Nicely played Root and England. Should be a very interesting chase

Stating the obvious, but England really need to break this partnership. Sri Lanka 73/0 (13 overs).

100 up
Re: England v Sri Lanka at Wellington - dillinger10 - 03-01-2015
Huge gift as England were running out of ideas.

Any easier the Lankan batsmen would be wearing carpet slippers and smoking a cigar

I thought Morgan was too passive after Moeen picked up the wicket of Dilshan. Instead of putting pressure on Sanga and bringing back Jimmy into the attack, he chose to bring on Root.
I believe it was Warnie and Athers that brought up the fact that England's bowling attack is all too similar, there just isn't much variation in pace or arm slots outside of Moeen.

Police ejecting some people from the stadium embarrassing their country, left 11 out there though

This is all just part of the game plan.
Finish fourth and face India in the quarter finals, a more favorable match up than having to face South Africa.
Re: England v Sri Lanka at Wellington - angelasmith998 - 03-01-2015
Pure rubbish. Short balls which are not even shoulder high. Just long hops. Rank bad balls. Not even attacking. Fine leg is up
Re: England v Sri Lanka at Wellington - bala24 - 03-01-2015
This is getting easy for the lankans.
217/1 in 37 overs.They can chase it with relative ease for sure.
