Very good chance to stick 75 runs on the board tonight
Why are we letting this guy on debut wander along to 50
Come on let's get on with it....
We are stuck here now.... Put the other spinner on, or go off
We are just basically enabling them now
Reckon the last one goes quickly now
Bad light has stopped play... 22 for no loss
Will England just put SL to the sword with the bat now? It would to have a bit of competition.
Good day for England. You expect a partnership to develop. but 232 is way short on this pitch..
Its Raining at Old Trafford

In August....shocker
need make it like tennis, stick a roof on and play under lights, if its fine pull roof back and actually get some play!
Play will resume in 5 minutes or so
2 poor decisions there but at least it's the right outcome with England one down
we are losing wickets at an alarming rate here
Pope is starting to annoy me. Needs to back up his talent with some consistency. I know his average at 3 is good but it is starting to feel a bit Bell/Bairstow-sequel, in that he has one massive innings followed by 10 crap ones
Brook out to a beauty.....
Not much more to come !?!?
We are making very hard work of this
I think we are a batter short in this line up.Considering Duckett continues to fail
Sri Lanka at least have a bit more about them than the West Indies do I think

He'd had a pretty decent summer against Windies with two fifties and a century in 4 innings. As a Surrey man I thought you'd be quicker to defend the lad rather than kill him after 2 low scores. I know what you mean though but I think he's got a bit of credit in the bank, plus he's captain so a little extra pressure on him.
He does look like a debutant every time he comes out to bat though, compare him to Smith who looks very composed in only his 4th Test plus his keeping has been very good. No Bairstow, Foakes etc chat has been needed.
It was great hearing a trumpeter in the crowd playing the Coronation Street theme just now. It was as though a television was turned up loud 😁
