[Cricket] Sri Lanka v England, Galle, First Test ****Official Match thread****

[Change at Barnham]

20 overs to get 74 runs if they want to get them today.

Nothing silly chaps.

Sibley against spin

It begins...

As usual we make it exciting...

Two things will never change, sun rises in the east and sets in the west and England batsman prodding forward pointlessly against spin.

Crawley gone now, 12-2

I just wonder if we will ever have a decent opening partnership again.
These two seem pretty poor.

 

[The Wizard]

Root ran out, why did the umpire not look at the bowler blocking Root? Looked like a clear block to me?

14-3 and players getting out not even playing aggressive shots, just f**king go for it.

 

[maltaseagull]

Anyone fancy a Sri Lanka win?

This is pathetic
Bairstow seems to think it's 20-20!

Suicidal running twice!

Nothing silly chaps.

Madness at present...

31-3 this is agonising.

 

[Change at Barnham]

36 runs to win with 7 wickets remaining.
I'm glad we're not chasing too many more.

Let's hope its's not hissing down all day tomorrow.

 

[Willow]

I think I'll treat myself to a lie in tomorrow. We'll pick those runs off, surely?

Well listening to R5 they say it’s still in the balance ...not sure I agree with that...sure they picked off the same two who got out early in the first innings....we gave them Roots one...Bairstow will look to hit the winning run

 

[Eeyore]

Up with the lark. Actually the lark is still in bed. Eased home (thanks to SL missing a review). Not sure it will be the same on Thursday.

Meanwhile Australia India continues to be a quality series. One day left,India need 324 and Aussies 10 wickets to win the match and series.

Considering how depleted India are they've done brilliantly
