SL won the toss and elected to bat.
68/1 off 11 0vers.
Will England be able to salvage some pride?
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
I dont think so
They have got into a habit of losing and its hard to get out of
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
Sri Lanka 106/1 (15.5 ov)
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
Sri Lanka 140/1 (22.1) overs. RR 6.31
The way the Sri Lankans are batting - score of 350+ is easily possible.
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
Sri Lanka 233/6 (40.3 ov). England have done well to restrict the run rate and therefore teh Sri Lankans may not get 350 as suggested before. However, still strong possibility to get around the 300+ mark.
Great innings by the Sri Lankan captain - again leading from the front.

Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
It doesnt seem like, Sri Lanka 318/7 (50 ov)
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
SL were well set for 350+. Quick wickets in between stopped their progress. Still a dauting task for England.
During the Lankan innings they showed Wasim Akram with his old Lancashire team mate Neil Fairbrother. I wonder if he is just visiting his old home ground or is there for Pak-Eng series coverage.
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
He is here for the coverage
Wasim Pai will be a commentator Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
Sri Lanka 318/7 (50 ov)
England 178/4 (33.6 ov)
England RR 5.23
Required RR 8.81
Sri Lanka RR 6.36
England in trouble yet again!
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
- England’s cricketers will look to follow the example of their football counterparts as they try to end their One-day International (ODI) losing streak against Sri Lanka here at Old Trafford.
First Ashes and now football :rotfl:
Re: SL v England - 4th ODI
45.2Fernando to Plunkett, FOUR, thwacked over midwicket with confidence
45.3Fernando to Plunkett, 1 run, Acrobatic half stop by the bowler and as the batsmen scramble a single, Dalrymple hits Fernando on the top of the head with his bat
Dalrymple to Fernando: Why can’t you give me a ball like you did to Plunkett so I can hit 4
