101 - 2

Mathews to Bell, OUT, another slower ball, Bell sits back for it and swings leg side but swings it straight to short long leg where Malinga takes an easy catch.
A poor dismissal from Bell's point of view not getting the elevation on a ball that was there to hit but he picked it up only as far as Malinga
IR Bell c Malinga b Mathews 50

And now they dash off for rain which looks like it could be heavy.
Re: England v Sri Lanka, 1st ODI, The Oval - ketchim - 05-22-2014
2.40pm 5 hours ahead in England
Very black at the moment but looking at the radar it seems like after this band of rain
has moved through, it should be clear for some time so we should be confident of a game
of some sort but it could be curtailed because the rain at the moment is pretty heavy..

3pm : 10 a.m here in Toronto
Usual rules apply, we have some time in grace before we start losing overs, they can reduce the length of the interval to try and keep it to a 50-over per side match, but this being a day-night match, there is less time in hand at the end of the night.
Covers very much still on and large puddles have quickly formed on the outfield but it is brighter in the distance.
Just depends how much damage this heavy rain has done.
