In the previous Test match at The Oval, played from September 6 to 9, 2024, Sri Lanka secured a convincing 8-wicket victory over England.

The visitors outplayed the hosts in all departments, with their bowlers making full use of the conditions and their batters chasing down the target with composure.

There is no way we can catch up with England, the way they are playing currently not watching this!!

Eng scored 156 all out here in 2nd innings but Pope as captain hits 154 in the 1st innings.

2nd innings Pathun Nisanka hits 127 not out & SL won by 8 wkts

Is GG ready for another humiliation..

Eng already scored 100

Now I'm glad India won 1 and one was a draw. Else it would be worse.

Crawley out

B Prasidh

C Jadeja

IND 224

ENG 134/2 (22.2)

CRR: 6

Day 2: 2nd Session - England trail by 90 runs

Akash Deep to Pope, no run, appeal for leg before is turned down, good length delivery just outside off, nips back in sharply and catches him on the top of the front pad, was always going to be too high

STAT: Joe Root now has 2000 Test runs against India at home. Only Don Bradman has a higher aggregate against an opponent in home Tests (2354 vs England).

Most runs at home venues in Tests

7578 - Ricky Ponting in Australia

7220* - Joe Root in England**

7216 - Sachin Tendulkar in India

7167 - M Jayawardene in Sri Lanka

7035 - Jacques Kallis in South Africa

Eng--175/3
