Eng v SL, 2nd Test : Day 1 : Some observations
England are on top. End of Day 1, Sri Lanka bowled out for 141, England 130 odd for 3. But it’s not all tea and crumpets just yet. In fact, England being in command after day 1 seem a little familiar. I’m not going to be counting anyone’s chickens in this match… England need to bat all day tomorrow and really cement a position. But the biggest question of the day : Melinga the Slinger? Where the heck did this guy learn to play cricket?
Experience ought to warn us though that a good first day rarely means something in English cricketing history. Breath will be baited to see if we can make the most of the advantage in day 2.
Wow, the England tail went out in about 5 minutes.
If Sri Lanka can match their 2nd innings in the first test then England are in a heap of trouble.
