Sad to see Sanga walk off for one last time. Had such a great career though.

Great player, once he stopped all that sledgy nonsense. Would have been nice if he could have signed off with a century, but then, isn't that always the case.

Fascinating final day in prospect. If India can prize Mathews and Chandimal early, they have a great. But if Mathews stays, win is still on for SL.
Also Ashwin 4-0 Sanga. Sanga's average against Ashwin this series: 5.5 Sanga's average against off-spinners in tests(since May 2001): 78.09

They're doing a Trott - pushing Pujara up to open. Bet that'll go well.

When two of your three openers are injured in the space of two tests, there is not much else you can do. Also Che averages 103 opening the innings in three tests.
While I'm gutted Nohit sharma is still in and won't open like he does in ODIs and T20 for India, I'm really glad for Che, I'm hoping he gets a daddy hundred.

Do I have to acknowledge that Prasad is a decent bowler now? Or just on a run of form?

Well done Che. And of course he gets a duck next innings. Your two favourite players have the best performances so far this innings, Sri! And here's a piece on them.EDIT: Ishant Sharma - kind of a jerk?

He isn't. I know people who have spoken to him on and off the pitch, he is a really nice guy. Sri Lankans riled him up especially Dhammika Prasad and Chandimal, so he gave it back. Not saying it is right, it is wrong, but you can understand why he did it. I suspect he might either get 100% match fee deducted or banned for a game, which isn't good news because he is our strike bowler and is in fantastic form. I'd be happy if he stops his send offs, we are calm and composed India not unruly Australia NOTE: Yes, Che and Ashwin have been brilliant

I was referring to the send-offs mostly. I'm not fond of those, unless they're Marlon Samuels to Ben Stokes.
