Second Test. England v Sri Lanka at Riverside. 27/5/16.

[yuppie]

The English bowling attack does not seem so dominant when conditions are not suiting them at present. It does seem cook is resting the opening bowlers, giving the others more of an opportunity to get some overs in.

[Aidan11]

Wonder if anyone has took advantage of only having to pay a tenner to see the last session.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I've not had the benefit of seeing what the ball is doing. But I'll go, in the extra half hour at the end of play.

Looks like I'll be nearest.

[yuppie]

Looks like it could be over this evening.

[Aidan11]

Here comes Root.

He'll take a wicket.

[captaincolly]

If these two can survive until the close then there might be a decent crowd in tomorrow after all.

I reckon Harker is on the edge of his seat hoping we don't take another wicket tonight.

SL reach 300.

[Aidan11]

SL's day. They have scored almost as many in this innings as they have in the previous three combined.

[yuppie]

Great day for SL, just to late.

England will be happy for the bowlers to get a work out.

[KipperJohn]

Very good effort from Sri Lanka when most expected them to be rolled over again. At the very least it will give the team a bit more confidence.

[hopeforthebest]

Determined batting with a fair degree of skill in ideal conditions for batting.

[Aidan11]

If SL get another 150 Cook might get his 10,000th run tomorrow.

[captaincolly]

Think the club may have shot themselves in the foot ( again) £25 tickets tomorrow and no student deals. Not a bad price really but it could be done and dusted quickly. Should be about 15 quid imo.
