Just watching the Cricket, the game is pretty boring but worth watching just for bumble and his commentary

England conspiring to fuck up their run chase - need 74 and currently 16/3.

Shambolic run out for Joe Root, not sure why Bairstow is so determined to take these quick singles. He obviously doesn't fancy facing these spinners.

38-3 at close, so another 36 to win. Surely they should be able to muster 36?

 

[Pride of Lions]

No mistakes today. England reaching their target of 76 without any further loss.

Enland 1 up in their 2 match series.

Scenes at the Gabba - India chase down a record 328 to win by 3 wickets with 3 overs to go.

First time Australia have lost there since 1988 - madness!!

Fair play to India, won the series 2-1 and all achieved with a patched up team and no Virat Kohli

Terrific game of cricket , and a terrific series.

Test cricket is still the best form of that game. FACT.

I see Jimmy Anderson is back for England. Good job too, Sri Lanka are 193-4 with Jimmy taking three.

I'm not as into Cricket as I am football But are Sibley and Crawley really the best openers they look bog standard to me.

England on their way to another win against Sri Lanka.

After skittling Sri Lanka out for 126, England are currently 84-2 needing just another 80 to win.

Slightly squeaky bum time.

I'd have to twat that Dickwella around the head with the bat if he was behind me, what a noise he makes

And that is exactly what the purpose of his chat is.

All wicketkeepers are the same tbh.
