***Official*** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2014

[Flem274*]

Well seeing as we were blitzed by it in the winter they will be for the summer.

Haha I was going to snark on not measuring up, but that's not fair on Broad and Anderson.

The iSky window cuts off the scoreboard at the bottom a bit so I can't see the bowling speeds but I haven't needed it in this test because the commentators won't stop talking about them.

How will Root no what to do now without Gooch to mindlessly chant "daddy-hundreds".

Root riding his luck a bit today, guess getting sloppy after the ton is up is ok.

Sri Lanka going leg stump, round the wicket and short. Watch people to moan at the England batsmen for dropping the run rate.

 

[Adders]

**** it.......gutted, absolutely gutted

 

[Flem274*]

nicely executed plan there. gotta be honest, i didn't think Eranga would have the accuracy and intensity to pull it off but he did.

 

[Bahnz]

haha, you could see that coming.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good ball that to get the wicket. Shame he missed the ton but Prior has eased the pressure on himself for a while with that knock.

 

[Howe_zat]

Been wrong before

 

[Howe_zat]

Still, a partnership of 171 that basically sets up the game in our favour. 450 looks on.

i love that this fat little old man is the second best spinner in the world.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Comedy fielding there.

Said that the 3 number 8's could play their natural game and Jordan is happy to play shots so far.

 

[Adders]

We'll I'll be buggered........400 up for the first time in 14 tests!!

 

[Pothas]

Yay, 400.

Enjoying Jordan here.

Too early, I think. Once the score is past 425, trying to slog it away from SL is ok.

England's tail is good enough to get them to 500.

 

[Bahnz]

Ugh, that is way too easy.

 

[Flem274*]

England being bounced out by the little Sri Lankans is great, even if it's a bit late.

 

[Pothas]

Jordan has already played the Broad innings.

 

[Adders]

Is Stuart Broad wearing Carberry's helmet??
