England team came into this test match they scored 325 runs and lost all the wickets, but in today's match Sri Lanka team will have enough chances as they are likely to draw the match. Because even though the past matches were lost by a wide margin, they have to put in a lot of effort in this match, because the Sri Lankan team will have to show enough opportunities to come out of the losing shell in today's match. But England team's bowling performance is good so England team is more likely to win if only the players stand.

The Sri Lankan team will lose this match as the Test game usually requires a long performance by keeping wickets. But the Sri Lankan team has already lost 5 wickets, but the wickets have been lost by very aggressive batsmen. Only Pathum Nissanka scored 64 runs off 51 balls, the highest performance by the Sri Lankan team.
With such a performance it will never be possible to win with England team, because they will lose this series in a row, most likely, because those who performed well in other matches came to this match and got out with a bad performance. And the Sri Lankan team is now under a lot of pressure, so far the Sri Lankan team has scored 93 runs for five wickets in 17 overs.

Yeah, in 2nd day England posted 325 runs in first innings skipper Ollie Pope played brilliant innings of 154 runs and ben duckett with 86 runs are top scorer from England team. Milan Rathnayake takes three wickets Sri lanka is on the way 211 runs with loss of 5 wickets and Day 2 stumps off SriLankaa team lost their wickets early then 6th wicket partnership of 118 runs between Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis continues both players took the pressure off their team the most important thing in test matches is to build a big partnership if you build a good partnership so automatic pressure builds on opposite team. Captain de silva is playing with 64 runs which helped their team to take this lead Sri lanka team 114 runs behind and five wickets in hand now
