chances but they did not use the opportunity. Australia are very tough side to beat them at home, Hazelwood bowled extremely well ensured the victory by taking important wicket of Root.

Day 3 stumps and still SL is trail by 180 runs.SL batted well in first innings as they scored 369 for 9.India have to bat well also in 2nd innings.I think India will get a huge win again.

OTOH, Aus bowled Eng in 227 runs.But Australia lost 4 quick wickets for scoring just 53 runs.Australia is lead by 268 runs.Australia have to scores as much run as they can tomorrow.I think the pitch has turned into bowling pitch so England have to bat carefully in 2nd innings.



Sri Lankan's tried pretty well, but still the trail is huge in terms of wickets remaining. Even if the players plays well, then also I believe its too tough for end batsman. The trail will continue I think and probably if Sri Lankans can hold on it can be a draw or else a huge win for sure.

About the Ashes, Anderson and Woakes just gave a light for them in the tournament. The quick wickets will help them I think. I feel this can be a draw as England batsmanif wwants can defend pretty well.

India has gained a huge lead for now, close to 300 runs and only 3 wickets have gone.Kohli is on the grease and it would be great to see him score another century and declare the innings

any score above 500 will give India a good support to defend it as Sri Lanka batsman are weak in scoring the target as the lower order are not able to support the batting

India gave a good target to SL and 2nd innings they declared at the right time. The target is 410 runs, but SL lost 3 early wickets just for 31 runs. They need to score 379 runs to win this match and 7 wickets in hand. I think it is not possible India will win this test match.

Sri Lanka requires another 167 runs to win this match and still, they got another five wickets. SL will play for a match to get a draw and that is possible only if they can play without losing then only they go for a draw and now they left only last five players and they may not be so good in batting. Let's see how Indian bowlers will show their performance to win the match.

Great chance for England to win the match, Joe Root is the key player in the chase. For Australia to win the match only one way by picking up the wickets of Root, Ali and Bairstow if they could able to pick up the early wickets in the 1st session then they have tender chance of winning the match, but the advantage with England now.
It is a sudden turn of events as i never expected England to fold the Australians in the second innings just like that and i wanted this to be a draw but it looks like England is on route to win this match,in another match India is on route to another complete dominating win against Sri Lanka,the match is really boring to watch.
Last day what will happen we can't predict now only. Because in many test matches last day the game was changed. I think AUS can win this test match, but they must take root wicket asap then only it is possible. And in another match yes the result was expected and boring too within a 2nd session may be the match will get over.

England got a very good chance to level the series with this win and they shouldn't spoil it because they just need another 178 runs and still got six more wickets in hand to score this total. They shouldn't hurry to score runs instead play slowly and reach the target. This morning first session they shouldn't lose wickets with a new ball then they can try to win this game but Australia will try their maximum to put pressure on batsman to win this match.

i really though England not have a chance against Australia in this match but now they have very good chance to bowl Australia out and chase about 300 runs. i think if Australia get 400 runs in front they win because i not see England get that amount of this pitch.

Batting in the fourth innings is not just about runs, it is about handling pressure. England haven't shown themselves in shining light until now. They have conceded a 200+ run lead in the first innings. Beats me why you are even thinking of England having a chance in this match.

i give England a chance because how they too the momentum from Australia last night, looks like i was right at giving them a chance because they can win this test match. Australia need to bowl good to win while England need to survive the night session with out losing to many wickets. If they do then they can win the match.

Yes England do have a chance to win if they can get through the night session, right now they seem to be batting well with some decisions going their way with the ball going over the stumps from a couple of LBW decisions. Now Australia have no more reviews left for the rest of the match so they will need everything to go their way and hope the umpires get the right calls. If England can hold on tonight and not lose a wicket then they have a big chance at winning.

The key wickets are still available to play tomorrow, provided they take down chandimal , this should be easy to close within the second session of the play.

Both teams have a chance to win this match. tomorrow 1st session if ENG can manage to play without losing any wickets then ENG is going to win this match.
