I've never been much of a fan of him at Test level either but to be fair to him he's done well this Series. I just can't see him and Stokes regularly playing in the same side when both are fit.
thing is finn has been pretty disappointing so unless we bring in someone like ball or footitt as 3rd seamer we are waiting for wood to get fit again |

A good day to relax off and listen to TMS. Is there a better commentary partnership than Boycott and Aggers? The real odd couple.
I am in the perverse position of wanting Sri Lanka to have a good innings to make a game of it. |

best spell of the series for finn and the 5th wicket taken by england this morning, couldn't really have hoped for a better session
new ball will be due not long after lunch so hopefully can mop up the tail quick |

good bowling performance for england to bowl sri lanka out for under 300 after being 162-1 overnight
lead of 128 so hopefully bat for around 3 sessions and get sri lanka in again around tea tomorrow |

Watching so many things and lots of channel hopping, I didn't realise that Cook had gone to hospital after being struck on the knee whilst fielding:
That wicket is also going to lead to an early tea, after which England will get started with their second innings. Word is that Alastair Cook has still not returned from hospital after going for an X-ray on his bruised knee - so will that mean Nick Compton opening the batting? http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-...ch/913617.html |

Not a great game for Joe Root. Two poor dismissals but shows even the best of them can have an off game
