250+/300 and we will have them all out in no time! To much to ask for again?

That had me worried, I knew we’d lost some wickets but the thread opened up on the previous page and said 67-6!

And breathe…

164-5, Cook out for 85, 5 mins to tea!!

Moen in, Bairstow on 44 (76)

What is the point of the review? That was out in anyone’s eyes?

Just to prove that the umpire is a dick!! I don’t understand the ā€œUmpires callā€ rule, I guess it’s down to people not fully trusting hawkeye but, FFS, most of the ball was hitting the stumps then…

Bairstow dropped on 11 and surviving that call, he must have stepped in something this morning…

Then that inside edge! He is a cat!

Will take that position at close of play. Good knocks by Cook & Bairstow. Always tough 1st day at Lords then eases for days 2-4

Nurdle our way past 350 & make hay in the 2nd innings job done

After sky creaming all over Anderson and Broad last night and their great partnership, they have put curse on them today!

Hopefully that will do the trick!

Sri Lanka 169-3 - good start to the day!

175-4 even better… Here we go!

cloud cover kicking in!

Fast bowlers struggling with this pitch except Woakes, OK he’s medium pace but he’s got the best economy of all the bowlers

Broad had a great spell early on, but that was about it.

288 all out

England 10-0 lead by 138 runs.

England 82-3

James Vince seems to be this season’s Adam Lyth.

I never ever saw him as an England player, and was bemused by those pundits who said he was.
