World T20 Champs Super 8s & KOs, Feb 21-March 8

[mikesiva]

Was dropped as captain before the tournament due to 'form'

I see.

But he's still in the squad, so his form can't be too bad.

Bethell out. Theekshana strikes.

[andy]

Bethell goes! That is a horror shot from him!!! Theekshanas first ball didn't have a look horror shot!!! That is garbage!

[andy]

If the England think tank had half a brain they would be saying we don't need a huge score we just need 'A score'.....it's not a long Sri Lanka batting line up Wellallage carded at number 7 is at least batting one place too high....just get a score and go from there the approach so far especially from bethell has been ridiculous

[meninblue]

England 37/2 in 6 overs.

SL have the better of the power play.

[bigfluffylemon]

This is hideously bad. Banton run out taking on the fielder.

[andy]

Excellent over from chameera has lead to a suicidal run out of banton

[andy]

49-3 after 8 SL have been excellent with ball in hand so far England going nowhere...on the plus side Salt is still in he needs to bat most of the innings now

[meninblue]

30 down. Wonderful direct hit by Dasun Shanaka to run out Tom. No meaningful partnership at all thus far.

[andy]

Love watching chameera bowl real shame he can't stay fit for the longer formats his speed really is a point of difference for SL

[mikesiva]

Curran at six.

[mikesiva]

Salt gets his half century!

[Durhamfootman]

Really need Salt to go big here buttler is in the worst form of his life and he's now out lbw to Wellallage! Need a big innings from salt

ahead of the game, Buttler said he wasn't going to change a thing in the way he's playing atm

with scores of 3 against Scotland, 3 against Italy and now 7 today perhaps he should, because he's a better player than that. I'm not changing a thing sounds incredibly McCullum to me. Sooner England get rid of him, the better

[Durhamfootman]

lest we forget, all this focus on power hitting and teeing off on SL pitches is what got Australia knocked out.

[mikesiva]

Curran at six.

Chameera gets him for 11.

[Durhamfootman]

England really up against it here
