***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

[CartyDurham]

I’m behind and it’s not happened yet

I’ve seen it now. Joseph back in my good books but that was a horrendous shot by rathnayake

what a bonus wicket

injured chandimal returns

 

[mackembhoy]

Absolutely brainless that

 

[King Kane]

Wood going off injured then Root comes on and gets the wicket.

A cunning plan.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

If I was a captain, that would infuriate me.

 

[Hungry Llama]

Rooty you beauty

 

[ashley bach]

Root 1-1 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[CartyDurham]

Wood going off injured then Root comes on and gets the wicket.

A cunning plan.

He used a ball out of his back pocket as well

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

How often has that happened in tests? They've probably got Zaltsman on the case on TMS already.

 

[CartyDurham]

Rooty you beauty

You are a poet but did you know it ?

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayee]

6 down, but two fully-fledged batters in, Sri Lanka’s last hope this really

 

[CartyDurham]

Bit strange that wood incident. Didn’t look like anything went but it must have

probably time for a rest for him after this test anyway

could Jofra be an option to come in ?

Would imagine the plan would have been to bring Stone in for the second Test anyway, hope it’s nothing too serious for Wood

 

[King Kane]

Chandimal back out there, if him and Kamindu can survive until stumps Sri Lanka still have a fighting chance tomorrow.

 

[CartyDurham]

Pleased that there should be a bit of a game at least tomorrow

sets my weekend sport viewing up nicely

this wicket may have a few surprises for England in a chase so they don’t want to be chasing 250

anything below that should be comfortable

 

[ashley bach]

Mendis currently sharing Dons average of 99

 

[CartyDurham]

A swimming pool in the changing room broady

Olympic size

Burger and chips Nasser

we are definitely approaching a long day finish

 

[King Kane]

Typical English weather, gloomy for most of the day and then the sun comes out late in the day, they should start play a few hours later.

 

[Apex Predator]

That cunning constant ball change needs to be called out. Good to see Nasser finally spoke on it.
Happened against Windies as well.

 

[CartyDurham]

Crisp packets can never escape my clutches

looked like salt and vinegar flavour hula hoops

The ball does not go through the umpires ring equipment

it’s that simple , no conspiracy
