I used to love Thorpe til he screwed his clubmate Alex Tudor over for his only ever chance at a test ton. That was pretty low

Some big turn here from Rashid! Good to see an English leg spinner ripping it

Leach should become the lead spinner in all conditions going forward. Really good bowler

I agree, Leach could become one of England’s best spinners and with age on his side it’s an exciting prospect.

Extremely poor from england allowing sri lanka to get a lead. On a pitch turning square why would they bowl curran - give the new ball to a spinner.

Think the spin quality from both sides has been rubbish, on a wicket like this the likes of india and pakistan would've knocked both sides over for under 150

Not really, this way they have protected Burns and Jennings, 1 over was bowled and Burns has taken 1 so far this tour. So, by sending Leach out it makes all is Ok for tomorrow. I think it was a good move.

Also, Jennings was at short leg for hours! He might have been shattered

Nothing to gain from sending one of the normal openers out to face, perfectly sensible decision and Burns/Jennings can get a good night's rest in before batting. Job well done Jack Leach (have to say I'd have been tempted to try and bomb the last ball out of the ground!)

I’m thinking more for the morning, we’ve seen how wicket fall in clusters I just think that a nightwatchmen gives them more chance of an early wicket and get their tails up

If it’s jennjngs and burns walking out then it’s much tougher for Sri Lanka than burns and leach

Or they can't even get the NW out and get mega frustrated, can work both ways. Understand it'll split option but if the openers wanted a NW then it makes sense to have one.
