[Amjid Javed]

murali in now, he wont last long.

 

[Hash]

ah.....well you wouldn't get Sky Sports there then would you?

Lead right now 77. 1 wicket in hand.........Sri Lanka need a miracle.

 

[zMario]

Ah well, Murali can't bat, I think its gonna be 77 all out now

 

[Rob H]

Vandort needs to play strokes. But with his strike rate that looks unlikely

 

[zMario]

ah.....well you wouldn't get Sky Sports there then would you?

Lead right now 77. 1 wicket in hand.........Sri Lanka need a miracle.

The feed is from Sky Sports. I watched Eng v Australia - 2nd Test at Edgbaston during the rain delay. Very entertaining! I get all of Sky Sports including their ads, only problem is my feed is delayed, but probably since im in USA

 

[zMario]

Vandort needs to play strokes. But with his strike rate that looks unlikely

So why aren't u at the match?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Vandort gone good bowling from plunkett!

England need 78 runs to win and take 1 series lead.
