England v Sri Lanka - 4th ODI - Trent Bridge

[Titanic]

Both teams are unchanged.

England won the toss - and inserted.

Sri Lanka 1-1 (1 overs)

Jimmy Anderson strikes early. Dilshan caught behind.

 

[Gritt23]

With rain around, this could be a very useful toss to have won.

 

[Taybha]

Good start , if Dilshan thought he had not hit that he has lost the feeling in his hands

 

[Titanic]

Bresnan gets Jayawardene caught at slip... 10-2 (3.2 overs)

 

[Titanic]

and now Chandimal caught in front by Anderson... 11-3 (4.1 overs)

 

[CHAPPERS]

11-3, Anderson again.

 

[seagullondon]

the problem for england is they are brilliant in these swinging conditions but when it comes to a good pitch or sub continent conditions we really do struggle

 

[Titanic]

Anderson is tearing them apart... Kandamby caught at slip...

20-4 (8.3 overs)

This isn't going to last long.

 

[Simster]

20/4 Jimmy again

 

[Taybha]

blimey !!!! good time to predict a score , 135

 

[Simster]

I'll plump for 107, thanks to a wagging tail.

 

[Titanic]

Sangakkara leading a bit of a fight back... 51-4 (15 overs)

 

[Taybha]

Sangakkara leading a bit of a fight back... 51-4 (15 overs)

good work 57-5

 

[Titanic]

Broad joins the party.... Randiv caught down the leg side... 57-5

 

[Titanic]

good work 57-5

 

[Titanic]

Sangakkara still piling on the runs... 81-5 (21 overs)

Jade has come on, an act of desperation by Captain Cook?

 

[keaton]

Surely Sangakkarra's losing them the match? his strike is only just over 50, he should be dropped

 

[CHAPPERS]

I reckon Tremlett might come in for Dernbach before long, though I think if Patel is fit enough then he adds something different.

 

[keaton]

Good captaincy by Cook here, trying to engineer a competive score to make a proper match of it by bowling Dernbach

 

[Titanic]

Sri Lanka 100-5 (26.4 overs)
