It's only Sri Lanka ........ 182 for 8 at the moment when it was 42 for 5 earlier ~ hardly showing the killer instinct needed are we. ::)

Sri Lanka 188 all out.
England batting are 40 for 1 (Cook out for a duck)
Play stopped for bad light 10 overs short of a full day.

Full of confidence tomorrow I reckon 135 all out and red faces all round… whistle:

I fear you may be right. tunble:

After Lunch on the second day ~ Rain has stopped play for the day~ we are still two runs short of the Sri Lankan total and we have lost all but one of our main batsmen...... Only two more days of rain can ensure this match reaches the fifth day. ::)

We've lost another wicket .... just under an hour to go (depending on the light) and three wickets left ... Can we hang on? Do we care?

It's pissing down here but I'm not sure we can spare it - not for the cricket anyway... noooo:
-
Another wicket down ~ Bell this time ... the last of the batsmen.... we now depend on the bowlers keeping it going to close of play.

Sidebottom and Hoggard are at the crease .... all to play for.
-
The light is going and S & H are still there.
There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --
Ten to make and the match to win --
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"
-
Arrgh! Sidebottom is OUT ~ commentators are agreed he wuz robbed by a bad umpiring decision.
Hoggard needs a runner 'cos he is injured.
Panesar takes guard.

10 overs left ~ one wicket in hand and 90 needed to win.

Perhaps we do it on purpose just to show the world what good losers we are.

We would seem to be heading for a draw. noooo:

What a joke ~ this has to be a draw now.

Third and thankfully final Test in Sri Lanka latest at close of play on day four out of five:
Sri Lanka 499-8dec; England 81 & 2-0
ALL OUT FOR 81?
FFS!
In future I think all references to English Cricket should be made in the Comedy Room. evil:

I agree...
I heard it first thing this morning when they'd only thrown a couple of wickets away... didn't look good then... noooo:
Did the two teams bat on different wickets perchance? rubschin:

Different planets I think.

Ravinder Singh Bopara
Mudhsuden Singh Panesar
Owais Alam Shah
PLUS
Two South Africans (Prior & Pieterson)
Hardly an "English" team at all ~ perhaps that's the reason tho' I thought the first three above might have been in there to make sure we played the same as the Sri Lankans.
-
0840: More than that, the covers are coming off. We're going to get more play here, you know. England are so bad they can't even get a match abandoned properly any more.
