    Joe Root is playing so well, anything is possible for England in this match yet. A 150-plus chase, as much as it will be hard, is possible.

    Another beautiful day in Galle!

    Mind you, is it really winter if you're not sat with 15 layers on, squinting bleary-eyed at beautiful sunshine on the TV while outside is covered with a gentle layer of snow?

  5. Morning! My body clock is now so attuned to these starts that getting up wasn't difficult this morning. I don't know how to feel about that.

    Anyway, England will be resuming on 339-9 very shortly, still trailing Sri Lanka by 42 runs, almost exclusively thanks to an exquisite 186 by Joe Root.

  6. As it turns out, Joe Root is very, very good at cricket.
