England v Sri Lanka test series

[Off the bar]

First test of the summer kicking off in about half an hour, looking forward to this, I love having test match special on the radio in the studio. I've got tickets for a couple of days at lords in a couple of weeks.Think England will win the tests but not the 50 over games, not sure about the points system for the tour though, might add a bit of spice to otherwise meaningless games.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Quite tedious stuff so far, 28-0 after 15 overs, no real chance of a wicket so far for the visitors. The openers are seeing off the new ball with relative ease.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

2 wickets in 4 balls, Cook and Compton gone.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Root out now too, its a funny old game.

[Off the bar]

Kin hell I nip out for lunch and they lose 3 wickets!

[Off the bar]

83-5 ouch

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

If conditions remain the same I would imagine that wickets will continue to fall at a steady rate.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

England have advanced to 273-8 in the first session after lunch on day 2. Bairstow playing well 126no so far.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Sl 90-8

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

SL 91 All Out and put straight back in to bat.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nae updates from the end of the first test as I was a bit pre-occupied by something else! England win the toss and will bat first in the 2nd Test.

[Lancs Harp]

Sri Lankas approach to this game will be interesting after the mauling they got in the first test. Very much a team in transition. Looking at the conditions I'm a bit surprised England elected to bat first.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

England 64-2, great catch on the boundary for Compton's wicket, Cook still 5 short of 10000 runs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

England 200-3 at tea.

[Off the bar]

Root gone for 80 Eng 219-4

Root out for 80, 219-4

Sri Lanka now on to 440-7 and whacking the ball about a bit, quite entertaining!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

[Off the bar]

Decided to take the day off and take advantage of it being £20 on the gate today at Lords! Looking forward to a days drinking hope the Sri Lankans can make a good fist of it today.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Hopefully the weather clears up for you soon.
