Before play started...: A lot of rain, a handy 400 for Sri Lanka, and Strauss fell before the close of play on day 2.
Where did it all go wrong for Sri Lanka?: They didn't have any bowlers who looked like they were going to take any wickets
Where did it all go right for Sri Lanka?: They got England's number 3 out cheaply. Unluckily for them, it was Anderson.
Where did it all go wrong for England?: The rain in the morning meant they aren't closer to Sri Lanka after 3 days, making the result rather unlikely.
Where did it all go right for England?: Hundreds apiece from Trott and Cook. Easy as you like.
Who won each session?: Afternoon and evening - England.
Who's winning the game?: Rain this morning meant that the draw is nigh-on certain.
Shot of the day: Cook driving Perera through mid on for four. Gorge.
Ball of the day: I would say the only wicket taking ball of the day from Mendis to Anderson, but even that was wide and crap. No award today.
Man of the day: Honours even between Cook and Trott.
Mug of the day: Honours even between the Sri Lankan bowling attack. Rather toothless against two supremely confident batsmen.
