Quote:
England closed day three of the first Test in Galle on 111-2, requiring a further 229 runs to achieve the highest run-chase in their Test history.
After both openers departed, Jonathan Trott (40) and Kevin Pietersen, (29) dropped on 12, shared an unbroken 63.
Sri Lanka resumed 209 ahead at 84-5 and England thought they had dismissed them for 167, but Stuart Broad was no-balled when Prasanna Jayawardene had made 29.
Jayawardene went on to an unbeaten 61 before his team were all out for 214.
As regular followers of England will be only too aware, they have only scored more than 300 to win a Test on three occasions in the 135-year history of the game.

Well we need a good start in the morning to have any chance of reaching this total.
Where is Richard when we need him.
