    The wrong ‘un to the left hander is a deadly weapon. Livingstone can do it too.

    Buttler and Morgan have lifted England to at least 30 over par I reckon.

    Whilst losing Mills as a bowler is disappointing, gaining Billings as a fielder is no bad thing. Even if Roy did most of the work there.

    Sri Lanka nine down. I think we may win this. But then, I am a Saints fan...

    Mills has been poor. Godsend he went off really!

    Not really, he offers something different in his 90mph thunderbolts and his slower balls. Not good that he's injured.

    Utterly brilliant field placement from Morgan, to add to the fantastic bowling and imperious batting from Buttler especially.

    England needed a challenge and they got one today. It was important that England batted first at some point so they could learn to post a good score on a testing pitch. Buttler is in magnificent form which is obviously pleasing but getting Morgan time at the crease was important today. We're going to need him I suspect in the knock out stages so very pleased with his 40.

    Absolutely, we needed Morgan to get in amongst the runs. We could do with big knocks from Roy and Malan in the SA game too.

    On another note, how many other England players have got hundreds in all 3 formats?

    I thought Buttler was the first?
