Can feel a wicket before tea coming

 

[Furball]

Follow on saved with no wickets down #improvement

 

[GIMH]

England looking good.....SO FAR

 

[GIMH]

Played Strauss but a lot to do still

 

[hazsa19]

Played Strauss and Cooky! Now ton up please

 

[GIMH]

All looking rather easy. Bowling them out for 275 looking very good as things stand.

 

[Eds]

Shame that. Would have been nice for Strauss to get some serious runs in the bank.

 

[Uppercut]

Strauss still quite ****

 

[four_or_six]

Urgh. Good opening stand though... time for a Trott/Cook borefest.

 

[hazsa19]

Not good enough. Again we've gifted the tiring attack a wicket after doing all the hard work.

Ahh, another victim for the man who doesn't believe in jinxing.

Hmm, well, match begins now you think, won't be easy for new batsmen.

 

[Spikey]

on one hand, he got 61 runs. on the other, he got out to dilshan

 

[Scaly piscine]

England really need to simply try to bat today and all of tomorrow without worrying too much about run-rate.

Having said that it should be easier to keep the score ticking over with a left/right combination.

 

[Prince EWS]

Today, Tony Greig learnt that Randiv is ****.

Took your time, Tone.

 

[GIMH]

Good day for us. Of course, counting no chickens as we are only a wicket away from a collapse on recent form, but a well set Cook alongside Trott is something that always gives me confidence.

Innings win for us IMO.

good work, but really glad i couldnt watch it!

Reading the first part of the post I thought GIMH was anti-jinxing England.

But he has jinxed them now

 

[Lostman]

Still think we are only one wicket away from a collapse, problem is getting through either one of them. Both look set for a grind tomorrow.
Still think any lead up to ~100 should be manageable for SL in the 3rd innings.
