Follow live text, in-play video clips and radio commentary as England host Sri Lanka in the third Test at Kia Oval.
Sri Lanka haven't bothered the stumps at all - 10% would have hit or clipped, only once in their last 25 Tests have they targeted them less.It's been a bit strange today, I though the ball was going to do all sorts.
It might do more tomorrow if there's not as much moisture, I think we've all been surprised with the lack of seam.Watching Joe Root bat is mesmerising. He was facing Vishwa Fernando from about 18 yards in that last over. The game is too easy for him.Australia have set Scotland a formidable target of 197 in the second T20 match of their tour.
Brad Currie dismissed Travis Head for a first ball duck, but that brought Josh Inglis to the crease and the wicketkeeper-batter blasted 103 from 49 deliveries before being dismissed by Chris Sole in the penultimate over of the innings.Meanwhile, north of the border, Scotland are taking on Australia. If you've never been to the Grange in Edinburgh, I highly recommend it. Glorious spot for a bit of cricket. What is happening?CricViz have shot type data in Test cricket from 2006.
All for Bazball but it irritates me when the only batter who has the ruthlessness to make innings count and go big is Root, who has learned from India. Ridiculous shot by Duckett to a bowler he is facing for the first time this session. Watch, get 100, 200 etc.So England lose a wicket and what do they do? They go on the charge. 16 runs from that Kumara over.
A little bit of relief of Chandimal who has had a difficult day behind the stumps. Steadied himself and gloved that one nicely.Remember when I said I was in danger of a straight hit? I'm in the game for Duckett's scoops and uppercuts.
