Surprised that Chandimal never got a century outside asia, thought he had a century in SA.
when he made his debut remember him being consistent for Sri lanka outside asia.

Also for a top player 5 centuries is quite low figure.

just watching herath bat here and there is so much to like about him as a cricketer

he is not the most athletic guy in the world and i dont think he is the most naturally talented guy around, but there cant be many players that get more out of what ability they have than he does

Cooks field positions and Englands aimless bowling is making me a right grumpy so-so this morning. We ought to be burying Sri Lanka in the gloom of Durham and not giving them anything to leave this game with !

Finn is in such a state at the moment it's surely kinder to drop him than make him go through this again in the next test. Bring in Ball and let Finn go back to Middlesex and see if he can get back to what once made him a quality bowler.

Oh, OK, I thought he had 10 fifties and 5 hundreds which I thought was 50%

(I realise it is 33% now)

even as a big fan of finn i think they rushed him back into the team before he was ready

tough one since I think the coach and captain want to give him the same game time a batsman would get and they both hoping he get into rhythm in the middle of the game or series.
Finn is very odd bowler.
World class bowlers when on song but really crap when not, he really need to figure out how to get into rhythm and stay there.

not a good sign when Herath scores runs he always scores runs when sri lanka are stealing test wins or draws from a losing position.
made sri lanka win the headingley test match, won a galle test match and saved couple of test as well before.

i think he'll obviously get the next game, home ground and all that, but he will need to improve significantly if he isn't to be the one to make way for stokes when he comes back from injury

reckon Finn needs a break, he often came back better after a break away from cricket, always feels like the more he bowl in poor form the more worried he gets about bowling and more bad he bowls.

Maybe Finn just needs to start fights with the batsman worked yesterday.

Fancy Sri Lanka to win the next test match. They will like conditions more down south and their batsmen seem to have started to adapt to English conditions now. Plus England's recent record in dead rubbers at the end of series they have won is pretty terrible.

Can't see it happening unless Broad and Anderson both miss the game.

400 up for Sril Lanka. A ton for Chandimal. England will need to bat again. Well done to the Sri Lankans.

I wanted better from England today. Not happy that not it wasn't only oh Johnny missing that sitter of a chance and he wasn't the only off form player on the field for us. Broad , Finn and Woakes , Ali too all didnt hit the level expected in a test match this morning.

There are no freebies or right to win only because they turn up in international cricket. Pull your socks up guys.

Where are the crowd ? Calls for more test cricket at Durham yet nobody there on a bank holiday. Plus I reckon it would have only been a fiver or £10 to get in

Not sure of the prices , but Mikey did say that anyone buying a ticket today would also get a free ticket for Wednesday's Pro 50 game

Actually it is 25 pounds and a free T20 ticket, reckon Durham shot themselves on the foot since all day 4 ticket could have been traded for day 3 ticket yesterday so essentially Durham had a very small crowd today.

yeah they look like they are just going through the motions today, after the very professional approach they have had in the series today has been a step backwards

Vince 4 or 5th drop catch in 2 test matches.

I don't normally like the guest commentators on TMS because TMS is like your old friends coming round for tea and you wouldn't want an interloper......

But I quite like Roshan.......he seems good fun and I'm enjoying his banter with Geoffrey.......

All the media that checked out of their hotels yesterday and had to re-check in and then checked out this morning will be thinking about re-checking in.....
