ENG vs SL 2nd Test Day 4 Highlights 2024
Transcript
00:00You
00:13Clipped away nicely down the slope start the day with a couple
00:23Close only question is height. No was the answer
00:30Here they pull
00:33Pitching outside leak get you back on screen. You can stay with your rituals. You're on screen
00:38Yeah, good decision on field
00:41from Paul rifle
00:44That is the workload of international cricket interesting to see what they do with him at the oval obviously is home ground
00:54Edged and down
00:57Rude, I think it is a first slip. Yeah
01:00Spilled one in the deep already in this game two good catches yesterday, but this one has gone down
01:11Quite up was there an edge England think so Joel Wilson doesn't
01:21Just keep it going keep going run it right back out again
01:30Well a touch confused
01:35Edge
01:36taken
01:37Good catch from Harry Brooke moving away to his right and low and England get their first here on day four
01:51Matthews off the mark Sri Lanka 61 for 3
01:55Swing for Atkinson and a good pinch single
02:05The shot through extra cover Atkinson with attempts are outside off stump Marina Ratner has dealt with that
02:13And now pulled away firmly through straight mid wicket pick the length so quickly
02:20Edged away and into the gap Lawrence have been placed there. He was just a little too wide
02:27It's a big gap
02:34Between him then the slips and the slips positioning also sometimes can then alter
02:39Be very careful in terms of that and it creates gaps balls run through
02:50Just a dead bats pick outside edge and for
03:03A good single quick single takes Karuna Ratner through to a small personal milestone
03:0950 not out from 98
03:17Runs now for Angelo Matthews down towards third man. This one won't go to the fence
03:23Now satkinson will cut that off, but they'll scamper back for free. Oh my goodness me. That's tight a
03:30a
03:34Nice shot
03:36Good use of the bottom hand from Angelo Matthews showing intense. I'll be positive against
03:42Sherwood Bashir you would think a
03:48Very solid sweep shot from a very good player
04:01And
04:04Sharp in the outfield Matt Matthew Potts was out of deep cover that side
04:13Now is there an edge down the leg side a little glove there is
04:18And Karuna Ratner who's played really well for 55 can't get his hands out of the way of
04:25Quite a fast ball from Olly stone that seemed to kick off the surface and really bounce and surprise Karuna Ratner
04:37Well, that's gone fine of like slip though
04:45Nicely done by Dinesh Chandni Mahal just leaning back punching away off the back foot the ball running up the hill
04:54Oh
04:58Holy stones not gonna chase this one and I'll leave it to show it bash here
05:02But I'm not sure the young spinner will catch the ball up
05:20Goes after the first one and there's space through that cordon
05:25And it was full it was wide and that's not what Sri Lanka needed if it went to hands
05:30But they'll certainly take the boundary. Oh
05:34And passed the trap was set and it almost came off
05:42Lying which is straight
05:44Oh
05:48They'll go up the slope here at Lords and find a boundary to finish off that over from this year
05:59Sweeps and it's in the air and again, I don't think the sheer will mind chandamal sweeping
06:04I
06:11Just tried to adjust things here did Bashir just give a little bit more outside the line of off and chandamal is up to it
06:22It's in the air, but he's confident to do so because there is plenty of space through the offside
06:27Oh
06:34There's one beating the outside edge it goes flying past route and he's fast after it
06:49Past the slips cordon. They were in wait. Oh
06:53Oh
06:57Where is that shot come from?
06:59Absolutely. Nowhere. He'll find the boundary and that will be frustrating for wokes and for England
07:05It won't be though for chandamal because he's brought up another half century on English soil
07:15And there it is and there's the catch as well
07:18Brilliantly set up by Bashir
07:21So brave in the approach kept the field up said to Matthews if you want to try and go over the top
07:27There's the ball for it
07:32Cries a catch it and it's aerial chandamal is going to continue to be positive
07:39Oh
07:43Close he bends his knee afterwards. Has he got outside the line?
07:48It was a bit of an afterthought in terms of the knee bend trying to push that pad outside off stump
07:57Looks like it might be an inside edge. Just go back one frame
08:01So we've got bull beside bed. No gap with a spike. I'll go back on ground to Joel
08:07You're on screen
08:11Well, that is the tiniest of scratches on the inside edge I
08:17Don't think the ball has reached the bat for that mark
08:20We'll catch that. No just over the head
08:23Just over the head of mid-arm
08:32Close
08:34Did it carry
08:38Down and Jada silver wants to go over mid on
08:42Quite happy to punch that nicely and comfortably off the back foot. We have chased down the slope
08:49Careful down there Matthew Potts Oh
08:55Short legs in the game
08:57Atkinson has the breakthrough
08:59Yet again, it's the ball sliding down the slope nipping down the slope
09:05Oh
09:08Goes down the ground and he hasn't got it out in the middle of the bats, but he's got enough of it to pick up four
09:22Gone good catch went sharply to bend duck it
09:25Around the wicked angle has worked for Atkinson and England come in do Mendis gone
09:35Off it goes, but
09:37The fly slip is very fine. Harry Brooke. So
09:41Good looking shot from Dan and Jada silver
09:48Terrific shot from Dan and Jada silver just stand and deliver. Oh
09:58It's over duck it
10:00Yeah, they're all spread about there on the leg side that two men either side of duck it are back on the fence at fine leg
10:07and deep square
10:11And I take it on first to the leg side now to the offside that's a quality stroke
10:18Beats duck it again all along the ground this time good batting from Rath Niaka who takes his third boundary of the over
10:31Hard sweep there's no one square of the wicket. There's a deep mid wicket
10:36Excellent batting on the Sri Lankan captain
10:40And finer could go away for a boundary that slowing up
10:48You have to check that I think Brookes done well
10:52Pulled and pots puts in a dive but can't save the boundary
11:11Oh
11:23Full and there is no one in front of square on the offside like I showed us in the first innings at Old Trafford
11:30He can bat
11:34Now is that sneaking down on the angle don't think it's straightened enough
11:42You get Joel
11:44Pitching in line and picks in line
11:47What gets missing?
11:48Well, that's eight reviews now from Ollie Pope and eight unsuccessful reviews he can just smirk away
12:01Was there anything on that just buys or was there a little tickle buys given
12:13He's got runs because of an exceptionally solid technique
12:19Oh
12:22There's that punch again down the ground not a full flourish doesn't need to be
12:33And with that punch and a sharply run free the captain gets to 50
12:39Or
12:44The line was straighter the length of this the same the result is a boundary
12:55It's flown and once again this test series Joe route for all his class
13:02That
13:08Was in the air and it was it
13:16The silver started well, he got to half a century still looking at the pitch as if to say what have I done
13:27Just back of the length setting himself up I think for that shorter ball it got up around
13:32bail height
13:35And as eager as Ollie Stone is to drag that back in
13:43He knows he loves to drive so he's going to try and set him up in that kind of area
13:52He does go short and he gets clobbered
13:56Well, this is a battle between
13:59The two bowling all-rounders now you could say between England and Sri Lanka I
14:07Heard a noise Gus Atkinson heard a noise and that means yet again
14:13Gus Atkinson goes up on the honor board here at Lords
14:19He's taking some punishment there from the hero Kumar who's absolutely thrashed that through the offside
14:29High
14:31It goes pots
14:34takes the catch
14:35stone correction takes the catch and
14:39England have the test match they need conditions to be like this
14:43They need batting lineups to make them work hard. They've had to do that here on day four at Lords
14:50That's the final wicket the final catch
14:53Slow ball skillful bit of work from wokes and a good bit of thinking
14:59Simple catch for stone. You just have to track back about five yards
