England 56- 3 after 25 overs
What the fuck do they think they are doing?
Getting bogged down by decent bowling and then playing rash shots!
Lunch 57-3
Vince still on 0 after 15 balls
Don’t get me wrong it’s been turgid this morning, at best!!
I am lucky I cannot watch it then have only got the BBC reports to go on.
How fucking bad are we

83 for Bloody 5 Jesus bloody wept.
One of the commentators earlie was saying that we’ve only won 33% of test played at Headingly!! So why the fuck do we still play there??

Hales 50 up.
Bairstow doing what Bairstow does best…
Just one of those starts I would say. Be interested to see if we can make 250 + then what we do with the ball.
120- 5
Hales and Bairstow still in
Bairstow survives an LBW call, reviewed and ball was missing the stumps.
150 up with a 6 from Bairstow
He’s now 47 from 51 balls
Hales 65 from 142
154-5, another LBW call, Sri Lanka reviewing the not out decision.
Stupid review by Sri Lanka it was so obviously missing the wickets.
Bairstow 50 up, 51 from 60 balls
167-5
Sri Lanka appealing for everything at the moment
171-5 tea
114 runs in the afternoon session for 2 wickets
88 partnership between Bairstow and Hales.
