Excellent start for England bowling on a flat pitch!

 

[LlcoolJ]

Ball seems to be moving more. Very good bowling from Broad and Woakes.

 

[BensGrandad]

Hopefully finish up with 1st Innings lead of 150 +

 

[severnside gull]

Oh dear oh dear. Surely Compton's last chance has come and gone

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Oh dear oh dear. Surely Compton's last chance has come and gone

Just not good enough. Will be an opportunity for someone else.

Blimey - Pradeep on a hat-trick

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Oh dear oh dear. Surely Compton's last chance has come and gone

How bad is Cook's injury? If he can't play V Pakistan would they give Compton a reprieve?

Need to knuckle down are we effectively 4 down with Cook at the hospital

England 416 & 57/3 (16.0 ov)

Sri Lanka 288

England lead by 185 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[larus]

It feels like we've been carrying a couple of batsman for ages. At least Hales is making a better contribution now, but it feels that if Root/Cook aren't in the runs then we're under pressure.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

England lead by 222

 

[BensGrandad]

England lead by 237 with 6 wickets to go, hope Cook can come in with Hales if and when Finn goes and put the game out of their reach totally.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Any chance of play today - want to know when I can start listening to TMS again
