25 off the over, well bowled. Serves him right bowling around the wicket without a third man.

Root did tea off.

257 with 5 left. We could make 300 plus. England! 300 plus!

What do we know eh.

[smilley792]

Maybe not....forum post curse. Taylor gone.

[uknsaunders]

Taylor out, don't hold your breath...

[smilley792]

I got excited!! Lol.


Not great this. Taking one to the head obviously.  But also that it's stopped the game. Root looks like he's sized up on the floor.
Could halt his momentum

Lakmal shown the red card for beaming buttler

[smilley792]

300 up thanks to a truly awful over from lakmal.

[uknsaunders]

Sri Lanka last remaining bowler now on!

[uknsaunders]

309-6, even we might be able to defend this. Good stuff from buttler.

[smilley792]

Well it went wrong for sri there.


And despite our reservations.  England still make 309.

Is that a good score or will sri lanka sail past with ease? Can't help thinking with a bit off inputus in middle we should have got 350-360 easily.

[ProCricketer1982]

Not a bad effort eng,.... So far

[lukemannionzimbabwe]

Pakistan 33/2 after 15 overs vs Zimbabwe

[potzy248]

Oh England, poor old pitiful England. Sack the bowlers, sack the coach, sack the keeper for that shocking leave in front of Root. Terrible terrible team.

[The Palmist]

What a performance  by the Sri Lankan veterans and Lahiru.

I'd drop Balance, Broad, Anderson and Morgan for the remaining 2 games. You should be in the side on merit and on current form none of them should be in. But of course this won't happen. "We're sticking with the same 11", Morgan will say after the toss in the next game. "We think it's our strongest team!" Just who picked this squad if they think 4 of them aren't good enough to play ahead of the shambles we've seen so far? Moores has got to go!!
