Completely forgot this started tonight.

England currently 159-1 after 12 and set for a monster total.

 

[CTBee]

Brook with a class century, had the good grace to get to it just before the Brentford game started as well.

England won by 119 runs and lead the series 1-0.

Waste of time.

Raining, is it delayed?

 

[TeeJayBee]

Rain seems to have stopped……

 

[TeeJayBee]

Looks like they’re starting on time.

Archer in, Tongue out. ( )

Baker , wicket maiden in the 19th over, in a 20/20

Another thriller by the sound of it.

 

[kaebess]

Unfortunately all got a little boring. Like last night you watch sport to be excited and entertained

 

[badgerbee]

Wonder how much people paid for that "entertainment" tonight?
Compared to my £28:00 (ST pro rata) last night.....

First ODI starts at 12:30.

England win the toss and will bat first.

 

[Untouchable]

England bowled out for 265 after 48.1 overs.

Finally a competitive performance from Sri Lanka!

 

[ChrisSmith1992]

Backed England to win, England Most Four's and England Most Sixes.... According to Comms it's been 76 Innings and 5 years since the last time we've had an innings and not hit a six... f***ing typical

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Thought Sri Lanka bowled pretty well but this is a very average performance with the bat.

 

[Untouchable]

Thought Sri Lanka bowled pretty well but this is a very average performance with the bat.

Reasonable start with the bat followed by losing 4-21 has probably ended the match as a contest.

 

[Untouchable]

Sri Lanka all out for 176.

England win by 89 runs and lead the series 1-0.

 

[Untouchable]

Second ODI underway at 12:30.

Sri Lanka win the toss and bat first.

England are unchanged from the first ODI.

 

[longtimeagobee]

A close finish.
I thought the ball that had Overton caught was a no ball on the first replay

 

[Banana]

Great game. Enjoyed that. Some great fielding from the visitors there.

 

[Untouchable]

Sri Lanka win by 16 runs. Series tied 1-1.

It would probably have been a routine England win if Buttler hadn’t gone off injured.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Good game, plenty of twists and turns.

 

[Untouchable]

Third ODI underway at 10:30.

England win the toss and bowl first.

Correction here - England are batting.

I missed the toss and assumed that I could rely on the BBC!

 

[Untouchable]

6-1. Duckett duck.

 

[Untouchable]

England win by 223 runs and win the series 2-1.

 

[longtimeagobee]

That run-out, not run-out, then actually run-out was confusing for all concerned!

 

[TeeJayBee]

That run-out, not run-out, then actually run-out was confusing for all concerned!

Given that Archer’s superb throw knocked the stump out of the ground while the batsman was still horizontal in the air miles out of his ground it would have been a travesty if that had remained “not out”.

 

[Banana]

Sri Lanka's catching is just woeful. Even people in the crowd are better.

 

[SpiderBee]

Not been a vintage summer for England men's cricket has it?

Not been a vintage summer for England men's cricket has it?

We've definitely had worse but yes all a bit underwhelming.
