Predictions for the 1st innings lead

[The Outsider]

The first session has been the most difficult to bat during and the new ball is due in 10 overs or so. I think India has a good chance to take a 50 run lead here and set up a test match win from there on. Your predictions?

[DomainK]

Voted for India to lead by 0-50. More hoping than expecting.

I think SL will play slow boring cricket to take 0-50 runs lead. The match will be exciting draw with SL holding on for a draw on D5 with couple of wkts to spare.

I dont see SL making more than 360 here. Let's hope Zak gets the breakthrough.

10 overs means 50 minutes of play gone, all the early morning dew will be gone.

10 overs means 50 minutes of play gone' date=' all the early morning dew will be gone.[/quote'] exactly my thoughts!

[jf1gp_1]

Sl will bat the whole day tomorrow and till lunch on 4th day leading by 225 then Indian will be all out for 210 SL wins by inning and 15 on 5th morning

The ball isnt reversing, it wont take too much turn on day 3 either. With Sure-shot Samaweera and FFTB Jayawardene at the crease, this is gonna be a run-feast that will rival an Indian marriage. Only in this case, the menu will have the names ‘Ishant Sharma’, ‘Harbhajan Singh’ and ‘Amit Mishra..’ :((

:hysterical: Are you sure your last name isn't Monga, Sriram? :P On topic, hard to predict. I have no confidence in Ishant's abilities. Mishra got hammered, and Bhajji is useless. With Zaheer doing all the work, I think Lanka will end up with a 50-100 run lead.

I concur

[iHammad]

SL to lead by 50-100 runs is my prediction.

[satishg]

Sl will take the lead no matter what!
