I'd love to see KP dropped. He is an arrogant tool and needs to learn to value his place properly. I'm sure Bopara could do a nice job as a short term replacement.

Bopara's not scored above 20, i think, since the lions game where he lost out to Morgan .. might not be the best call. Although at least he can contribute with the ball a bit.

It's easy to forget just how good a player Prior is, superb counter-attacking innings. Morgan also looked good.

Hoping to bat until lunch tomorrow morning and we should be in a strong position despite this mornings wobble, should set it up nicely for when i go on Sunday

No doubt prior is a class test keeper batsman

We'r lucky to have one as good as him tbh.

Sri Lanka needs a wicket then needs to just rip through the tail. This is where Malinga's yorkers would have come in very handy.

England's economy was little over 3 not more than 100 runs ago. Now it's 4.11

Prior gets his ton.

It has moved on, 64 from 7 overs. 403-6.

This is surely a terrible effort from SL. Never mind their depleted bowling attack! The quality of the england bowlers is such that all these bad balls are going to go to the boundary.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 11:41

Just as it was moving along Broad is out for 54. 410-7.

What a ball for Swann first up! oh dear..

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 11:47

Oh dear Sawnny gone. 414-8.

Is it just me, or does Fernando look like a bad guy from an 80s action film?

There's a bollywood film called sholay which came out in the 60s.

He looks like the villain from this film:

EDIT: If not, him and several other Sri Lankan players (Matthews, Perera, Dilshan) look like Asian chavs/gang members
