    We'll struggle to defend 230. NZ managed something similar yesterday though and we've won from a few positions we shouldn't have so I'm keeping faith.

    Sri Lanka should have too much for England. England need to get a couple of early wickets and if they can get Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawardene cheaply then they've got a chance

    I think 300 at least was the kind of score we should have had in this kind of game.

    There's a lot of pressure on the bowlers now.

    Agree'd big big ask but if any team had the potential to do this, it's England!

    This is a slow pitch. 195 is the average first class score there. I think this is a competitive total and if we defend it like we have on occasions this world cup we could be okay.

    Shame we couldn't have gotten 10 or 15 more though because I think 240 was on the cards until we let ourselves down in the powerplay yet again.

    It's not a 300 pitch, but England are probably 15-20 runs short and will need to keep in tight in the field and take their chances

    As long as Tiote agrees. Wouldn't advise taking anything of his without asking! :)

    They are punishing everything, they look more confident than us, they actually like to play shots, our blowling is too wide, of course they are going to get 4's every over with bowling like that! Come on though, 2 wickets in an over (with 2 new batsman) and its game on again...
