England v Sri Lanka, (England's Streak Ends Here) at the Glorious Sharjah Cricket Stadium, 11/1 Monday (N), Match #29, Group 1

[White Ball]

I would have bowled a batsman who can turn their arm over for 3 balls keep it tight then you have all the options still available. England now have one less Woakes over at the death

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Didn't Malan use to bowl some passable-ish leg spin? Not sure if he's kept up with it.

SL slowly pulling themselves out of the crapper it seems

 

[wpdavid]

These guys are playing the situation so well. SL favourites now.

 

[91Jmay]

SL should win from here. 10 an over, with none death bowlers on. Moeen into 2 right handers, all favours them

Stop the gambhiring, it doesn't suit you

 

[wpdavid]

So much for my theory about Livingstone not bowling any more in this game. We'll soon know if this is brave or daft by the skipper.

 

[cnerd123]

England's game to lose atm.

 

[smash84]

now that Shanaka has been rendered impotent, England should win from here

 

[91Jmay]

That's so good from Buttler

 

[cnerd123]

Butler-ball

 

[BoyBrumby]

Couple of bravura pieces of fielding from England there.

If we get home they've played a huge part.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's over. No way SL making this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Easy win now but certainly wasn't. Sri Lanka played well but the big moments have changed it.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gotta credit the skipper there. Great thinking under pressure.

 

[Niall]

the music been blared out when England have dominated last wee while has been pretty grim, although will probably most of it in the off topic thread over next few weeks.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is England behind the over rate?

 

[cnerd123]

Really good from England. Have so many layers to this team. Could have lost this game at several junctures but kept finding ways out of it (mostly thanks to Butler tbf)
