England getting bundled out for 35

If Sri Lanka are 66/6 it doesn't bode that well for England. Need another top innings from Root even if they only need 100-150.

I'm really not sure how well England have bowled because Sri Lanka's batting has been pretty poor. Really lacking patience. Some very good catching from Crawley and Anderson took a belter.

Agreed Sri Lanka too Gun Ho here: if England can nibble these last four out they are in with a real chance if they bat with patience.

Root doing the business with the ball too.

 

[Dutch]

Has to be gettable this! yes it will be a challenge with the spinning ball but it is doable. England are imo a better batting side than Sri Lanka although they of course have the edge with the ball on home conditions.

One or two decent partnerships. I think Sri Lanka have blown this with some sloppy batting.

Aye, ere we go! One down!

About a quarter of the way there!

oh Johnny! Making a T20 of it!

England doing it the right way. There's no point blocking and waiting for a bad ball. Target's not too big - so one 50-75 run partnership ought to dent SL's hope of a win. Attack and win should be the motto.

Just waiting for the :"Again Root fails to convert a score into a double century" comments......

He has come a long way since the South Africa series last year. I don't see a point in people bringing those sort of comments now. A double hundred in the last match and a 186-run knock sets things up beautifully for the India series.

 

[Dutch]

Time for England to make the easy going look incredibly hard!

 

[Velocity]

Game wide open now. Think this might be a tight contest.

 

[Dutch]

Yep pressure back on England.
