Thread: England v Sri Lanka 2nd Test, Chester-le-Street

    England v Sri Lanka 2nd Test, Chester-le-Street

    England win the toss and elect to bat first. Seems a bit odd in those conditions!

    Hope this is the day Cook get his 10k out of the way, but a shame it'll be in a half empty ground. Hosting a test in the north east at the end of May when there was one down the road a week ago? Baaaaaaaad idea.

    Compton fails again, Cook out still 5 short of 10K runs

    Such a stupid shot to play. Surely he's on his way out. I'm sure it's not in the selectors thinking but I wouldn't mind moving Mo up to 3; plays there at county and would be far more comfortable.

    Good to see Hales fairing a lot better in conditions that's he's used to. Patient knock so far.

    I agree with you there Mo is wasted batting at 7, Root has got another 50 in next to no time. he makes batting look so easy

    Sometimes odd decisions work out.
    The decision to bat first would appear to fall into this category.

    Without wanting to discredit England what a pitiful performance from Sri Lanka in the first two tests.
    All over in 3 days again
