Subrata: "How good is the Day-5 pitch? I am not watching it on TV. It seems to me, the pitch hasn't changed much!" -- It seems like all that grass has only succeeded in keeping the pitch firmly bound together. Even the footmarks wide of the stumps aren't particularly prominent.
12.02pm And that will be lunch. Sixty-eight overs remain after this, with Sri Lanka leading by 107. The victory push their coach spoke about is happening, even if such a victory is still far-fetched on a pitch that seemingly has very little for bowlers even on day five. We'll be back in 40 minutes.
