India is still leading with 498 runs and I guess they should declare the innings and let Sri Lanka bat. The target is itself huge and SL have long ago been unable to chase down a huge score but somewhere Virat wants to add 100 more runs to declare but it's not needed when just 2 days are left and they already have 500 runs to defend. No point of spending 2-3 hours tomorrow to get more runs but anyways, it's upto Virat now. Dhawan and Pujara played fabulously in the first innings while Mukund did well in the second one. Glad that the openers now are performing well.
498 runs is a big target but Kholi will not take declare. he will play the first session full and try to make target 550 runs. After that, he will declare. If he has any feeling to declare then today itself, he will take. If the rain does not disturb this game, then India will win this match. Suppose rain disturbed it's plus point for Sri Lanka.

who will win England or south Africa..
I think England going win this test match because of this the home pitch of England and they have good batting lineup and good blowing attack. and one thing there is chances to drew due bad wethers.But the forecast displays good amount of rain around the stadium so no one knows about this match.
On the other hand if India could manage to all out Sri Lanka before lunch then Sri Lanka will be in deep trouble in the first test match of this series.
Still it's raining I think today the play over. Still, 2 days left India made 56/2 runs. Lead by 365 runs if they play tomorrow first session and make 100 more runs and declare means they have a chance to win this test match. But tomorrow also the rain continues then I can't say whether this match will get result or ends as Draw.
Till now, India has the control of this match.I don't know how many hours rain can save Sri-lanka.But still now, india have a good chances of winning this match.But cricket is an unpredictable game so we can't tell that surely.Tomorrow is a big day for both team.

India continued their dominance in their first test , india trail by 446 runs which is not bad and if sri lanka continues to play like this india may most likely win the first series.
Sure test matches are boring and i have not seen an entire match in a very long time,the main reason is there is no competitive players or matches as now a days the pitches are favoring batsmen and very rarely do we see competitive test matches,they need to build good pitches that could challenge every batsmen and then we will have interesting matches because it is the best contest with the bat and bowl if played in the right condition.

I don't know why the schedulers of international cricket matches fix the matches without checking forecasts. Rain wasted most of the day in England and South Africa match. 171/4 is the score England has managed and I hope tomorrow will be a better day for the match.
India have scored very good and they are right now 540 for 8 wickets , if they score 600 then it will be a good score and in bowling they have to take quick wickets so that they can win this match.
Indians scored exactly 600, and it'll be a tough task Sri Lankans to cross that score in less time. If India manages to take all wickets by tomorrow's day end, then India will be having a huge benefit over Sri Lanka.
India batted well in 1st innings they made huge score 600 runs. Dhawan misses a double ton and superb batting from Pujara. in the end Hardik Pandya half century helped India team to score 600 runs. After batsman performance the bowlers did a fantastic job, they took five wickets for Sri Lanka in the score is 154 runs. Now, this match fixed India is going to win. I don't think that SL will come back in this test.
Don't use the word fixed instead of certain. It has different connotations.
India is indeed in a very strong position. They should finish off the Sri Lankan tail in the morning and think about imposing the follow on.
I don't get it, can't technology be used so that no-balls can be called by the third umpire? Bowlers and coaches should take some responsibility, I cannot recall ever having seen Anderson, for example, being no-balled, and broad seems to manage to keep his foot behind the line. Others, such as stokes, bowl more no-balls. Surely this could be eradicated in the nets, keeping part of your foot behind the line is just as important as control of line and length.

I did not know there is a match going on between India and Srilanka,India is on a very strong position right now on the first day as Dhawan scored a rapid quick hundred which helped India to reach 399 runs for the loss of just three wickets and it looks like India will win the match with the way the match is going.
Even though Indian captain failed to score runs still India manage to score good runs on day one of the text matches. If they add another 200 runs today then it will be very good total and they can put pressure on SL batsman to win the match easily. Let's see how Indian bowlers will perform in this text match.
England vs South Africa 3rd test will be starting tomorrow and by winning 1 each both teams have shown their power and will to win this series. Though England's moral of high we should never underestimate South Africa.
I don't think England's morale would be high, given how they lost in the second test.
Both teams are very strong. I would still give England the benefit of home advantage. Plus South Africa have the tendency to choke at crucial moments. Both teams are good so it all depends on who will perform better on a given day. I think both teams got equal chances to win this match even though England playing at home ground.

IMO, most probably England is going to win the next one. South Africa defeated England by a huge margin in last one, I'm predicting a very willing comeback from them.
