Gawd Bairstow better get his runs in this over.

So Hales and Bairstow have contributed 183 out of a total of 233

Rather embarrassing performance from the other batsmen

Well played Bairstow, he must be thrilled to get his century at Headingly.

239 - 8 has got to be below par, but it's only as good as their reply, looks about an "English" pitch as you can get.
Anderson forafivefor to add to his 50* he's gonna get when he bats!!

Once again i will ask you, and i guess once again you will chose not to reply because it involves a proper reply rather than slating, moaning or generally wanting the world to end.

WHO WOULD BE YOUR TOP 5 ??? You have slated ours and as two have done very well indeed i can only assume you mean getting rid of those clowns Cook and Root who have contributed so little for years.

Come on, answer the question. Rather than constantly bemoaning the selections tell us your top 5 please.

Over several pints too many, when England last had a problem getting a reliable No3 in, my mate suggested we send in a No.3 watchman so No3 would effectively go in at No4.

His argument was you would send in a nightie to protect a proper batsman...so why not send one in at 11.50 to take the shine off the ball a bit more, and he might hang around a bit in any case...

Of all the daft, senseless, pointless, futile and pathetic suggestions I've ever read about cricket.....could be the one that works!! Can't see England doing it, sadly. Cook out first, Finn strides to the wicket.....

Lancashire might have to though, although to be fair we are sending in the tail enders 1 - 6 anyway.

Congrats to Bairstow

Must be thrill to score a Test match ton on your own ground

Only following on Cricinfo as at work so hopefully the cloud cover will stay all day

270 would be ok but its more likely that we'll only score 250 now

Given that the weathers not that brilliant I'm hoping we can put some pressure on our opponents batsmen.

Bairstow out.........140

Fin stumped

298 all out

I'd hope our bowlers can bowl their batsmen out for less than that.......

Sri Lanka 12-2. I wonder if they will find someone to come their rescue in their line-up?

Sri Lanka are really an awful team, gonna be a very long tour for them.

3 down now. Boycott crowing on TMS that they may not avoid the follow-on!

Sri lanka are so shit that I may not get to see any cricket on Sunday.
Got tickets for a fiver.
Was tempted to go durham as well next week but not worth the risk especially with the ticket being more expensive than Headingley.

Sri lanka are such an awful team essentially only have 2 batsman massive tail.

This isn't the start of one of your foul mouthed rants like in the World Cup is it ?

Personally I think England have bowled beautifully

Just got in and and it looks like Jimmy is in the middle of one of those spells

Shows how well Bairstow and Hales played yesterday in similar conditions

no the forum safe from that yet
England are bowling really well but this series will probably be the most one sided test series or whole tour ever.

Seeing Sri lanka batting really hard to see them scoring more than 200 runs in any Test match or scoring more than 250 in the ODI or 140 in the T20s.

Sri lanka batting is really awful right now only Matthews can actually bat.

would have brought day 4 tickets to Durham Test match but the price not worth the risk of getting the ticket on advance bookings.
Durham tickets are 25 pounds on day 4 and 50 pounds on day 1-3.

Statically Sri lanka must also be the worse batting and bowling line up ever.
With only chandimal and Mathews averaging above 45.

Bowling attack is decent but even then Pradeep and Eranga average high 30s and above.
Bhaveshgor
20-05-2016
Actually quite embarrassing for sri lanka that the market and people genuinely thought they won't make the follow on target 2 hours ago.

England are surely going to be the number test ranked nation within a year, probably after the ashes series next year you would have thought, they look superb under Bayliss.
