    Sri Lanka go from 155-1 for 155-5 and now 183-8. Nice application by the number 8 going for a massive slog with 19 overs left.

    Another game ruined by lack of application.

    Rain might save them and a few other teams this week.

    Maybe he just became incorporated into a bigger word.

    A sort of verbal black hole.

    Somerset on fire vs Surrey.

    Brooks 5 out of 5 in the 4th innings.

    A win & surely young Abell will be composing his acceptance speech for the CC trophy.

    Aussies being "blown away by Windies".
    Great fun until we face this pace at some point.

    Aussies will of course go on to win the match.

    Interesting to see that Burns got 48 at a run rate of 48.48.
    Well, not really I guess.

    West Indies v the Aussies going right to the wire.

    Starc just got 2 wickets in an over including Holder so has he put the tie towards the latter.    ​

    With little reason.

    Yorks are a shadow of what they were.

    Somerset’s squad hits that blissful sweet spot of not good enough for England but too good for the Champo.

    Roy back to his powerful best and Buttler still dominating on one leg.

    Going to be an England win but credit to Shakib for another impressive innings .

    Hopefully, Buttler hasn’t done his groin.

    Brutal muscular shot & immediate sharp pain.

    I only watched fleetingly from 4pm,in between the tennis but I was very impressed by how cheery the Bangladeshi fans were.What a contrast to some of the England fans in Portugal.

    India looking pretty solid - scoring runs at the top and bowlers being very tidy.

    Australian bowling attack reassuringly lightweight after Cummins & Starc.

    Unfortunately, Hazlewood & Lyon will be back for the serious stuff.

    Sounds like rain might be the main winner over the next few days.

    I guess if all teams are affected in terms of losing out on points then its not so bad...    ​

    Depends who you are dropping points.

    Missing out on wins vs Afg & Bangladesh could be fatal.
