England in SL (2 tests) at Galle January 2021

[The_Frog]

Goes past Hadlee as the oldest pace bowler to take 5 in Asia.

All this means is that someone older has taken 5 wickets, but it wasn't in Asia.

 

[Twizzle]

jeez, Jimmy Anderson just keeps on keeping on

[AlwaysGreen]

Root run out for 186, England 9/339.

Left arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya with 7/132 off 41 overs.

 

[JJ]

Small chance for Sri Lanka here - have to get quick runs, but English attack not threatening in those conditions - then get Root cheaply and it's all on...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bess with 4, Leach with 4 and Root with 2 have routed Sri Lanka.

Poms need 118 to win, sit at 1/46.
