England have to win the 3rd test to keep their number 1 ranking.
I don't think they will make any changes to the batting line up though for the next game.

I would happily drop Pietersen and Morgan if we had two players good enough to step in and make a difference straight away. Some pretty serious questions are being raised about the validity of Strauss' place in the batting line up as well. Worrying times because other than James Taylor (formerly of Leics, now of Notts), there is no one banging on the door!! Ravi Bopara would be a backward step for me, tried and failed. Thoughts anyone? |

All good shouts. I will throw Alex Hales and Samit Patel into the mix. The second may surprise a few but he is one of the better players of spin in county cricket.
The selectors have been consistant with their picks in recent years. So Bopara will get first go, I am guessing in Sri Lanka in place of Morgan.
So I think the batting line up will be unchanged for the third test.

Jos is nowhere near ready and I speak as a huge fan: same sort of issues to Morgan in that he'll get frustrated if he's not scoring. I think he'll get there, but much too early to go for him.
Difficult in the sense that there isn't a clear next cab off the rank: Hildreth took a bit of a step backwards last year. Wouldn't mind seeing Nash of Sussex or Bairstow perhaps, but there really isn't a clear front runner.

Great start by the bowlers.But they have done well in both the previous tests,really up to the batsmen to perform in this one.

21-5!!! Come on England! Now we need to finish off the tail and give our batsmen half a chance of securing us a lead!

All done for 99, cracking bowling performance, particularly from Broad who is now bowling like people have been telling him to for years.
Now, time for a batsman to make 100. Not happened on either side in the first two games.

Right batsmen, this is either a partial redemption or a new low coming up. We surely cant screw this up. Someone has to have a decent innings.
