Graeme Swann strikes twice in his final over to turn the second Test against Sri Lanka firmly back in England's favour as they look to tie the series and retain the number one ranking.

All we need now is a quick breakthrough in the morning and hopefully we can then go on to win this test.

England look to recover after making a terrible start as they chase 94 to beat Sri Lanka and tie the series after dismissing the hosts for 278 on the final day of the second Test.

Surely we cannot lose this as we chase 94.

Yes absolutely brilliant and much needed to fend off those nasty critics.

Re: Cricket
Andrew Strauss finds form with century.

Quote:
A first Test century in 18 months from captain Andrew Strauss put England in a dominant position on day two of the first Test against a toothless West Indies.
Strauss ended the day unbeaten on 121 as England reached 259-3, a lead of 16 runs, with Ian Bell alongside him on five.

Re: Cricket
The west indies side Chanderpaul aside are a p--- poor test side not sure Sammy is the right captain for them,Ramnaresh Sarwan is over here scoring a century for Leicestershire in his current match but deemed not good enough to get into this West Indies side very bizzare indeed he should be playing for west indies not Leicestershire.
They also need to patch things up with Gayle and get him back in, which from what i hear may be on the cards ,as he has pulled out of his 20/20 contract with Somerset due to "international commitments " so that may be about to happen,Chanderpaul needs some help out there,it was embarassing nobody could stick around with him in the first innings to allow his century.
Its a shame the West Indies board cannot get its head together.
However England look a sure bet to beat the west indies team put before them later today if not by lunch.
