And they still declared after setting Australia a target of 538, and had time to take the first Aussie wicket, on day 3

What a gawp....

Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali is run out in bizarre circumstances, after mistakenly thinking the ball had reached the boundary on the third day of the second Test with Australia.

lazy ****ers, chit chatting away rather than focusing on whether it was a boundary or not.

Selfish of me but I'm gutted that Curran, Foakes and Burns look likely to be regulars for England. They were the spine of the Surrey side and will be sorely missed for large chunks of next season.

Do England have a limit to the amount of players they can pillage from each county side because add Pope and Roy to that list and Surrey suddenly look really weak

[Yozza]

Should be game over surely...

Sri Lanka

Second innings 190 - for 5 wickets...

Tea - Sri Lanka need 272 runs to win




7 down now...
