Well after two days England looked certainties to win the Test - they had declared at 551-6 and Sri lanka were reeling at 90-odd for 6. But a combination of poor fielding by England (several relatively simple catches dropped) and very brave play by Sri Lanka (with minimal weather intervention) means the match has been drawn.
