It's just occurred to me that this weekend all three of our major sporting teams are playing in competitive matches! I don't think that has happened very often!

50 for Prior 
Made up for him. Got a lot of stick following the crap Ashes tour where he wasn't the only one that played poorly.
When on form, he' still one of the best wicketkeeper batsmen in the World.

That turned out to be a good first day, for a f**king change. Another 200 won't go amiss
200 might be a stretch. Reckon we'll get to 500 though.

517-8
Broad with quick 47 and Plunkett going at run a ball 30.
I said there was plenty of batting still to come
Anderson just come in for Plunket and Root on 181
Great effort from the tail and we should be on around 550!
Amazing effort considering the score at this time yesterday!

575/9 Declared
We get a bowl at them with the new ball before Tea and hope that we can nip out a couple of cheap Wickets. Sangakara is the danger man!

Jordan wicket in his first over
Guy is going to be an England all rounder for the next 10 years. Class act if he can stay fit.

He was scoring quickly as well. Get shut of Sangakara before end of play
And then get Jayawardena quickly soon after

Well, looks like this one is petering out into a draw already.
1 wicket taken. No doubt Sri Lanka will bat all day tomorrow and get to a total close to ours before we then get another 300 and draw the match.
Pitch offering nothing to the bowlers apart from the first 30 overs really.
Don't know why they don't make pitches that will offer something to bowlers so might actually get a decent game.

After a game that looked like it would just peter out into a dull draw... if England can get Sri Lanka out early tomorrow morning and have a lead of even 100, would give them a great chance for victory.
Bat until about tea, get a lead of 350/400 and then give themselves a day and a bit to bowl Sri Lanka out on the final day.
