And Trott gets his century too.
England are 287-2 at the close of play.
What's the odds for a draw? Gotta be worth a punt. A couple of quid surely?
Great day at the cricket today for £20! Trott really is a class act although Sri Lanka don't really have a bowling attack. And great to see Cook carrying on in Test cricket as he left it. Get to 600 by the end of day 4, bowl SL out for 140, England win. Simple.
England are on 450-4 now so I don't think it's likely they'll get a lead of anything more than 90 by the end of today's play.
Pietersen managed a stunning knock of 3.
Trott gets his 200.
465-5, Trott finally goes.
England lead by 91 at the close of play.
Trott playing for himself again.
No wonder his average is brilliant.
Just have SSN on and they are still talking about a possible victory

So the denouement of five rain-splattered, plastic-covered first Test match of the summer comes to this...19 paying spectators. We are in serious danger of starting play with more people on the pitch than in the stands. No, it's not an average gate for Glamorgan - it's England. Against the fourth-best Test team in the world. There were more spectactors watching Bushey under-nines against their West Herts counterparts on Friday. And you didn't have to pay £40 for the privilege either.
Tests
Its time the format for Tests were changed. For example you can still have 2 innings but limit the amount of overs in an innings. For all the rain this Test has suffered, there have been enough overs bowled to warrant a result had players been forced to play quicker instead of making sure their average looked good.
50 overs an innings and watch Tests rise again from the ashes and be popular once more.
The way it is now, its deader than an Arsenal title challenge in mind april
