Reasoning	After 3 days Sri Lanka lead England by 288 runs with 3 2nd innings wicket remaining. I can't see England winning from here, to do so we are going to have to score a record 4th innings winning score and we still have to bowl Sri Lanka out yet. We also have injury problems with Collingwood and Pietersen being off the field for most of the 3rd day and Flintoff not bowling much due to an ankle injury, all of which will hamper any run chase. With Murali bowling at us on a pitch that is turning it's going to be incredibly hard to chase down 300+ to win. In my eyes Sri Lanka are a fantastic price to win from here with no rain forecast for the rest of the test.
