England scored 292 and S/L in reply are 141/4 after 34 overs.

S/L 249/6 off 50 overs.

England won by 43 runs.

Some respite for England after the battering they received at the hands of Australia. For S/L there seems to be no end to their misery. After being beaten by SA and now facing the mighty Australians.

England's firt win of the tour after 14 matches. I personally like some of england players... Hope they go on to beat aussies which is going to be very difficult for them !

Nice come back from England :k:

Sure, they deserve victory after being so harshed by their own media, BBC

And on the other hand SL continue to go down out of the sub continent. ;)
