Bat until tea tomorrow and set Sri Lanka 500 in 30 overs. That's a fair deal.

I'm torn between declaring overnight and setting a hard 370 or so and batting again tomorrow morning for half an hour to get a bit more frustration going for them.
Well the frustration would be having to suit up and get on the field for 30 mins, instead of happily sitting back in comfy chairs and watching the openers make hay.
An opener having to field for 30 mins before getting his kit on and going in to bat is probably a bit more irritated than one who has time to get prepared and go for it.
Awww mate, you should have declared!
Anyway, can G-Ball get his ton?
Solid 100.
Although I got a feeling its gonna be a draw!!
What loss? SL was never winning this.

Anyway..... with the wicket scuffed up a bit and some balls shooting along the deck, can ENG get ten wickets tomorrow?
No, they cant. they should had declared when the lead was 325 to 350.
Batted way too long !
Anderson and Broad are not the type of bowlers that will run through a side.
The other 2 pacers well...
Anderson and Broad surely can do it. They did it against NZ in no time last year. Anderson single handedly took apart Australia at Trent Bridge. They just won't on this pitch.No, they cant. they should had declared when the lead was 325 to 350.

Lords is not the home of cricket - it is the home of posh nancies who are most interested in prawn sandwiches and champagne.
The new home of cricket is Headingley! We at Headingley are interested in meat pies, and flasks of tea whilst we watch our beloved Yorkshire in the sleet.

"Sri Lanka have made an assured start, the sort of solid session that will have sapped England's hopes of taking 10 wickets. Whether there's enough room in the game to whip up a chase later in the day will depend on this partnership and, in particular, the next one, between Sanga and Mahela. Join Alex in half an hour to see whether this game will go giggedy-giggedy goo..."
How do they know that the next partnership is going to be between Sanga and Mahela?
I cant see SL going for a win would be tremendous if they tried but Mathews isn't that aggressive![]()
