England v Sri Lanka match thread

Good start by Bell.
Was going to say "come on Strauss, hit the flipping ball" but he's gone now.
Trott and Bell to put Sri Lanka to the sword.

 

Oh well, so much for that, with Morgan the walking wicket in next it's all down to Bopara and Trott. Big mistake dropping Collingwood.

 

30 overs gone England 112/3.
Double that and it's looking like they'll reach 225 but with wickets in hand I hope that they can reach 250 which should prove too much for Sri Lanka.

 

Eoin Joseph Gerard "The Walking Wicket" Morgan doing his level best to get Sri Lanka back into the game by offering three easy catches.

 

33 overs Sri Lanka 179-0.
I'm going to stick my neck out and predict a Sri Lanka victory.

 

Looks like we came a very distant 2nd
