[Cricket] Sri Lanka vs England 2nd ODI Dambulla

[jakarta]

Thought I would start a thread on this game.

Listening to Talksport commentary, not TMS but not too bad.

Root & Morgan going well, but Root has been dropped three times!

Currently 121-2, Root 66, Morgan 23

 

[jakarta]

Root now has England record for ODI runs without a dismissal at 304 runs...

132-2

I thought Malinga, the slinga, had retired. Great in his heyday. How's he doing?

Radar has been a bit awry, Perera has been better.

EDIT Root out for 71, 140-3.

Just in case you are interested, England are deciding to have a proper wobble (Morgan and Ali out off successive balls) when they should have been pushing on...

Currently 222-6 (one for Richie Benaud fans there).

He has taken 5 wickets.

9-0-41-5 impressive bowling. Inept batting. 254-9 (47 overs)

 

[jakarta]

278-9 innings closed. At least 30 runs short?

Just back from Homebase with a new water butt (yes my Rock and Roll lifestyle), it looks like a recovery underway, required run rate is only 6 an over, still doable. 116-5

Rain / storm stopped play - that'll be it for the day. Win for England.

Had the nightmare scenario of having to listen either to Talkshite or The Charles Dagnall Show on BBC, it's going to be a long winter.
