CWC - NZ v Sri Lanka

[Donsteppa]

Perera on 31 off 14 trying to do a Maxwell for his top order batting companions.

[KiwiMurph]

Let's not bowl Southee again for a while.....

[Donsteppa]

Time to chuck the ball to Lockie.

[Donsteppa]

70/3 off 7.4 overs. Something for everyone...!

[Canes4life]

70/4 now. Great review by Boult.

We need to get Perera out.

[Donsteppa]

Perera on 51 off 25 in amongst carnage at the other end.

Angelo not timed out today.

[Canes4life]

Perera gone. Took the bait from Ferguson's bowling.

[Donsteppa]

Lockie removes the dangerous Perera. Sri Lanka on track for a rapid collapse to take the weather completely out of play.

Bowl out Trent and Lockie's overs early to keep the pressure on?

[Donsteppa]

Think he will get this CricInfo note for a while...

I'm not sure of the logic of a part time keeper in a tournament where wickets at a premium.

Part time keepers are a pet hate - if you are a good enough batsman play as a batsman.

Assume Tommy has had some issues?

I've dumped Foxtel and not picked up Kayo, so am relying on you guys to keep me updated.

And it's nearly time for bed ...

I blame Alec Stewart for starting the trend…..he was a terrific keeper though

2 drops. One of them he gobbled a chance the very next ball.

[Donsteppa]

Kind of Sri Lanka to agree to play T20 styles, in light of the weather forecast...!

[Canerbry]

Nothing fucks you more in the Fuckworth-Lewsless than losing wickets.

[MajorRage]

Worst. Review. Ever.

[booboo]

125 for 8 according to Google.

I'll take that at bed time.

See you on the other side. Fingers crossed.

[NTA]

Sri Lanka's form across this tournament has been ordinary so this is no surprise.

[KiwiMurph]

Rain still predicted so this batting may not yet be in vain
