  • 2 in 2 for root 

    164 to win 
  • 11/4 Sri Lanka with betfair decent odds to back 
  • Interesting chase now. I think Sri Lanka just about have enough
  • Sri Lanka just about favourite for me.
    I'm not expecting our openers to hang around for long.
  • Chizz said:
    VERY unusual  .. one spinner takes 7 wickets and one fielder (not the w/k) takes 5 catches
    Very unusual that their spinner takes virtually all their wickets yet our quicks take all their 10. Are the teams playing on the same pitch......or are our spinners just  crap. 
    The latter.  
    Our spinners in the second innings 10-108
  • 3.4 to 1 now on betfair 🤷‍♂️ Sri Lanka are 

    All the money for England 
  • Sri Lanka just about favourite for me.
    I'm not expecting our openers to hang around for long.
    They both need to be positive. If they just try to bat and pad the ball away then the chances are that they will be out sooner rather than later.
  • If there was a crime in cricket worth shooting a player for, it has to be the spinner that bowls a front foot no ball. Most can land a ball on a pound coin from 24 yards let alone having to do so from 22 so why do they feel they need to push it so close?

  • 17-1 
    crawley out for 13 embuldeniya got one to turn funnily enough 
  • Nice an opener made double figures. That's progress!
  • Sibley in double figures now. On the immortal words of Radostin Kishishev, "right now we are like steam train"
  • For someone that is such an onside player it is amazing how many times Sibley misses a ball down the legside!

    We're going at exactly the right tempo and hopefully will get this all done and dusted today.

    And that's two that he has missed spinning into his legs since I posted this 5 minutes ago - both "Umpires Call"
  • Not exactly looked secure has he, Sibley?

    On the upside, we're over a quarter if the way there with Root still to bat.
  • Bring Buttler in at 4 to win it today!
  • England have become the first ever team to take 10 wickets with seam in one innings and 10 with spin in the other. 
  • Root drags it on gone for 11 85-3
  • Whole different picture now that Root is out. Still backing us though. Just needs everyone to stand up and just keep eeking out 5 more and 5 more.
