Henry had his first trip to Lord's today to see day three of the England v Sri Lanka test match. An early train was the order of the day as we travelled down with Jake, David and Steven. Following tea, coffee and breakfast inside the ground we found our seats and settled down to watch the action.
Sri Lanka resumed on 231-1 with Dilshan on 127 and Sangakarra on 13. After a decent morning session with the bat, by lunchtime they had moved their score on to 344 for the loss only of Sangakarra who had doubled his overnight tally. Thoughts were of seeing Dilshan reach his double century in the afternoon session.
Seven overs into the afternoon session Steve Finn grabbed a wicket. It was Dilshan who had fallen seven runs short of 200. It was the beginning of the end. Only three more overs were possible before rain stopped play. Tea was taken early but only five balls were bowled before rain curtailed things again.
With the weather looking set in we decided to call it a day and make our way home. It turned out to be the right decision as play was abandoned for the day with no further action.
