Anderson's got a back problem and can't bowl.

SL 316-6. Both batsman look very settled but it might take them a while to get in again after tea. Still a batting track but more bounce in it for Tremlett.

Rors was right about the long tail. SL go from 397-7 to 400 all out.

Although it's a good score if England can get to close without losing a wicket, I think the match will be even and we'd go increasingly likely towards a draw.

Fancy Strauss to get a ton.

47-1 at the close

Strauss gone for 20

Anderson in as night watchman

So looks like a good confidence for the SL bowlers in the morning then

It really is about time we stopped with it.

I think I just saw Rey Mysterio there.
