The third Test match between England vs Sri Lanka starts today, as England won the previous two matches by a wide margin. So in today's third ODI match, England team will try hard to win the series. But Sri Lanka team will surely try to perform well in this third test match to protect their reputation, but looking at the list of players I can say that England team will win this match too. Because the England squad has experienced bowlers and batsmen who can give an aggressive batting performance at any time. That's why I will support the England team, the margin of victory in the first and second match is the biggest.

The England team is certainly strong as they came into the second Test match with a wide margin, but both teams will try hard to win today's match. Because if the Sri Lankan team loses this match then they will not be able to win a single match in this series. So today's match will try hard to win, but Ollie Pope is well aware of the fact that he is led by an experienced captain. Ollie Pope does it effortlessly and accurately in situations where the bowling needs to be controlled, which is why the England team performs well in any match.

England team is strong but Sri Lankan team is not so strong as we have seen in last two matches the team lost by huge margin. Moreover, the England team has already won the Test series, so today's match will not be played so seriously by the England team. But if Sri Lanka can change the momentum of the game and their performances then there is a chance to win today and today's match is very important for Sri Lanka to win. But Ollie Pope is doing great captaincy of England, he leads the team superbly and plays with good performance in every match. However, I think this third test match is also more likely to be won by England but here Sri Lanka team must be tough against England, if Sri Lanka can't win then it will be a whitewash in the test series.

If it was Sri Lanka's home match, maybe Sri Lanka would have tried to win and would have been able to perform well. But this is England's home series. And the England team is always strong on this type of pitch. And the evidence of this has already been given by the players of England. England's overall performance was strong in both matches. And they managed to win by a big margin.

If Sri Lanka wants to do well in the last match then the batsmen will have to bat well. There is no alternative. The main reason for Sri Lanka's defeat in the last match was poor batting in the first innings. Sri Lanka scored only 196 runs in their first innings. If the performance of the batsmen is weak, the Sri Lankan team will be defeated by a big margin in the last match.

In this final Test match today, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl as they will be batting at the target at the end. Although it will be a winning chance for the Sri Lankan captain, the bowling will have to be handled correctly and on target. And finally if they bat at the target, the batting performance is likely to be good, but if the wickets of the England team fall in the first power play, it will be possible to keep the England team under pressure.  And given their target, the Sri Lankan team is likely to win in the end.

The 3rd Test match of England vs Sri Lanka team has started. England team has come to the field to bat. I am waiting to see how well the batsmen of England team can bat in the 3rd Test match. If Sri Lanka team can bowl well in the bowling line, maybe England team will score a lot of runs Can't. Which team will win depends on the bowling and batting of the two teams.

England already won the series. All they can achieve from this match is whitewashing Sri Lanka and stepping forward on the Test Championship point table. But Sri Lanka has to win this match to avoid whitewash, which won't be easy. Sri Lanka has to improve their bowling further to have some hope. I won't say their batters played well, except for the 2nd innings of the first test.

Sri Lanka's top-order batters are out of stock at this moment, especially the opening pairs. Karunaratne has one half century in the 2nd test 2nd innings, except for this innings, their batting performance wasn't good at all. Madushka is having a hard time. I hope he will come back.

Duleep Trophy is in action and if I am being honest, noticing a significant improvement in terms of broadcasting. Commentary sounds much better because comms are aware of players. BCCI investing enough money into this (DRS etc).

2 matches are going on simultaneously and seamers are having a field day on spicy wickets. This competition will decide the career trajectory of many players, especially Shreyas Iyer, Kishan and Bharat or to some extent KL Rahul (for home season). Selectors will keep an eye on Pant vs Jurel as well.

The kind of Pitches they served for these matches, looks more like an audition for India A team, Scheduled to tour Australia before BGT. In the batting department, Musheer should get an early call.

In the seam department, Harshit Rana (Ind D) looks fine choice. Nitish Reddy (Batting All-rounder) from Ind B looking promising too. Akashdeep was impressive on his debut against England and here, he did the same so he might be in contention and should be ahead of Mukesh Kumar. Saini has pace but he's injury prone and a loose cannon so miss and hit case IMO. Arshdeep has control but speed is not there.

This is England's home series. And this is why we are seeing good performance from England players in this series. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan team is not strong enough in the Test format. The performance of most of the Sri Lankan players has been erratic in the Test format. In the first two matches of this series, Sri Lankan players did not perform well.

