England v Sri Lanka/Pakistan.

[Durhamfootman]

if it rains any harder, England will lose

[Arthur Crabtree]

England will still do it.

Woakes would be useful in this scenario.

[Durhamfootman]

SL PP bowlers got the ball to do a lot. Balls that swung, balls that seamed both ways, balls that lifted, balls that stayed low and no many freebies. Hard work this batting business

[Durhamfootman]

SL still have the chucker to bring on yet, so that'll be interesting

White ball goes to sleep quickly.

[Durhamfootman]

Umpires waited until England were ahead of the rate and took the players off

They thought about taking them off a little earlier, but England were 1 run behind the par score, so they didn't

it was raining a little bit harder the second time and it got a bit worse shortly afterwards so it might just have been good umpiring

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sounds like dialogue from a John Ford western.

Rain, anyway.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ground completely covered.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Covers coming off. England well placed.

[Durhamfootman]

I see that they got back on and Livingstone and Billings completed a thoroughly unconvincing victory

series win too, of course

[Durhamfootman]

it might have been unconvincing, but the opposition are allowed to bowl well and England still found a way to get over the line. They could have easily imploded, but didn't.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Moeen in for Mr. Roy. Woakes in for Wood to keep the W quota healthy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Malan, 33 off 19 balls. Take that Tuffers and Vaughany.

93-0 off 10. Amazing start.

indeed

it was ludicrous listening to them dropping the no.1 T20 batsman in the world just to fit in Stokes at 3

Chameera 4-17
