I see that, as expected, Holland has now joined Leics permanently. That should free up some squad funds for another player: a proven County seam bowler, a decent County batter or an overseas top order batter instead of Abbas next year. I don't mind any of those options, but I do hope that we don't let Currie leave as well, he deserves a further chance in our 1st XI.

 

Pleased for Fletcha. Feels this this season has been more of a struggle for him compared to last year - which is understandable - so he did need an innings like this.

 

Rooooooooooot. Now tied on 33 with Cook for Most Test centuries for England.

 

Gloucs are presumably going to be in trouble, having their match abandoned due to the pitch.

 

Might be my imagination but he has made runs when needed. I.e. being 5th or 6th out when runs were needed.

 

Brilliant from Daws (and resilient from Mo too!)

 

A masterclass of how to bat with a last man from Daws....Top ton...

 

England out for 427

 

A majestic maiden first-class century for Gus Atkinson, who seems to be becoming a reincarnation of Ian Botham at his very best.

 

H 386 all out

 

Sri Lanka 32-2 at lunch, Ollie Stone getting both openers to drag on.
