Today the second test match between England vs Sri Lanka team was held, today's game is the loss of two wickets in the first innings of the second match of England team. Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence these two players got out very easily, the most trusted batsmen of England team but they did not perform well in this match. They performed well in the first match and with the exit of these two players, the England team is definitely under a lot of pressure.

The England team lost two wickets back to back in the start of the game. One wicket they lost in the 6th over and the second stumps broken in the 9th over. But the first opener Ben Duckett was playing well and he scored good for the team that helps the other players to manage the game with discipline.

England’s team are batting at 173 runs for the loss of four wickets. By the way, the England team are going to be the master of the test matches as after every other month their test matches series come. Wink

This is their third test matches series after the World Cup[ that has passed on 29th June.

The England team is batting in the first innings today in the second test match between England and Sri Lanka. England are leading in the Test series, so Sri Lanka in this Test match will have to play according to the importance so that they can face England. Although in today's match Sri Lanka team is bowling well against England due to which they managed to take 4 wickets. England team batsmen did not bat well only Ben Duckett he got out with 40 runs in 47 balls, moreover all other batsmen did not bat well rather they gave poor batting performance. Joe Root is in good batting form for England if he gets out then surely the number of runs will decrease but if England put up a good score it will be tough for Sri Lanka in the next day.

England performed well and won the first Test match against Sri Lanka. But in today's match we did not see a better performance from England's top order. Sri Lanka team won the toss and decided to field. And England lost the wickets of their experienced top order batsmen quite quickly. The England team lost the wickets of 4 experienced batsmen to collect only 130 runs. At the moment, England has collected 147 runs, losing four wickets.

We know the pitch at Lords is batting friendly for the first few days. And gradually it becomes very difficult to bat on this pitch. The pitch becomes completely bowling friendly especially on the fourth and fifth day. So if England want to dominate the match then they need to collect big in the first innings. At least 300+ must be collected by England's batsmen. Joe Root remains unbeaten with 49 runs. Root and Smith are now at the crease. Both are very talented batsmen. England will collect big if this pair can stay at the crease.

Srilanka Vs England 2nd Test Match

Today is the 2nd Test match between Srilanka and England. They have played two test matches before first was the tour match and after that they played the first test match. And in both matches England showed great performance and they are looking still strong. And I think they will play well in this Test match which is going to start today. Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.

You will not underestimate the Sri Lankan team as they having a good batting line and bowling line they are able to beat England. As everyone knows England is very tough to beat at their home ground but this things is possible to do so. 1st session is going in the favor of team Srilanka as they took 3 wickets.

If the wickets continue to fall like this then surely this match will be very competitive as the Sri Lankan team lost the first match. So the Sri Lankan team has the biggest chance to come out of the losing shell in this match, if the Sri Lankan team can put in a good bowling performance to take their team forward.

- Free entry won't matter much unless spectators are interested. In the good old days, Pindi used to set the stage on fire with jam packed stadium but it's not the case anymore as far as test cricket is concerned due to various reasons.

Agreed! The Rawalpindi crowd was energetic in the past few test series, but in the 1st test match, the majority of the stands were empty. I think the Pakistan cricket team's bad performances after one another might have fueled this behaviour.

I wasn't referring to a recent home series per se (last 3-4 years, in the context of full house) but a decade back or so.

Even with the recent series against SENA countries Pindi hardly saw any significant attendance. Political turmoil is part of it but I won't go there, apart from that pitch did play a big part. I will blame the brain dead management, Rambo (Ramiz) mainly because he started this and ofc lousy performance from the Pak team didn't help their cause either. They failed to win any match in the last 8-9 test matches.

^^^ There are some updates for the next match between Pakistan and Bangladesh from the Pakistan side.

1 – The first-day entry is free for the students of Pakistan, VIP, Low class what ever they want.

2 – Another green pitch is here in Rawalpindi, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam were checking the pitch today and they understood how to play in this green pitch.

