England Vs SL white ball series

[andy]

Buttlers in at number 5...feels one place to high for me especially coming in, in the 23rd over...

50 for Brook!

No sign of SL 6th bowler liyanage yet...surprising given how expensive chameera and Fernando have been

[Arthur Crabtree]

50 for Brook!

Most of his career he should have batted at four as he was the matchwinner. Maybe now he's in decline he should be lower. But batting below Jacks doesn't seem right.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Brook goes. Could do with JB batting through.

34 overs in, and no sixes.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hmm. Buttler goes. Lower order needs to dig in. Jacks maybe a place too high at six.

[Arthur Crabtree]

It's all going wrong.

[andy]

I wouldn't say that, it's an extremely tough pitch to bat on...turning keeping low difficult to bat on I actually think it's a really good score

[andy]

First ball of the reply goes for four!

[andy]

Bad start from archer his first over goes for 12!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wicket though. If it's a tough pitch, might be easier to score runs against the new ball...

[andy]

Atkinson's bowled well pace been up and bowled with good rhythm

[andy]

40-1 after 10 gonna get harder from here for Sri Lanka I think

[andy]

Tongue gets Nissanka and 50 comes up for SL

Slightly annoying archer came off when he did...his first over was crap but found pace and line and length in following 2...just as he got going brook took him off

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seems he wanted to get Rehan into the attack early.

[andy]

Rehans second over was exceptional...maiden, and beat the bat 4 times in the over
