England v Sri Lanka 3rd test

[MKFox]

well done Sri Lanka, the runs for those last 2 wickets have helped make a game of it!

 

[fcukcov]

231 All Out

bout 150 short on this wicket IMO.

bout 150 short on this wicket IMO.

About 80 more than they should have got though considering where they were at lunch

 

[Melton Fox]

I predict at close tonight we will be on 56

Great days cricket. Murali and Vaas batted really well and showed their batsmen how it should be done.
Set up for a good day today with Pietersen and Freddie to come. England need a big lead though i feel as Murali will be dangerous if we have to chase a biggish total.

Set up for a good day today with Pietersen and Freddie to come. .

How disappointing.

At least I will be able to get outside and enjoy the sun instead of being glued to the box watching Freddie and KP

 

[Brauny Blue]

Sri Lanka 231.
England 229 all out.

Looks like a tense finish for England in this one

 

[MKFox]

6-1

 

[Brauny Blue]

6-1

Good start by the bowlers but anything over 200 against Murali and England will panic.

 

[Melton Fox]

Just been to see the last 20 overs of Leics v Northants, Saw Mongia & Ackerman get their 50's.

Mildly entertaining

 

[Brauny Blue]

Sri Lanka 237 for 6.

Looks like England will need 300+ to win. I think we're fecked

Got a quick wicket this morning, too little too late, methinks.

 

[Hazzman]

48-0 Run Chase Going Well. Two days to do it, the English players should try and play almost going for a draw like.

Anyone reckon there will be tickets on the gate tomorrow?!?

 

[Han]

what total are they chasing?

 

[Han]

found my own answer, 325.

it'd be a bit difficult to play for the draw, having to bat for 2 whole days. plenty of time though

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

think we will lose

 

[Melton Fox]

England to win by 5 wkts

 

[fcukcov]

Nobody has ever got that many batting last at trent bridge in an international test, gonna have to be one hell of a slog.
