SL win toss and bat.

[SydneyBridge]

Crawley and duckett opening so chance for a few runs from them. T20 world cup after this little tour

[Smollet]

Gower wins the bet

[SydneyBridge]

They could not find a similar outfit to fit Steve Harmison

[Smollet]

What a jolly uplifting anthem the SL one is.

It just goes on and on, and on and on..........

Working plans changed today, so was able to head back home to WFH, so will have this on in the background

[Smollet]

124/4 after a good start

I wonder how our players will cope with this longer form of the game after the Ashes? Can they manage to bat for a whole 50 overs?

[Smollet]

Rashid having a good day and breaks the partnership to get his third wicket. 213/5 off 43.

[UTH]

Not a good last over!

[zetec]

Hope that last over doesn't come back to haunt us.

[SydneyBridge]

Not such a good start but Root in now so all good

[Magikarp]

Crawley. John 11:35

[Smollet]

Good partnership building here
113/1 off 26

[thegreenhell]

Duckett shows he knows how to build a steady opening Test innings, just in the wrong format of the game.

[Smollet]

Now’s the time for a captain’s innings from Brook

[type-r]

Just switched it on. Joe Root is out. Will switch it back off.
