One for the selectors to get right or else the mistake would bite them on the b*m. Which it has done today. I think SL will get around 300.

Oh theres a bit of luck, thought the drive would beat Plunkitt but not this time.

Very odd knock from Angelo matthews here, guessing he has no faith on the other sri lankan batsman.

sri lanka finish on 286, not a bad score considering the three early wickets

would think england have enough batting to chase it down

You wanted England to go with one less batsmen so I expect more than 'would think'.

i just think moeen should be good enough to bat at #6 and a 7/8/9/10 of woakes, rashid, willey and plunkett doesn't look that bad

i reckon with bairstow being in such good form they just wanted to get him into the side

shows how much england are rated in white ball cricket now that bookies have england chasing 287 at the odds of 1.25.

14-16 months ago england would be priced about 1.8-2.00 for a similar chase.

for interest England would have be around 1.4-1.5 to chase 300 in this game.
Bookies feel anything less than 325 England would be favourites in this game.
Quite remarkable really since what 15 months ago England never successfully chased 310+ total.

Edit was wrong England chased 308 against pakistan in 2000.

Wonder if Mimik still wants the extra bowler and kind of a long tail now.

Root gone now England 17/3 and a flip in the market.
Sri lanka 1.53 now to win.

Should be but he isn't. Not good enough with bat or ball.

Imagine the thought of Ali, Woakes, Willey, Rashid, plunkett and Finn chasing 287 from this position would be carnage.
would also be difficult for england to set a total if the openers fall early in the first innings.
Bhaveshgor

Bloody hell have england somehow taken a time machine and batting like they would do 14 months ago.
Bhaveshgor
21-06-2016
wow what a dopey shot from Morgan.

Time for Ali, Woakes, Rashid, Willey and plunkett to show why they should be promoted one spot higher up the order.

Well, Ali didn't. England 103 for 6 after 23 overs.

yes

because you dont pick the balance of your side based on the assumption you will lose your top three before the end of the 6th over

had to pop out for an hour and only just caught back up with live play

what a catch to get buttler out, and probably win the game for sri lanka

cracking innings from buttler, but probably needed to be there til the end

Hmmm - Willey out to what looks like a no-ball.

Excellent fightback from England

Woakes showing why they had all that faith in him

Plunkett needs to hit the last ball for 6 to get a tie
