[Cricket] Sri Lanka vs England - Third Test

[studio150]

What's going on, where's the rush to get the rain covers on.

It's almost like the conditions you normally associate with Sri Lanka, hot, dry and a turning pitch.

 

[studio150]

222/6

 

[Titanic]

Stokes steaming in and gets Dickwella caught down the leg side, tickles a rising short ball to Foakes (who is still wringing his fingers after an earlier stinger)... 222-6

 

[Beach Hut]

222/6 another one

 

[Titanic]

Amazing scenes - 7 down - and all catches

Catch for Stokes at slip this time, and a 4th wicket for Rashid

173 for 1..... and now 222-7

 

[studio150]

39/5 since tea, almost batting like Sussex

 

[Taybha]

Stokes catch shouldn't of counted , wearing two hats .

 

[Titanic]

Stoke strikes again... and another catch

222-8

Wardy was chuntering before tea about 336 being way under par

 

[MJsGhost]

Double Nelson has well and truly struck! Shep was obviously not standing on one leg (may he rest in peace!)

Edit:
Interesting fact seen by the missus as she sought further explanation of the whole ‘Nelson’ superstition:
The New Zealand cricket team Nelson played first-class cricket from 1874 to 1891. In both their first and last first-class innings they were dismissed for 111.

 

[Titanic]

Suicidal run out there

Never run on a misfield

224-9

 

[studio150]

Miles out, the collapse is almost complete

 

[pasty]

Maybe slow down now? Don't want to bat towards the end of days play

 

[Beach Hut]

Batting second is a tall order, we will need a 300 plus lead.

Reviewed LBW 10th wicket - not out

 

[Titanic]

LBW... given... reviewed... seemed to hit the glove... not out.

 

[jakarta]

What did England have for Tea?

173-1 to 233-9!

 

[Titanic]

Another LBW given.... looked like it might have pitched outside...

 

[Titanic]

Sri Lanka 240 all out

Rashid 5-49 and a direct hit run out

3 wickets for Stokes, 4 catches for Jennings and 3 for Foakes

England lead by 96 on first innings.

This session: 14.5 overs, 57 runs, 8 wickets

 

[Beach Hut]

AO 240, shocking collapse

 

[jakarta]

AO 240, Sussex Like collapse

The correct Cricketing Term I believe....

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Another LBW given.... looked like it might have pitched outside...

Surprised the time it took for the finger to go up. Absolutely plumb
