**Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

[Jacknife]

Tremmers again, good stuff from him first up.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Very, very clever bowling from the big man.

In highlights in years to come it'll just look an optimistic drive, but he'd softened him up with the short stuff beforehand.

Why they stopped again? My commentary feeds haven't updated

 

[GIMH]

Wicket. Awesome.

 

[Uppercut]

Tremlett's unplayable here. The change in length was just perfect.

Samaraweera got wrapped on the knuckles by a good length ball from Tremmers that climbed. Then had best part of five minutes' fannying about with the physio.

Can't believe OT hasn't been scheduled against India. Tremlett would be so tough to play there, and we need all the home advantage we can get against the Indians.

Also, I would love to see Bresnan come in for Broad when fit.

 

[keeper]

whoops

 

[Jacknife]

Poor effort from Trott. Never have I seen a batsman not want to be there, than him, didn't want any part of Tremmers. Good take from Prior as well.

 

[Spark]

What a terrible shot

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hope Perara's been picked for his bowling. Rank stuff from a #7.

A lot of Test #11s going around at current would consider that kind of shot well below them.

 

[keeper]

Perera obviously thinking he couldn't stay in anyway so might as well go out swinging. Remember England batsmen talking about a similar approach on a difficult Windies tour.

 

[Uppercut]

His batting isn't terrible but he scored about two more runs than can reasonably be expected of him in this situation.

 

[keeper]

Felt like ages between the nick and the catch...

 

[Burgey]

That is an absolute disgrace. Perera should never be let anywhere near a test team again.

Nearly spewed up dinner. What a ****ing insult to your team. Jeez I'd be cracking skulls were I a SL fan.

I'm embarrassed for Him

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nice little clip off his pads by Jayawardene jr.

& now a lovely drive on the up.

Proper batsman, this chap. If the top order showed his application SL wouldn't be in this hole now.

 

[keeper]

What was the word on Anderson's fitness? Is accurate this session but seems down on pace.

 

[vcs]

HAPW needs to hang around and see if he he can nudge them to around 200. Might just about give them something to bowl at, though you feel SL have lost this game already.

I saw an interview he did with Ian Ward earlier and Jimmy said he was stiff generally as he hadn't played for a while, but his side wasn't worrying him.
