Muralitharan got one more to take his match total to 10.
Flintoff hit the winning runs to wrap up a 6-wicket victory.

That would have been a bit embarrassing given the position we were in, but a good win

We seem to have let them off the hook again.

I'm going tomorrow. Was hoping they'd be about 6 wickets down by the end of today so I'd see both teams bat tomorrow...

There still might be a Sri Lankan collapse tomorrow... looks doubtful though.

Sri Lanka could win this. Why can England never seem to enforce their superiority?

What a pile of TURD! If we want to keep the ashes we will have to play much better!

England are going to LOSE the test today. Nobs!! They need to play much better than this.

They might not... The run-rate is so slow and wickets aren't falling that it may still end in a draw...

They might not... The run-rate is so slow and wickets aren't falling that it may still end in a draw... A draws unlikely. Aren't there still 2 days left (including today) or is it a 4 day test?

There are but Sri Lanka might still be batting for a while yet...

Doesn't it end today? Usually does.

316-8 despite an early wicket England are leaking a lot of runs! Not looking at all good!

So, England are chasing 325 to win the final test. It's possible but unlikely, as no Trent Brigde test has ever been won by a team scoring more than 300 in the final innings.
