Duckett throwing his wicket away with a reverse sweep, kind of appropriate though as he looks like a left handed Mike Gatting.

 

[Plugger35]

Not a bad session for Sri Lanka but they are lucky England threw away their wickets to make their decision to bowl first look OK.

Pope has inherited the Botham captaincy curse with scores of 6, 6 and 1 so far, England need Stokes back to lift the curse off him.

 

[sabso]

Baseball is a coping mechanism for lack of discipline and staying power at the crease, just like baylissball before it.

They had to make up some way to give stokes 100 tests while constantly averaging 35, looks to be going the same way with pope.

We better come up with something more mature for the ashes or it’ll be another whitewash

Can Lawrence

Get bohannon, cook in

Get rocky flintoff in the side at some point

 

[Plugger35]

Brook fired out lbw by Pistol, a little unlucky with umpire's call but if he got some bat on it he wouldn't have needed any luck.

Rathnayake is very vanilla.
Looked similarly timid in the first test.
Really letting the tires down here.

Rathnayake picking up the wicket of Smith, that wicket came out of nowhere just when Root and Smith were looking comfortable.

 

[Plugger35]

Root scoring his 33rd test ton to match Alastair Cook.

McCullum won't be happy though as it took him 160 odd balls to do it, not Bazball enough.

 

[sabso]

Negatives: Pope duckett and root got themselves out

Positives: Atkinson playing proper cricket shots showing test allrounder temperament against this average attack

Reiffel performed like his footy club with some of the decisions in the last match. He was pretty accurate today which augurs well for the future

 

[Plugger35]

Gus Atkinson into the 90s, on the verge of his first test ton and it's his highest first class score.

He will be one of the more unlikely names on the Lord's test hundred board if he can get there.

 

[RookiePick]

Sri Lanka going nowhere until they can do better than these military medium pacers.

At a run a ball mind.

 

[eddiesmith]

Brilliant hundred

 

[Plugger35]

Atkinson bringing up his ton in style with another cracking shot, he's done it at a run a ball too, he's looking like the new Botham.

He isn't batting against a great bowling attack though it has to be said.

 

[MJG14]

The Atkinson LBW given by Reiffel when he was in the 80s proves that DRS is a good thing.

 

[The Sultan]

Well there is no footy on and can’t stand AWFL or rugba league..

Young Atkinson batted well

Well there is no footy on and can’t stand AWFL or rugba league..

Young Atkinson batted well

The Paralympics don't do much for me either, this is the best live sport going tonight.

 

[Plugger35]

Cricketers who have a 10 for and a test hundred at Lord's are Gubby Allen, Keith Miller, Ian Botham, Stuart Broad & Chris Woakes.

Now Gus Atkinson joins them.

 

[Plugger35]

A great catch to end a great innings.

 

[MJG14]

That's a great catch.

 

[RookiePick]

Nice Grab. Not sure Atkinson needed to play that shot but pretty irrelevant. England will win this by 250+

 

[The Sultan]

Hurry up skittle them so we can see the duke ball curving around like a taped up tennis ball

 

[Plugger35]

Sri Lanka could do with some Malinga yorkers to skittle the tail, their bowlers have let the English tail wag way too much.

Now they wrap it up with Asitha Fernando getting a well deserved 5'fer, he has been the pick of their bowlers in this series.

 

[The Sultan]

Bold review … could’ve had another bat next to it and still missed the edge

 

[MJG14]

Absolutely horrendous review.
