not been able to figure out da pitch,some balls bowled at around 85 mph didnt bounce much & some really took off & the length was pretty much similar ...

[Deewana Mastana]

[Deewana Mastana]

And another LBW gone down

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dilshan can't believe whats going on!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

469/9

 

[SameerP]

Tremlett and Finn are so tall

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England have kicked on really well today! Scoring at a brisk rate, making sure they pile up enough runs to make a game of this and their bowlers got something to bowl at!

Positivity has been the impressive thing about them so far!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tremlett and Finn are so tall

6'5 and 6'6 respectively!

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

477/9

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Streaky 4 by Finn

Deliberate lol!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a much better shot!

 

[jheenga]

481/9 & pathetic over rate by sl's

 

[BaaliSoda]

Finney is playing some good cricketing shots

Meanwhile, Lankan attack looks tired n clueless

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cracking shot that by Finn

Consecutive 4's!

 

[jheenga]

486 & lunch .... a eng win here ?

 

[SameerP]

6'5 and 6'6 respectively!

Commentators said both are 6'7 and they both look taller than 6'6

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Outtt

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

486 all out!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Commentators said both are 6'7 and they both look taller than 6'6

lol is it?! I missed that bit then!

 

[shahidafridi123]

I just came back and saw that Prior got a century and Broad got a half-century!

 

[Ryankhan]

very sad to see srilanka, struggling so much with their bowlers. Im surprised to see no KULSEKRA, NO Angelow Matthews and no Thushara, atleast these 3 are mch betters then the one currently playing.... can anyone tell me, how pooor was SRL fielding? how many catches they dropped cuz i didnt watch the match...

Thushara and Mathews are out with injuries and I think Kulasekara was not considered as test quality bowler by SL selectors.

There were too many chances (difficult to count) missed out by SL fielders today (Mostly at slip cordon)

I don't understand why Kulasekara isn't considered one, looking at the averages in first class for the fast bowlers they're currently playing they're over thirty in bowling averages

Kulasekara is a successful ODI bowler and has a first class bowling average of around 22.

 

[jheenga]

below par over from tremlett barring the last ball .....

 

[JibranAnsari]

hope srilanka scores 600, nothing wrong with the pitch.

 

[jheenga]

a dilly hundred on cards ...... lol,got a rap on knuckles !!!

 

[jheenga]

30/0 in 11 overs ....

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Dilshan!

 

[jheenga]

41/0 ... boring !!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

If Lanka bat well they could easily match England's score. England dropping sitters doesn't help their cause.

 

[Fireworks11]

Pitch is very flat now.

 

[jheenga]

72/0 & about 45 overs left in day .If eng dont get 4 wickets today then da match would end up in a tame draw .

 

[jheenga]

good run rate btw ... around 4 .
88/0 in 22.3
