Currently England are 211 for 7 with Moeen on 71 and Jordan on 21 with some 30 overs to go. Although England could win by getting another 139 runs, that is highly unlikely.

Jordan out for 21, England 212 for 8.

Broad out for a duck, England 228 for 9.

Moeen has just reached his century so well done to him and regardless of the result he, at least, deserves credit for perserverance.

Anderson out for a duck off the penultimate ball after having faced over 50 balls. England all out for 249, Moeen not out on 108.

The first time Sri Lanka has won a test series in England.

The series of 5 Test matches between England and India starts on 9th July. But will Cook be the captain?

Although defeated we do seem to have at least found a couple of promising players.

I haven't started a thread for the England v India test series as I've given up following the England team as the current level of performance makes it rather depressing. I see that India got 457 runs off their first innings. In reply England are currently 25 for 1 with Cook out again for 5 runs. Hardly surprising.

Cook out again cheaply in the second Test, this time for 10 runs. Just how long will England retain him? His current form is a liability to the team and he needs to be dropped so that he can try to regain some form from county cricket.
