England 13/8 To Make History
England closed the day on 111-2 chasing a fourth innings target of 340.
England have been set a target of 340 to beat Sri Lanka in the first Test in Galle. After closing day three on 111-2, England require a further 229 runs to achieve the highest run chase in their history. Boylesports offer odds of 13/8 on history being made, with a Sri Lankan victory 8/15 with William Hill.
In a topsy-turvy opening match, England traded at a high of 7/1 but have their bowlers to thank for keeping them in the match. With one fewer specialist batsman in the line-up, responsibility will fall on Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen, the two men at the crease.
