England are still ahead on the bookies’ odds! Might be time to put a cheeky flutter on Sri Lanka, if any of you are into that sort of thing...

Also worth pointing out that when India toured SL last year they made 600+ twice and 487.

I think we can safely say that England are less good at batting in subcontinental conditions than India. And possibly without the qualifier too.

Anyway it seems to be doing a bit, and Sri Lanka don’t have the most together line-up themselves. Finely poised?

Sam Curran. :wub:

Only reading the OBO, but goodness sounds like Curran is having some fun. Wish I was watching!

They’ve dropped him! :lol:

That drop from Pushpakumara and the subsequent consternation from the rest of the SL team. :lol:

Currant Bun! :wub:

Lower-order fightbacks seem to be the order of the day this Test...

Rashid's bowling is so incredibly frustrating.

Seems like we're going to go into the third innings behind.

That looks like the sum of things. Bring on Sam Curran to bowl some cutters?

Give the lad the new ball.

Well this is tits

Looks like Root is finally going to have to make some runs this tour.

TMS/Cricket Social - 'Will the current government last longer than the Sri Lankan innings'

England are being Englanded.

Right come on then, everyone around the bat for the last man.

And now the nightwatchman comes out to open. Maximum laughs.

I watched Jacob Rees-Mogg basically tell Theresa May that he was going to put in a vote of no confidence about her in the House of Commons on one work screen, I looked down to my iPad to see Leach walk out to open the batting.

World's gone bloody mad. I have a friend who works at Somerset who says Leach really rates his own batting so he'll want to prove a point here!

The point they mentioned on the cricket social was if he's have got out then play was done. He wasn't going to take a run and he can hold a bat so might get a few in the morning. One of England's more tactically astute decisions in recent times in my mind.
