Pavilionaire Well-known member Jul 7, 2003 31,185 Jun 20, 2014 #46 I'm happy I mentioned the former spinner now - Broad coming back and taking a wicket in the first over of his spell just like Swann used to do.

Titanic Super Moderator Helpful Moderator Jul 5, 2003 39,859 West Sussex Jun 20, 2014 Thread starter #57 Close of play, Day 1 - England 36-0, trailing by 221 runs with 10 wickets in hand. That has turned out to be a very good day for England, and captain Cook, including a hat-trick for Stuart Broad, and 5 for 64 for Liam Plunkett. Hopefully tomorrow he and Robson can push on and make big runs.

Very strange day, superb bowling but crap fielding and Sri Lanka could have been 170 all out. Cook very lucky to still be at the crease, he will now no doubt make a double ton!
