338/3 would have been a different. New ball now and if we can get them out around 400 we have something to work with. Lot of time left in this game.

Lanka scored too much runs too fast, they are way ahead of the game, that mistake by Greaves prove to be too costly, might of cast us the game

How is this a good fight back?
Next stop is 400+
Good fight back would be 265-6

@LBW375
Would you have preferred 338/3 with two set batsmen or 338/5 with two new batsmen at the crease and a ball only 3 overs old?

@bird
Yes agreed they scored too fast but they knew they had to force the pace to get a victory to square the series. We miss Roach as his experience and ability to move the ball both ways would have come in handy.

@sgtdjones
Too many runs for too few wickets, and scored too quickly
Sri Lanka spinners will be cause problem
350 up quickly
Kudal has 10 centuries and averages 36
400 in quick time ?
