Englands Summer of Cricket v Sri Lanka & Pakistan

[Buzzo]

If batsmen don't sharpen up their technique and start applying themselves, I fear you might be close to being right. Although 3 completed innings in a day is a tall order

Sri Lanka's batmen look under-prepared for this. I think it's a sign of test crickets lowered importance for them.

I was forgetting it was day 2 yesterday.

15 wickets in a day though.

Sri Lanka were hopeless today.

[Alex]

Lovely day for it at Lords

27-0 England Batting first. Looks like it could be a high scorer.

[Chazza]

More quality from Compton today.

[Chazza]

Bairstow

First ton at Lords.

[Boogs]

He was dropped at 11
Was listening on the wireless and the comment at the time was they could live to regret that drop as it should have been an easy take

[RichC]

Compton gone again, made 19 this time. Fancy that's him done at test level certainly for a while

[RichC]

Root bowled for 4. Ball kept very low there

[Alex]

Rain today, seems set in too. So could be a wash out

[Pedenj]

Superb finish in the One Dayer last night.

Massive shot from Plunkett and a great recovery led by Woakes and Buttler.

[CJ]

Watched the last 5 overs. Looked like Sri Lanka win all the way. Quite a hit though. Shame for the bowler. One bad ball in that over.

[Pedenj]

Compton to take a break from cricket apparently.

Hasn't performed since coming back in the fold.

sky getting rid of gower and botham

[CJ]

Whaaat

[Alex]

They will end up at BT. They have the Australia Test matches now. Including the Ashes down under I think.
