Match not over yet.  Stokes and Morgan were odd ball guys as England captains. Pope looks a little more traditional England captain. It will be interesting to see how England does after Stokes. This match will give a snapshot.

England's bowling attack is awful to be honest.Their batting needs to be bullied once or twice in a series then they will not wake up for rest of the series.

[putrevus]

This guy Viswha Fernado has been just awful.

[vvvslaxman]

Woakes bats at 7. That is a lot of tail.

If the Dukes is an issue just insist on an SG or Kookaburra. The west Indian Dukes balls don't seem to face the same issues.

Any half decent bowling attack and Eng would be pissing their pants. SL has got awful bowling. Even Mathews is way better than these bowlers.

Tulla gone. Fukk off

They are missing crawley, it seems.  He used to give quick starts.

Bucket flops again lol

This Asitha gets seam movement. He is a perfect trundler for these conditions. But on flat pitches he will be thrashed.

Lol Pope what a comical way to get out

Lung@ns are in with a chance

He is a nervous wreck for 30 minutes. Can't believe we let him score 196 runs on Indian tracks. Ofcourse our fielders were being generous

[nitinbwj]

They need to get Root and Brooks out asap.

Pope and Head are the 2 lucky bas*** against India.Always get chances against us 

[Frustrated]

Pitch still looks very good for batting.  SL are 100 runs short.   

[Lone Wolf]

Matthews and Ian Bell have questioned the ball change tactics of England.

Blatant cheaters 

[Frustrated]

Umpire's call going SL's way.  

[Sgattick10]

Another gone it seems reviewed 

 

Yeah Lawrance out