3 – Abrar Ahmed, Aamer Jamal, and Ghulam have been picked for the second test match from the Pakistan team. Abrar Ahmed and Aamer are really good option while Ghulam also has its importance. Abrar Ahmed and Jamal have the greatest history in the test matches.

There is a political agenda behind this move of allowing students free entry into the stadium on 30th August. The outside world may not know but Imran Khan, the former Captain and Prime minister of Pakistan who has been in prison by the establishment for around two years, the students federation has put a call on 30 August (the first day of the test match) to launch a students protest. This is inspired by the recent brave Bangladesh students who helped the country get rid of corrupt politicians.

The PCB chairman who is part of the government has made this tactic to divert student's attention from the protest but these things won't matter because we will take independence one day from our corrupt politicians and our corrupt army.

This sounds interesting. If this is a political move, I think such moves will not help the Pakistan Government's cause of holding Imran Khan supporters. Pakistan's political landscape is not looking good and they have border tensions with their neighbours. Things are not good for either Bangladesh or Pakistan on political fronts.

But I think it will not be easy for Sri Lanka to turn around against England team. If we look at the score of the last test, if Sri Lanka can perform bit better then nothing is impossible in cricket. If Sri Lanka's top 4 batsmen can perform well, their scores will increase which will help the team in good position. We saw England fall by five wickets in the last match. Had Sri Lanka scored more in that position, it would have been tough for England. There is a big difference between England and Sri Lanka in Test cricket rankings. If Sri Lanka not show very good performance then it will not be easy for the Sri Lankan team to win any of the test match of this series.

Before Sri Lanka, England cricket team played a Test series against West Indies where they won the series. Similarly, they are currently performing well in Test matches against Sri Lanka and have already taken the lead in the first match series. Let's observe the performance of the first test match between these two teams. It can be said that the Sri Lankan batsmen's performance in the first match was fairly good, not too good. They were able to improve a bit in the second innings compared to their first innings resulting in a few more runs in the second innings. Sri Lanka cricket team will need to improve on their batting and bowling performance in the first Test match against England to win the second match. Moreover, it may not be possible to win against England.

There is a difference in ranking between these two teams just as there is a difference in performance. According to the ICC Test Ranking, England team is at number three with 3679 points and 108 rating whereas Sri Lanka is at number 7 with 1501 points and 83 rating.

The 2-innings game took four days to complete and the equation was that both teams would have to complete the remainder of the game in one day, so naturally everyone assumed that the match would be a draw. Chances were high that it would probably be a draw and the chances of either team defeating the other was very low but the Pakistani batsmen could not settle on the wicket on the fifth day and there were more positive points for Bangladesh as Bangladesh batted ahead of Pakistan in the first innings.

Most of us thought that. I believe the crickets also felt the same thing. But we should know that these things happen in the cricket game. I don't know if the wicket changed on the last day or if it was just another batting collapse. Sometimes, the wickets get cracked on the fourth or fifth day, and there is a rule not to repair the wicket during the match.

Sometimes, Bangladesh fails to score on the most beautiful wickets, which are batting-friendly. Nobody knows what will happen in the next match. I hope the batters will show their character. Mushi won't be able to perform every day. Someone else has to take the responsibility.

Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.

England are leading the series by 1-0 and there are high chances that they will make it 2-0 by the end of this test match. If Srilanka is able to only draw this test, i would consider it an achievement for them. In the last test match, the Srilanka team were quickly out at 236 but made an improvement in 2nd innings by making 300+ runs. Similarly, in bowling, they were able to take 5 wickets for England at 200 runs.

Things were looking better for Sri Lanka at the end of that test match but it was too late for them to come back. If they can contiune that form, maybe they can give surprise to the England team but right now all the odds favour England to win this test.

