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.

In this match too, England team is performing as well as in the previous matches, they have already scored 221 runs for just 3 wickets and if this continues, they will probably cross 400 runs easily today. But it is sad but true that such a good running match is being delayed due to bad light and that too at one of the best stadium Oval in London.

But anyway for today's match I am confident that England team will beat Sri Lanka and that too by a big margin if the match is not canceled due to weather issue or any other reason. So I can close my eyes and bet on England in this match.

Only 44 overs were possible on day1, as a result of rain interruption. Ollie Pope looked good out there, and he is batting on 103, with Harry Brook at the other end. Jamie Smith is to come next, and he has been in terrific form recently. At the moment, his test average stands at 50.50. And need to mention the 86 from Ben Duckett as well. He was the one who was aggressive early on. Each and every bowler failed from the Lankan side, although Lahiru Kumara picked up two wickets (after going at 7 per over).

Yes, on the first day of this test match, it is possible to play the match up to 1 ball only 44 overs.  Otherwise if we had seen an uninterrupted session of six hours I think we would have seen over 400 runs today.

The way the Australian team is batting confirms that they can cross 400 tomorrow.  I am confident about this.  Also I would expect Ollie Pope to score a double century and another player to score another century along with it. The way they are batting, it looks like they are playing an ODI series.  In any case, it is confirmed that Sri Lanka will be whitewashed in this Test series by England team.

The way the Australian England team is batting

Sri Lanka is playing against England, not Australia. You have made a typo here. Anyway, 400 runs were possible if the day 1 wasn't interrupted by rain. England is going to make the Bazball method as their tradition in the test format. The match is completely in Favour of England now. I hope they will whitewash Sri Lanka by winning the 3rd test match.

[JahriMeayer]

ENG vs SL, 3rd Test match started. And England already started batting and till now they made 221-3 runs 44.1 Overs in the 1st inngins where Ben Duckett(86) missed his century for few more runs but captain Ollie Pope(*103) able to done for century and still not out. Both played played this test match with great Strike rate 100+ as if they are playing ODI Matches lol. Joe Root(13) unfortunately lost his wicket earlier, now Ollie Pope and Harry Brook are in the field. Lahiru Kumara got 2 wickets behalf of his team Sri Lanka. Actually English already have done huge runs and maybe they'll easily cross 400+ runs tomorrow. Just feel little sad for Sri Lanka, they tired well but Still they aren't able to win any matches against England in this series. Even england also strong team with having dengerous skillful bowlers. So If England keep continue their strom performance, i doubt Sri Lanka team is going to whitewashed by England. Although I'm feel so excited about Sri Lanka batting, i hope they could make some decent amount of runs in this last test against England.

England is basically one of the big ones for test cricket, but some time ago there was a very shaky situation in England cricket, but England has changed a lot from that situation.
England won the first two Tests outright and in the third Test, England are considered to have an 80 percent chance.  With the match conditions so far, England will take the collection far which will not be favorable for Sri Lanka at all.

England's score suggests so. England is a very efficient team in Test cricket. Definitely they have good dominance in all formats but their achievement and performance in Test cricket is very good. They gain good skills through regular county games. In the first innings of the third Test, England managed to score 221 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets. If they play like this then the score will surely be huge which will lead them to victory. Sri Lanka are win less in any match so far in this series and are likely to suffer a heavy defeat in the third Test as well. Because they are not able to break down the wickets of the England team.

Sri Lanka won the toss and the fielding decision was wrong. On this pitch we have seen in past matches that the batsmen are capable of batting quite well in the first innings. The Sri Lankan captain probably didn't do his homework properly about the pitch. This is why he won the toss and decided to field.

England batted only 44.1 overs on the first day. And they managed to collect 221 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. England's batsmen collected an average of 5 runs per over. The Sri Lankan bowlers did not bowl well on the first day. I don't expect anything better from Sri Lanka in the last match of the series as well. As usual, Sri Lanka will be defeated in this match as well.

Exactly we can say that the England is the King of Test Match Format. And they are very difficult in Test matches.
Well yesterday was the first day of 3rd test match of series between England and SriLanka.
SriLanka won the toss and they decided to bowl first and England started their first inning with batting. And they made 221 runs with the lost of 3 wickets. Be Duckett was good who made 86 runs. And after him Ollie Pope is playing well and still on the pitch and will start the second day of the match today. He has made 103 runs. If England will go above 350 runs so I this will be very tough for SriLankan team to make any lead to England team. So let's what will they do?

England won the first two test matches by dominating the team. And it is expected that England team players can maintain this consistency in the last match as well. On the first day they managed to collect 221 runs losing only 3 wickets. This is a good enough collection. If England manage to score 400+ in the first innings then it is enough.

Sri Lankan players are not in good form. Moreover, they could not collect 300+ in any innings against England's bowlers. So there is a high probability of seeing England's dominance in the last match as well. England won both the matches by a big margin. If England can score 400+ in the first innings in the third match, I think they will be able to take a decent lead.

After completing a great test series against Pakistan, Team Bangladesh is all set to start their next journey in the Test Championship. Bangladesh's next mission is to win the series against India. India is definitely the favorite on Indian soil, especially if the opponent is Bangladesh, then their chances of winning are very high, but India is not taking Bangladesh as an easy opponent at all. India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant said there is no chance of taking Bangladesh lightly. Bangladesh has been doing well in batting and bowling recently so all the best for Bangladesh, hope Bangladesh will secure a good result against India.

