    Afghanistan and SL our next 2 matches, so you'd expect us to win both and hopefully we can give Roy and Morgan time to rest and recover before we face Australia and India

    Just makes it even crazier that we had Woakes below an out of form Moeen
    Woakes at number 3 in the test matches anyone. 
    As good a chance as anyone else I think.

    It'll be interesting how we juggle our squad for these matches. We won't want to overbowl Wood either, with his bad ankle

    Totally agree. 
    Wood has been bowling superbly so far.

    England have a few injury concerns at the moment what with Buttler, Wood, Roy and Morgan.

    Woakes as test no. 3... Behave. Did well today but come on

    You should only be eligible for Test number 3 if you can take a good kicking

    We already have someone who could be the best Test no. 3 in the world. He just refuses to bat there.

    Root now has a better average in ODIs than in Tests.In fact his stats are remarkably consistent

    Tests 6685 runs at 49.51 with 16 100s
    ODIs 5579 runs at 51.65 with 16 100s

    He even averages 49 in First class and List A

    Whilst i agree that he should bat 3, if he doesn't want to then we have to accept that imo, the best batsman in the world (Kholi) bats at 4

    Australia looking good, Sri Lanka looking ragged...

    As usual.
     Losing Murali, Sanga,Jaya,Dilshan in just a few years is a huge gap to fill.
    I notice that SL have complained to ICC about the pitches ,facilities and Hotels given to them so far. I'm almost expecting them to complain to the ICC about the weather too.

    agree, BUT remember Sandpaper Smith started as a 'promising' leg spinner and hit or miss lower order batsman .. admittedly Smith was a lot younger than Woakes when his (Smith's) batting metamorphosis took place

    Australia are making an absolute dog's breakfast of this innings.  Great to see.

    350  / 360 looked very much on at one point. 
    Nice to see the Aussies make a mess of it at the end.
    I still think the may have enough but you never know. 
    Come on  Lanka.

    Great knock by Finch and Smith played well but odd periods when the Aussies got bogged down 

    Sloppy fielding by Sri Lanka, a no ball for not enough men in the ring sums it up

    Certainly SHOULD be enough against Sri Lanka but disapointing total given where they were at one point.

    I may have to take my words back if Sri Lanka continue like this!

    The thing with Root is you watch him playing himself in and then suddenly realise he has 40 off 35 balls without seemingly being very attacking.

    Great atmosphere at the Oval, like an Ashes match! The Sri Lankans are in good voice, and the "neutrals " as well

    Here we go then, fun while it lasted. The other 9 wickets will probably fall for about 70.

    its the fifth bowler(s) for OZ where SL have to attack - if they can get 70/80 off them then they could be in business.

    If Sri Lanka can go another 7 or 8 overs without losing another wicket it could be very close.

    I'd feel a lot better if it was 27 or 28.
