Nafees Ahmad Sh: "@pete @kiran ! I still remember the applause for chris martin , when he used to score his first run."

Jafran Mohamed: "Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V of First innings and take a single... A win For Srilanka..."

kieran: "Somerville with two not outs, (they couldn't get him out!), has his average turbo boosted to a healthy 32.5. Well played!"

Pete: "Amazing and tenacious lower order batting, BJ Watling take a bow, four solid partnerships, stuff of legends. "

Terence Jones: "@Kiran - I know what you mean, I miss the bunnies of the old days. Bumrah is probably the closest we have to a genuine No. 11 nowadays."

ali : "last 5 wickets added 187 runs.. that seems too much to respond.. Srilanka will need to play really well to beat tht"

Liam: "No century for Somerville then"

12:48pm Sri Lanka will need 268 to win this Test. Only four times has a team made more than 250 in the 4th innings at this ground, so it will be quite a challenge. And that is down to some sensational lower-order batting from New Zealand. It's only the second time that all batsmen from 5-11 have made double-digit scores in a second innings of a Test in Sri Lanka - Australia in 1992 were the last to do it. Will Somerville walks off unbeaten on his highest first-class score. He's batted 118 balls, an effort on par with BJ Watling's 77, another match-saving knock for him. Southee showed restraint, Boult showed flair, and even Ajaz Patel had a bit of fun. Sri Lanka looked flat in the field that last hour. Can they use this lunch break to shake it off? It's not looked a terribly tough surface to bat on, so there is hope.

Elliot: "@Amir, I hope Williamson is reading our crazy comments and heading to the nets"

Kiran: "Am I the only one missing the likes of Chris Martin, Walsh and mcgrath at the coveted no. 11 position?? These guys have no resemblance to them. Lol"

Amir Ali: "I hope Williamson is reading our crazy comments on cricinfo and just relaxing and enjoying.. "

Shishank dahiya: "Lower order fightback by the kiwis shows that pitch has no demons. The only problem is chasing in fourth innings has always been tricky "

Boultsy: "Oh! I am telling you Williamson would play the next test just because he is the captain otherwise he doesn't warrant his place based on his effort in this test ;) "

Jacob: "All the talk of Boult outscoring Williamson with the bat. Think how much trouble Sri Lanka will be in if Kane decides to give himself a bowl."

James : "150 added since the 6th wicket fell (124)." --- And now 250 since Taylor fell

Lakmal around the wicket

Another record for Somerville, by the way: Most balls faced by a batsman No. 9 or lower in the 3rd or 4th innings in Galle. Goes past Ashley Giles and Ishant Sharma, the only others to bat 100 balls or more. It's also the highest by an overseas batsman for positions 9-11.