[noormcs5]

Only 44 overs were possible on day1, as a result of rain interruption. Ollie Pope looked good out there, and he is batting on 103, with Harry Brook at the other end. Jamie Smith is to come next, and he has been in terrific form recently. At the moment, his test average stands at 50.50. And need to mention the 86 from Ben Duckett as well. He was the one who was aggressive early on. Each and every bowler failed from the Lankan side, although Lahiru Kumara picked up two wickets (after going at 7 per over).

Rain interruptions are frustrating for one team and in this match it is England who are not liking these interruptions because they are batting so well in this match and would not like to stop the match. Ollie Pope showed character in this match as he made 103 runs and still batting. He could aim for 200 runs too in the England team's bat for the two sessions today. If England manage to score 450+ runs, it will put a lot of physiological pressure on the Sri Lankan batsmen.

Pope passes character test to dispel captaincy clouds

Today is the second day of the test match between England and Sri Lanka, it will start after around 2 hours. Last time, England lost their three wickets as one wicket they lost on the start but then Ben Duckett  played fast and tried to make his century but reach on 8 and lost his wicket, missed his century by 11 runs. With him, Ollie Pope is also playing well he was playing slow in the start but slowly he started to increase the pace and completed his century too. Joe Root has not score well. However Harry Brook  and Ollie Pope will open the game today, Sri Lanka must have to try to pick any wicket in the start to not let England fly away with this game.

Yeh they are doing really great so thier is no chance to take Bangladesh lightly or underestimated them, because Pakistan team does same and we have thier brutal defeat results for a first them in history of Bangladesh cricket, before that Pakistan never ever lose a single test match or series against Bangladesh but for this time things goes in favor of Bangladesh because they really done spectacular in both department of bowling and batting while on the other side due to bad captaincy and bad batting form of Pakistani top and middle order cost them that brutal defeat. Anyway indian recently lose an entire series against SiriLankan team so things can goes in anyone favor whome does best at that day.

First, the Pakistan team treated Bangladesh lightly. Since Bangladesh is weak in Test format, Pakistan thought that Pakistan will be able to easily defeat Bangladesh team. But in the first match Bangladeshi batsmen and bowlers showed surprise. As a result, Bangladesh was able to defeat Pakistan easily.

Bangladeshi players were confident in the second match as well. And Bangladesh team also won the second match by performing well. And they have proved that this squad is not to be underestimated. Along with senior players, young players are now able to perform quite well.

[3kpk3]

Bangladesh improved a lot recently in the test format, but expecting them to win a series against a giant like India on their turf is a stretch. India is way, way stronger when compared to Pakistan and Bangladesh in the test format.

Bet on India outright to win this series. What I am interested in seeing is how some relatively new Indian players perform in the series.

Even if Bangladesh wins the Test series against Pakistan, it is not possible to say for sure that it will win the Test series against India, but it is expected that Bangladesh will perform better than before. Pakistan has performed much worse now than in the past as Pakistan lost the series with Bangladesh only because of poor performance of their players and some wrong decisions. However, Bangladesh will not win the series with India but there is a possibility of some draws and Bangladesh will learn from the Pakistan series and hopefully it will have a positive impact on the Indian series.

Yes, on the first day of this test match, it is possible to play the match up to 1 ball only 44 overs.  Otherwise if we had seen an uninterrupted session of six hours I think we would have seen over 400 runs today.
The way the Australian England team is batting

Sri Lanka is playing against England, not Australia. You have made a typo here. Anyway, 400 runs were possible if the day 1 wasn't interrupted by rain. England is going to make the Bazball method as their tradition in the test format. The match is completely in Favour of England now. I hope they will whitewash Sri Lanka by winning the 3rd test match.

Hehe dude you caught. Yes this was an typo mistake.  Ever since I was a child, Australia and England teams had the same strength and thus made a typing mistake.  Also, I use voice to text which is another reason.

Anyway let's come to the main point, currently 60over gone and England team to 290 runs and they lose their one more wicket currently they have five wicket in hand. They have also quite good time and also five wicket in hand so I think is still they have chance to cross 400 run. However, in the last 10 overs, England's performance has decreased slightly, while Sri Lankan are doing a little better.  Now it is to be seen whether the England team can save their wickets. But even if England team can't get 400 runs I believe England team will win this match.

All eyes are on Bangladesh and the way they defeated Pakistan on their home soil boosted their confidence and also rang bells of danger for team India but anyhow team India is always a favorite in tests, especially on their home ground. As a cricket fan, we wish them the Best of luck for both teams.

Pope passes character test to dispel captaincy clouds

England managed to score 325 and now the lunch break is underway after that we will see how Sri Lanka played this match with some improved and changed strategies. England is still the favourite to win this game and series by 3-0 but let's see if Lanka can push England on a back foot and win the last game.

England team came into this test match they scored 325 runs and lost all the wickets, but in today's match Sri Lanka team will have enough chances as they are likely to draw the match. Because even though the past matches were lost by a wide margin, they have to put in a lot of effort in this match, because the Sri Lankan team will have to show enough opportunities to come out of the losing shell in today's match. But England team's bowling performance is good so England team is more likely to win if only the players stand.
