Hadn’t realised there was a second…
Steady progress from the Irish at 162-3.

Good to see Paul Stirling making runs in a test match. He has been a wonderful batsman for Ireland in limited overs internationals.
He is currently 68 not out with Andy Balbirnie 82 not out
Ireland 3/185

Ballburner fell 5 short of his ton.
Stirling retired hurt with cramp on 74*. Paddies 4-252.

Centuries to Stirling and Campher in the end, with Tucker, like Balbirnie, falling just short. Sri Lanka 0-81 in reply to Ireland’s score just shy of 500. Must be a road, and I can still see Ireland having to bat well in its second innings to salvage a draw.

Aye. Expect Lanka to make close to 700 and put the Paddies under pressure in the final 2 sessions.

704/3 declared. Wondered if they’d go for their own record or even 1000 at the expense of trying to win it…

At 2-54 the Paddies might struggle to avoid a loss from here.

... as predicted.
Jayasuriya will now likely run through them on day 5 and they will (I’m guessing) be on record as the team with the highest first innings score to still lose by an innings.
Some spectacular bowling figures for Ireland’s Ben White: 34 unsuccessful overs for 203. McBrine was just shy of conceding 200 runs as well ... 4 double centuries in one innings might have been another record!! A game for skully to prise open the stuck-together pages of his stats book whatever happens on day 5.

Unenviable record for the Paddies. Highest score to lose a Test by an innings.
They made 492 to lose today's match by an innings, surpassing England's 477 when they lost by an innings to India at Chennai in 2016.
