Bravo is back to his fluent best....
8-)
The lead is now 200, so I'm pretty sure we'll get close to a 400 lead by lunch tomorrow, at this rate. I just hope Bravo gets a big one today.

Another boundary to Bravo and that's the 50 partnership!

And that's Bravo's half-century....

Kirk brings up his half-century with a boundary!

Morning Mike. Lankan commentator citing Edwards powers of concentration went on to mention that he also obviously places a high price on his wicket - which is much in line with sonething I said with reference to a Bravo/Edwards discussion.

This is test match batting by these two; am not at all worried about the scoring rate. Fourteen overs left for the day's play - at current run rates WI will not get to 200 but if they have 8 wickets in hand they will hold the upper hand going into the final day.

Kirk is aiming for a third Test century. When last did we have a player hitting three Test tons?

150 partnership up...bat until lunch tomorrow, and then declare.

Kirk is out for 86...well done, lad! You've batted well in this match....

Well played Darren, get your century son!!

It will do his confidence a world of good to convert a half-century into a ton. And yes it might be Bangladesh, but i don't care. If that excuse keeps coming up, then they shouldn't of been granted test-match playing status.

It's not too often that you see the Boyz in a healthy position in test matches, so i'll take any advantage that comes...

For Day 4 let's hope with Bravo set and Chanders and Samuels to come, that we can have a productive batting session up until lunch. Then between the afternoon session and tea, declare and give the Banglas a target of 450-500 plus, as well as giving the bowlers enough time to try and bowl them out.
