AFG v NZ Test start delayed by a wet outfield

I know that place and there is possibility of only half hour of game, not more than that

@PaulWhite that should be the turning point of this match.

Nissanka 89 off 96 10 (4s).

SL 166 - 2 (32)

SL 176 - 2 (34)

Nissanka 98 off 105

Need 43 more to win

Nissanka century 101 off 107

SL 181 - 2 (35)

Need 38 runs to win

SL 208 - 2 (39)

Partnership 100 off 118

SL 219 - 2 (40.3)

SL won by 8 wickets.

Nissanka ended in style with a boundary.

> A consolation win for Sri Lanka and a well-deserved win too. They have been the better side in this game. England run out of steam after 5 wins in a row in the summer.

> They are going to get beaten here not because of the failings in the bowling attack but because of the profligacy of the batsmen and the disrespect they showed, not just the opposition., but to the game of Test cricket. Well done to Sri Lanka.

> It felt like they tempered Bazball a bit, looking to bat a little more sensibly and play circumstances and conditions are well as Testvangelism. But there’s still a sense that without Root, there’s not enough ballast or, in other words, given Duckett, Crawley and Brook are what they are, Pope needs to try and break the cycle of feast or fast and score more consistently.

Player of the Match: Pathum Nissanka
