The pitch was up and down in the first session, but has gone into somnolence since then. Hopefully, it will break up soon. There is no chance of India losing this, but even if there is a bit of assistance from the track in turn or reverse swing should be an easy enough win. Sri Lanka have a tail longer than a freaking langur in their brilliant plan to play three spinners. Just 5 proper batsmen, Mathooze, Prasanna - who is slightly better than a tailender, and the might of Welegedara, Murali, Herath, and Mendis. The only thing those three spinners will be good for on the final day now is to save the test by their batting :hehe:

[vvvslaxman]

20 wickets on this patta wicket? Good luck.

[kabira]

^Pressure will do the trick. I am hoping seamers gget some reverse swing. that will surely make sure easy indian victory.

[satishg]

20 wickets on this patta wicket? Good luck.

2004 India vs Pakistan 1st test. Ind 675 runs on the flattest pitch ever, what happened in the end we won by an innings margin. Its all about pressure my friend.

[Ram]

We're winning this one, nice and easy.

[nballa]

dead as a dodo pitch, sub 80 mph bowlers on both sides, spinners out of their prime. yeah we can safely put this test in the coffin of draws. what a horrible test series. horrible.

[Guest Hiten.]

[Sachinism]

Things have started to happen. The Indian tail dropped like flys

[DomainK]

Yes, this pitch is not so batsman friendly anymore.

Your so called great fast bowlers under over cast condition and bowler friendly condiitions could not get Newzealand Tail :--D:--D:--D

[Jadoo]

I think 20 wickets is a remote possibility on this pitch, especially after seeing our tail dismissed so easily. If only we had someone like Anil Kumble, with the low bounce I reckon this would have been an ideal wicket for him.

[Ram]

We just need the luck of the draw to go our way (some leading edges going to hand, run-outs etc) to seal this one. The best part is Lanka could bat the next two sessions without losing a single wicket and even then they’re not out of the woods.
