Listening on R4LW...think we are going to fall about 50 runs short of a decent target...unless there is a sudden surge in the run rate!

 

[Taybha]

Cook run out for 119. 232-6 1.1 overs to go .

 

[brightonmark1234]

bresnan you muppet and run out cook

 

[Taybha]

Innings closes 246-7

 

[brightonmark1234]

not enough runs

 

[Gully]

Innings closes 246-7

I think the assessment on the radio was about right, setting the Sri Lankans 300 to win would have been a fair target...England need to get into them from the off to stand any chance of winning this one.

Link anyone?

 

[brightonmark1234]

they will make it look so easy

 

[Taybha]

looks a bit short for sure , think Anderson may get a bit of swing but Sri Lanka look on top as it stands , one thing that is obvious to me so i presume to the england set up is the fact that Malinga looks world class when the batsmen play from the crease but seems to be put off easily if the batsmen advance at him , i guess when its coming at you at 90 mph the reflex is to back away but he is not unplayable by any means contrary to what the illustrious panel have implied.
