**Official** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2016

[Pratters]

The off side flick for a four.

 

[Stapel]

Was Herath just compared to Lara????

 

[Howe_zat]

bored now

Timothy's just taken a wicket in the roses match so this match has slipped into low priority

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Safe to say this innings has highlighted how pathetic the first effort was by SL. This is a good pitch to bat on and they got skittled for 100.

Hope Chandimal gets his ton then gets out.

 

[Pratters]

It also highlights how there should be more fc games before tests..

Nah, 150+ ; need Eng to have to get over 100+ runs, 4th innings... so I can look smarter than I am...

They did play 2 which is 1 more than some sides bother with on a tour.

 

[Gnske]

Chandiguns!

 

[Compton]

Excellent innings from Chandimal. Bairstow's drop proving costly.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well played. Hope he goes on from here and does a Galle.

 

[StephenZA]

Chandimal... well played.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well played Chandimal. Now get out please.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bit worried.

Just a smidge.

 

[Pratters]

What lead would Lanka need to realistically have a hope to win, if we suppose they can get a substantial lead.. 150/200/250? 150 in the least I suppose though ideally around 300 i think.

 

[StephenZA]

Yeah! to a not innings loss.... now how far can SL push it?

120+ to be annoying, 170+ for a genuine chance.

 

[Compton]

England's seamers must be starting to feel it in their legs now. Bowled quite a bit over the last few days. Could well be a chance for Chandimal to go big after lunch.

Should Cook have bowled Vince/Root a little more after enforcing the follow on? I'm thinking particularly in that 10-15 overs before the new ball.

 

[Jono]

Chandiguns is deadset the biggest wildcard in cricket today. Never know when the **** he's going to go epic.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, he's quite talented. However, I simply cannot stand him, he annoys me so much.

Teams are losing away series far more than before and I think less first class games has a lot to do with it. Not easy to adopt to conditions.
