Matters not. They choked horribly. Does England take the 'chokers' crown? :(

Not sure if England will force Jimmy Anderson into retirement after this.

The old players normally have to make way after disastrous performances like England in this Ashes.

Pretty sure they'll hold on as long as they can. They don't have clear replacements lined up for Anderson and Broad. Mark Wood is injury prone. Joffra is potentially a good test bowler, but he's also an all-format player and his heavy work load could have contributed to his current injury.

Anyways, Anderson averaged in the low 20s last year, so he's still performing.

Sri Lanka need 269 runs from 40 overs.
 
Excellent leadership so far from Temba. We've lacked a very strong leader since Greame Smith.

With due respect to AB and Hashim Amla (brilliant players but weak leaders), Faf showed signs of being a strong leader but other times got things wrong.
