rashid in!

 

[StephenZA]

Good knock from Moeen. Well done.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

The beard is most certainly feared.

Sri Lanka have been awful today.

 

[grecian]

I think Moeens intentions are clear now, should be fun whilst the Lankan fielders allow it too last.

Sri Lanka have been awful today.

Well their fielding has been, I think their seamers were pretty good actually, not helped by awful fields and catching, because we should have been rolled in the first hour.

Yes sorry, fielding and plans.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Before lunch was crap, after lunch is ****ing abysmal.

 

[StephenZA]

There fielding has been atrocious and I don't know what the plans are to take wickets, if they had any! But the bowling, while not bad, the best you could say is it has been solid, never really looked threatening. Many of the wickets have just been terrible shots.

 

[StephenZA]

Congrats Herath, top quality bowler.

 

[Scaly piscine]

No need for that.

 

[Bijed]

Ah, shame, but congratulations Herath on the 300

 

[Compton]

Sometimes you watch Anderson bat and think that there's definitely a decent batsman in there.

 

[grecian]

150 up, hoping he can double the next higher-scorer.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Need to look for 2s if you can't hit boundaries.

 

[StephenZA]

Well batted England. Now for some Anderson and Broad..

 

[grecian]

Disgraceful decision by Cook, Moeen had another 100 out there.

Don't forget he robbed Jimmy of the chance to boost his average too

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Be looking for a couple before tea here.

 

[Compton]

That's not good batting.