However, England's squad is strong. Besides, Joe Root is in good form. If England bat first in this match then I guess England will be able to collect 400+. Like the last two matches, there is no surprise if England wins by a big margin in this match. Because there is no batsman in the Sri Lankan squad who is able to consistently bat with responsibility.

Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva won the toss and elected to field. I think batting earlier on this type of pitch gives more advantage. On these pitches it is a bit difficult for the batsmen to bat well on the fourth and fifth day. Still I don't know why the Sri Lankan captain took the fielding decision. If Sri Lanka had batted earlier, they might have collected a descent in the first innings.



England lost their first wicket by 45 runs. Dan Lawrence has batted very carefully so far. Even then could not survive at the crease. He collected 5 runs from 21 balls. On the other hand, Ben Duckett is batting aggressively. Duckett scored 38 runs from 36 balls. He is batting at 100+ strike rate. Duckett and Pope are now at the crease. Let's see how this pair bats.

The 3rd Test match of England vs Sri Lanka team has started. England team has come to the field to bat. I am waiting to see how well the batsmen of England team can bat in the 3rd Test match. If Sri Lanka team can bowl well in the bowling line, maybe England team will score a lot of runs Can't. Which team will win depends on the bowling and batting of the two teams.

The 3rd test between England and Sri Lanka is in progress and at the moment the match is stopped due to bad light. England made 76 and lost a wicket so far. I would say it is an aggressive and good start by England team. After the initial loss of Dan Lawrence , Ben Duckett  had made a half century and with him Ollie Pope, the captain,  is also looking good.

The Sri Lankan team has tried four different bowlers but only Lahiru Kumara got success. These Sri Lankan bowlers are unable to control the run rate as England run rate is 5.06 and this is considered high in a test match.

[Popkon6]

Duckett and Ollie Pope form a batsman partnership, but both batsmen are very efficient. Duckett scored 51 runs off 48 balls and scored a half-century off to a very good start, losing one wicket but with a very good run rate. Thus, if the England players can collect runs then surely they can collect the wicket in the end, but Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya must remember that this is the last Test match. 

So even though they have changed the bowling and adopted different strategies to reduce the run rate of the England team, it will only depend on the bowlers of the Sri Lankan team. As a successful bowler, Lahiru kumara is really doing great bowling performance, but bowling alone should never be relied upon, so all bowlers should be careful.

There was the first day between England and Sri Lanka that is in progress at The Oval ground. It is the last match of this series. After the fifteen overs, we witnessed rain in the ground and the match was stopped for some time. England was batting first, they lost their one player so early, lost Dan Lawrence who made just 5 runs, but when Dan has gone Ben Duckett took the game in good way by making partnership with Ollie Pope and also playing hard and quick. Ollie Pope is leading the team, he was playing slow because he wants to safe his wicket and also there is need for someone who can just keep wickets at one end.

The third Test match between England vs Sri Lanka starts today, as England won the previous two matches by a wide margin. So in today's third ODI match, England team will try hard to win the series. But Sri Lanka team will surely try to perform well in this third test match to protect their reputation, but looking at the list of players I can say that England team will win this match too. Because the England squad has experienced bowlers and batsmen who can give an aggressive batting performance at any time. That's why I will support the England team, the margin of victory in the first and second match is the biggest.

Sri Lanka squad already lost two test match total of 3 and last one is ongoing among Sri Lanka squad against England squad. Their performance in previous matches were by slim and weak and with such performance they do not defeat strong squad England and this third match is last match of this test competition and last opportunity to save their reputation and also avoid by whitewash in test competition by Defeating England squad in single match. I feel that Sri Lanka will also lose this third match after seeing the performance of England squad in first inning and I don't like the performance Sri Lanka bowlers in whole competition and every time they messed up and Sri Lanka squad faced defeat. Currently, England squad has managed 96 scores with lost of one wicket and his name is Dan Lawrence. But next both batters are playing their inning with amazing performance and build strong and long lasting partnership both Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett managed 26 and 60 scores respectively.

England are batting on the first day of the third Test match and they have already lost one wicket. However, the batsman of the England team, Daniel Lawrence, could not perform well today. He got out after scoring 5 runs in 21 balls. But later Ollie Pope the captain of England and Ben Duckett these two batsmen took the game forward brilliantly creating a good score in the partnership of the two. Ben Duckett is batting brilliantly to get his century and he might get his century soon his collection of 78 runs from 74 balls is really great  The duo currently have a partnership of 131 runs on day one, but they look set to produce a huge one.

