Jimmy : 55 balls , zero runs and LOST !

Huge cheers from the England fans with every block..

2 balls to go !

"Anderson must have created a record of sorts for having faced maximum balls

without scoring."

He has!

Hard luck Jimmy,feel sorry for you guys.You came close,but still it was far,very far.The rescue act was brilliant and to put up such a fight and stave off defeat for more than a day is awesome.A draw wouldn't have been convincing end to this as SL deserved to win this,at least for their 2 stalwarts playing their last test match on English soil.Kudos Lanka and farewell Mahela and Sanga...England will miss you..

hard luck??? kidding right


it's the beginning of the dismantling of the Big 3

Just though Mo might have tried better to face the last over as the lankans would be full on......

Do not get me wrong, the Brother did brilliantly well but he would have been heading to the dressing room having saved the mtch after such a sterling performance. Also there was no talking in that last over and when Jimbo was slumped I did not really see Moeen.
