I'm reminded again of something Short wrote recently, approximately "The biggest fallacy in chess is the quasi-religious belief in the primacy of the opening."

I think this is the best test match I have seen so far this year.

It's great to see Kevin Pietersen play so well again. Smiley

England will require 94 to win. I think this is the best test match I have seen so far this year.

Hopefully this does not end in a draw.

Update: This is a very close game now.

Sri Lanka v England:
1st Test: Galle, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka 1st innings: 289/8 [Mahela Jayawardena 168 n.o.]


New Zealand v South Africa:
3rd Test: Wellington, NZ
South Africa 1st innings: 474/9 dec.
New Zealand 1st innings: 275/9 (effectively 275 a.o.)
South Africa 2nd innings: 189/3 dec.
New Zealand 2nd innings: 200/6
Draw

What I am interested in is if England can avoid horrendous batting in the 2nd innings.

Update: Amazing draw by NZ today.
