[Amjid Javed]

Flintoff gone tries to pull mahroof and gives malinga an easy catch!

133/5 and trouble...

 

[12thMan]

Flintoff out
133-5

 

[Rob H]

Collingwood out plumb lbw to Fernando. Oh no!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Colly gone Lbw...

and the fat lady is clearing her throat...

 

[evertonfan]

Yes England are bang on form again after that blip in the CB Series. Thank the heavens for that...

 

[Amjid Javed]

This is difference between Real contenders and also Rans. The real top sides have ability to take wickets in middle overs and dont let game Drift!

 

[Amjid Javed]

A run out chance and and dilshan misses stumps from a yard lol!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Chance for Bopara to make himself a hero?

 

[Phuzz]

England collapsing. Pietersen never goes on and gets those big scores. I think Collingwood was England's last hope.

 

[12thMan]

134-6 after 34 overs - need 102 from 96 balls @ 6.2

 

[desidudecool]

what a fight back by the lankans.gotta give it to them

 

[Taurus]

I have to say after seeing Sri Lanka today that, whilst they're miles ahead of the rest, they're just going to be there to make up the numbers against Australia (unfortunately).

Much like the last WC, it's gonna be a walk in the park for the enemy. No-one else plays as aggressive and perfect a ODI game as them.

 

[12thMan]

Eng 138-6 after 35 overs. need 98 from 90 balls @ 6.5

 

[12thMan]

[siddharth]

Runrate is not a problem ,wickets???

 

[Salman]

[Zechariah]

Too bad Flintoff got out and so did Collingwood, England are only 2nd team to come close to Sri Lanka other than SA.

Bopara seems a fine player should bat higher up in the batting order , exciting prospect !

 

[Rob H]

Wowie that was close to being caught. Lucky it was in the gap.
