Massive drop on Ronchi, he's blowing them away here.
Crosby Nick never fails.
A draw.. does that suit England??
If we don't cough up a bonus point, I'll be happy.
Tough with no Matthews. Never know though. Slinger is back for first time in 2 years.
This has been quite an odd innings all in all.
How may do we need to avoid the follow on?
300.
Ha! Bit of an old skool containing performance from SL with none of the quality needed to knock the batsman over.If the skipper turns up we'll get over the line. Otherwise, the expectation for the tournament is: avoid wooden spoon.
Just need our bowlers to go the job, think the batsman let themselves down a bit, other than Amla of course.
I expect your bowlers will get the job done, but it's scorching today in south London. SL are usually packed off before June when we visit so it's as close to familiar conditions as we'll ever get to see in England.
So much for that. Need a wicket otherwise this one is done done.
Morkel gets Dickwella.
1/3 of the way there, 1/5 of the overs gone, 1/5 of the wickets gone. This is Sri Lanka's to lose.
Half-hearted effort from you, mate. We all know Chandimal will flatter to deceive, use up loads of balls, and get out leaving SL too much to do. Baie geluk suid-afrika!
