Kamindu is more Sanga than Stokes but he is still getting on with it.

It's a hopeless situation really, follow on is still 50 runs away and even if that happens what fitness will Kumara be at to go on and bowl full tilt ..Top order has let us down bad ..Most disappointed at Karunaratne

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hahaha, into the member's club?

 

[ashley bach]

Going past him the first time could be described as a fluke, but not the second time.

Mendis > Bradman

Gets hit on the helmet...next ball, right on the money, family jewels

[SillyCowCorner1]

Fresh set of six balls to bowl at Lahiru. England sniffing the breakthrough.

We needed 4 seamers , lack of an all rounder hurt badly ..These guys are giving their best but since time is not an issue with Bazball style we need a 20 wicket attack ..

 

[Silver Silva]

I think England should rest Atkinson, he's done a lot in his 5 tests can see he's not used to this workload, pace is way down

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gotta catch those, Rooooooot

Why dont they try dilshan mudhushanka and pathirana in tests

 

[King Kane]

Root again.

He's gone from hero to zero.

Test cricket is a great leveller.

 

[mackembhoy]

Root can't catch simple catches anymore. Only catches worldies.

Would love to see his catching percentage it was about 50% a few years back.

They can give ollie robinson a chance maybe

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Only test cricket can make me back the underdog like this. It's inspiring.

Root dropped few Dollie's during tour of india
