3-116 play stopped due to rain delay.

What are people's thoughts on Clarke's shot selection that saw him dismissed?

The 'a-typical' Clarke dismissal wasn't it?

Needs to tightenen up outside off stump.

Sri Lanka cant play test cricket, Australia is doing the right thing playing young players and giving them confidence, but I am finding it very hard to watch when you start to feel sorry for the opposition and know they arent much chop.

That's based on 1 & 1/2 tests of this series?

While their bowling is struggling to cover the loss of the likes of Vaas, Murali & Malinga their batting line-up is still very good... although they haven't really shown it thus far.

Sri Lanka lost a start player and are going through a transition themselves. Good innings by Marsh and hopefully he can get a century on debut.

Nope based on their last series too.

The rain has settled in with the Lankans 6 down and 50 ahead. Looks headed for a draw here
