SL 82 all out.

England win by an innings and 14 runs.

I still don't believe this:

Sri Lanka 400 all out (118.4 overs).

England 496 for 5 (155.0 overs) declared:

Cook 133
Trott 203
Bell 103

Sri Lanka 82 (24.4 overs):

Paranavitana c Strauss b Tremlett 0
Dilshan c and b Tremlett 10

Maharoof c Prior b Swann 0

At this rate England will soon be the best.

more duck than a chinese buffet. Is it a two match series? England can go second if they finish sl of next game. Its going to be a cracker agaisnt india.

Three tests and the next one at Lords on Friday. They'll win that one and bring on India. It will be a monumental series.

Finn in for the injured Anderson.

Very strange decision, maybe they’re just too scared to bat. I can see a 500+ coming up and then another disaster for them.

Cosimo · 3 Jun 2011 at 11:14

Well well, Strauss out for 4, 5-1.

Cosimo · 3 Jun 2011 at 12:02

I've just put this on again and 39-3. WTF have they been up to?

Cosimo · 3 Jun 2011 at 14:37

Bell 50, 100 added since the last wicket, 122-3.

Cosimo · 3 Jun 2011 at 16:46

Shame, just four short of a 100, 212-5.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 11:37

Prior gets his ton.

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

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

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 11:41

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

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 11:47

Oh dear Sawnny gone. 414-8.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 12:27

Great knock from Prior out for 126, 452-9.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 12:48

Lol not out, 468-9. We might make it to lunch.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 16:15

I hope England have woken up but It’s difficult on a hot afternoon like this. Has another cold drink.

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2011 at 18:03

Paranavitana out for 65, 215-1.

Cosimo · 5 Jun 2011 at 12:01

No sign of a wicket and Sri Lanka looking very comfortable. Maybe we’ll have some luck with the new ball. 278-1.

Cosimo · 5 Jun 2011 at 14:14

This is turning into another long afternoon.
