[Spark]

horrid ball

This is good for a giggle, as all upsets are when your team isn't the one being upset. England will still get through comfortably IMO, probably not in first place, though.

Good from SL. I don't think England have beaten them in a World Cup in decades (did they beat them in '99?). Saying that, most half-decent teams have historically owned England at World Cups.

England's last 3 games are India, Australia and NZ. It's a very real possibility they lose all 3 and miss out on the semis all together

Malinga denied the match winning 5th wicket there. Outstanding spell nevertheless

That wasn't really as difficult as it looked initially.

yeah, was just slow off the mark

 

[Spark]

jesus, stop bowling length

 

[weldone]

Uh nooooo

Giving that last over to Malinga was probably a mistake in hindsight - should have kept him back for when Wood in strike

 

[wrongun]

FML....I wish he just held on to that and it would be over

fk stokes gonna get a 100 and win this

 

[cnerd123]

Omg Stokes stahp plz

That catch should have been taken

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** this isn't over.

 

[harsh.ag]

WonderStokes

 

[weldone]

Give the next one to Pradeep. He has bowled well today.

 

[wrongun]

Last ball...Yorker onto the stumps pls

 

[andruid]

[Spark]

Nah, won't happen. They're too good a side to lose 3 on the bounce when they know it's a must-win situation. They may still sneak through here anyway.

 

[cnerd123]

Either way, the result of this game is hilarious. Eng getting upstaged by the second worst team in the tournament or Sri Lanka snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Stokes has been immense tho

 

[DriveClub]

pradeep is horrible at the death, this is gonna be over soon

 

[cnerd123]

Worth giving DDS another go?

 

[vcs]

This will go down as a legendary effort if Stokes gets them home.

Better option than pradeep