There was the first day between England and Sri Lanka that is in progress at The Oval ground. It is the last match of this series. After the fifteen overs, we witnessed rain in the ground and the match was stopped for some time. England was batting first, they lost their one player so early, lost Dan Lawrence who made just 5 runs, but when Dan has gone Ben Duckett took the game in good way by making partnership with Ollie Pope and also playing hard and quick. Ollie Pope is leading the team, he was playing slow because he wants to safe his wicket and also there is need for someone who can just keep wickets at one end.

The rain has finished at the Oval ground and now all the players are back in the ground. Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope both are playing with the same energy and with the same strength. Ben Duckett wasted no time and smashed a boundary on the first ball. He is batting on 60 runs, he used 60 balls. The Sri Lanka is searching for the wickets right now.

Lahiru Kumara picked the first wicket of Dan Lawrence.  That is why, now the captain of Sri Lanka giving back to back overs to Lahiru Kumara to pick another wicket of the England team. By the way, if this time England lose any wicket it will be huge advantage for the Sri Lankan team.

The 3rd Test match of England vs Sri Lanka team has started. England team has come to the field to bat. I am waiting to see how well the batsmen of England team can bat in the 3rd Test match. If Sri Lanka team can bowl well in the bowling line, maybe England team will score a lot of runs Can't. Which team will win depends on the bowling and batting of the two teams.

Sri Lanka lost the first two Tests i.e. the first surface by 5 wickets and the second Test by a huge margin of 190 runs. Sri Lanka did not perform well in either of the two Tests, so there was no chance of a draw. In the conditions so far in the third test, two wickets have fallen for 172 runs, which means that if they finish today's game, they will probably score 300 plus runs on the first day. That is, there is no possibility of Sri Lanka winning in the third test, that is, it will not be possible to say whether there will be any possibility of a draw.

In third test match Sri lanak won the toss and decided to bowl first. England current score is 183 runs in a loss of just 2 wickets in second session of day one. Sri Lanka bowlers didn't picked easily wickets only Lahiru Kumara and Milan Rathnayake picked one, one wickets. From England Ben Duckets batting performance is outstanding scored 86 runs from just 79 balls playing with strike rate of 108, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 14 runs short. Ollie Pope the captain of England team in playing at 75 runs from just 77 balls he played runs a ball like ODI match is playing. I think england will score huge runs in first inning of test match and will try their best to whitewashed Sri Lanka in this series.

It is tea at the Oval cricket ground and I think today's both session belong to England team. The partnership between Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope was ended when Ben Duckett was out on 86 runs and he was bowled by Rathnayake. England captain is still on the wicket and is batting on 89. I was sad because I thought the way Ben played today he should have completed his century and missed it by only 14 runs. However, now Ollie Pope will defiantly make his century.
31 overs remain in the day and i think England will easily make 300+ runs by the end of the first day.

The 3rd Test match of England vs Sri Lanka team has started. England team has come to the field to bat. I am waiting to see how well the batsmen of England team can bat in the 3rd Test match. If Sri Lanka team can bowl well in the bowling line, maybe England team will score a lot of runs Can't. Which team will win depends on the bowling and batting of the two teams.

And in this match very good performance and fast speed is seen from England side.  England's batsmen have reached 76 runs and a wicket in 15 overs and I hope they will give a good and big target in the first innings which Sri Lanka will not be able to achieve.  No, Sri Lanka will lose this match because their performance is very poor in the first 15 overs as they have taken only 1 wicket and are not stopping enough runs.  Yes it is, but England are currently scoring runs at a fast pace and Sri Lanka are just busy with their bowling to take difficult targets.  And the result will be known only at the end whether Sri Lanka can turn the tide and win the match.

Usually subcontinent teams are have not good performance due to lack of quality and understanding of conditions recently we are having development in Indian team but still things are never been easy Sri Lanka is suffering badly in this tour in this third and last test match of tour we have good batting performance from the England on first rain hit day.

Sri Lanka lost test match at the Lords after decades which is clearly pointed out now they are badly down and out of game in today game they are having good success against Joe Root as he out on 13 runs which is good success for the Sri Lankan team now we have Ollie Pope and Harry Brook on crease and things are clearly suggesting we will have good target for Sri Lanka from English team as they are playing with above 5 run rate in today inning.
