I'd like to see Latham make a new high score at least. And Nicholls get his 50. Perhaps a swashbuckling final session to set up Sri Lanka batting early on Day 4, chasing at least 250 to make us bat again.
True. Could rack that up before tea easily.

@mokey A double hundred is there for Tom if he wants it - he won't get many better opportunities.
A swashbuckling final session could have us more than 350 ahead (if we don't get bowled out) - and maybe still with half an hour to declare before stumps. I think they'll be hoping not to bat again in this test.

@chris-b Yep. Don't think we really want to bat on Day 5 at all. Even if just because travel fatigue/very quick turnaround between tours might start to bite.
Plus it's due to piss down....given the weather here at the moment that's inevitable.
-
good. lets advance the game a bit

I wonder what Watlings average is when he comes to the crease with us under 150 and is over 300. I reckon he'd have one of the biggest differences in the world.
For whatever reason he really thrives digging us out of holes but isn't as comfortable when we're dominant.

The reverse of Adam Gilchrist who was always up to be the 3rd or 4th century in an innings against a blunted attack but in series like '01 in India or '05 in England when they were up against it had buckleys.

Yep epic innings from Tom, has put us in a very strong position to notch up another test win. Fucking awesome.

So, best case scenario?
350+ lead by drinks last session tomorrow. 2.5 sessions to roll them? (5th day weather an issue?)
My maths ...
I think I meant 2 full days and half a session ..

They need to declare now. 4 sessions left, assuming day 5 is a write off.
Keep grinding, give Latham a chance at 300, try aim to bowl 4-5 overs tonight. If the lead gets to 300 they can attack for a full day without worrying about batting again.
