England Test captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the rest of the summer after tearing his left hamstring while playing in The Hundred.

That’s going to make @Lets-B-Drinking like the :100: even more…

It should be towed out into the North sea and nuked!

Sri Lanka batting. 72-5.

Were 6-3 to Woakes and Atkinson. Then 40-4 when Wood got one to lift off a length, caught off gloves. Bashir has now got one to roll along the ground for an LBW.

Old Trafford is half empty and the pitch has done this. And they wonder why they aren’t getting an Ashes Test next time.

119-7 35.2 overs

Fuck that’s 34 runs an over…we’re being slautered. :open_mouth: :lou_facepalm_2:

So is your English :slight_smile:

I thought I got the edit in before anybody saw I was wrong :slight_smile:

Sri Lanka are 176 for 8

Sri Lanka are 226 for 9

You got there before I could edit it. :rofl:

Bad Light - England trail Sri Lanka by 214 runs with 10 wickets remaining

It’s Manchester
It’s raining
Maybe some play after lunch says forecast

should not hold test matches north of London due to the weather.

Unfortunately, its raining here and delaying the start of the 4 day game v Essex.

I’ll be opening my Bookshop take away in my front room in 15 minutes.
