Credit to Monty for that tbh. His presence has put pressure on Swann to perform again after being a bit shit for a while

218-6 at stumps, Sri Lanka only lead by 33.
Monty.
Best drinks man there is tbf.
BBC.So let's just digest what it all means. England will start the final day with a 33-run lead
From the neutral's POV (which I am not. Quite wanted South Africa to get battered), it would've been nice if Swann hadn't ruined everything by taking 2 wickets right at the end. The ball that got Samane..Yoss out wasn't played well but the turn he got was great. Realistically I think chasing down 200 would've been too much for England (if that sort of turn was consistent) but, as it looks, they won't have to chase triple digits.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 278, leaving England 94 to win. Swann got six-for.Most importantly though, he got Mahela very early on in the day.
England are 53-2, Strauss went for a duck.Trott went for 5.
It's 42 degrees celsius there.
10 off two balls for KP just there.
England need five more to win.
England win by eight wickets!
Shame the series is tied at 1-1 really. On to the West Indies for England in a month. England stay No.1.
West Indies vs Australia first test starts today.
KP gets MotM.
