It ' s Ballance who provided the much
needed balance to the England side when the chips were
down . They were struggling at 121/ 6 and Ballance along
with Jordan put on an all important stand of 78 for the
7th wicket and that rescued England. He played a
sensible knock and notched up his maiden Test ton,
which helped England to snatch back the advantage.
England now lead by 389 runs and there might be an
overnight declaration. Sri Lanka might face a target of
390 tomorrow. It promises to be an exciting day

England have declared, setting Sri Lanka 390 to win in 90 overs