It is difficult to beat England on their home turf. If Sri Lanka takes the wicket of Joe Root early in the inning they will have a chance in this test match. The problem with the Sri Lankan team is that their top order has not performed in the past few games. Their middle order worked hard to get them some runs in the last few games. If England bowlers manage to take the wickets of the Sri Lankan de Silva, Chandimal, Mathews, and Kamindu Mendis in quick succession, things will get difficult for them. Kamindu Mendis is an excellent talent and performed in many pressure games. I expect a good game of cricket as I think Sri Lanka will improve their performance in this test match.

Another thing that we might be missing here is that the two grounds are different and therefore we can't expect a similar performance by both the teams. From England point of view they are playing at their home ground, so they know about the pitch conditions but the Sri Lanka team will have to adjust according to the pitch. This match will be played at Lords while the first test was hosted at Manchester.

Another interesting fact about this venue is that Sri Lanka hasn't lost any test matches against England here. They lost the test in 1991 and then won in 1998. After that these two nations met 5 times here and in all those matches the result was a draw. Interesting:

Does that means that Sri Lanka will perform good on this ground?

The second Test match between Sri Lanka and England will be played today. We have seen the first test match won by England team in a grand manner where Sri Lanka team lost. So today's match we can hope Sri Lankan team will play well and try to improve their game to win against England. Although I think England team is strong and they can beat Sri Lanka very easily if they play with their strong performance. Moreover, England team is currently ahead in the Test series by winning the first Test match in the series, so if Sri Lanka has to come close to winning the series, then it is very important for them to win this match today. And I think this second test match Sri Lanka team will definitely improve their game performance and try to beat England. All in all, this Test match between the two teams will be played brilliantly to win and win the series.

In my point of view in the last match SriLanka gave a tough time England like we can see SriLankan team played first inning and they made 236 runs. After that England team made 358 runs means gave a lead of 122 runs. And in the second inning SriLankan team played little well and they made 326 runs. Means they gave a target of 204 runs. But here is important thing is that when England was chasing this target so they lost 5 wickets. So that is the point means if SriLanka gave a target of 304 runs so they have chances of winning.
So this means they have chances of winning in today match to. By the way this is too early to guess. So let's wait for the match end

- If not wrong then it's the same pitch as the first match and given they finally added extra spinners in the squad gives you some indication about the pitch but again 1st test pitch was supposed to a seam friendly but it turned out to be highway so maybe having a balanced squad won't be bad choice.

But I was seeing the victory of Bangladesh in this match because firstly Pakistan is not so strong that they can win the match and secondly Bangladesh was play with good perform and their bowlers were putting a lot of pressure and I was very I am happy that my prediction has come true. Yes, but it was not that much better because Bangladesh is not even a weak team to lose a match against a team like Pakistan. Pakistan batsmen neither play with good efficiency nor with fast pace which is why they lose these matches. Bangladesh should be congratulate for this win and Pakistan should emphasize their performance.

No one expected Bangladesh to win, to be honest. The Pak bowling was horrible. They conceded close to 600 runs in the first innings, and that too against a weak team such as Bangladesh. Mushfiqur Rahim almost got himself to a double century. None of the bowlers had a good outing, including Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. And it was perplexing to see Agha Salman bowling 41 overs in the first innings (and conceding a total of 136 runs). That destroyed their morale, and then they got bowled out for just 146 in the second innings.

Right, No one could even guess that Bangladesh can win this match. If you look at the history of hundreds of Tests in the past, you will never see such a victory for Bangladesh. How easy the match was lost by Bangladesh while this match was completely under the control of Pakistan but we could never have imagined that history will be created by dramatically all-out Pakistan in the last innings. If Pakistan could have spent two more sessions in the first innings then maybe Pakistan could have drawn this match but due to Pakistan's wrong decision this match has to be lost to Bangladesh.

The 2nd test match between England vs Sri Lanka will about to start some hours later at Lord's Stadium in London. In the 1st test match, both team played well. Although Sri Lanka did lower score in 1st inngins, 236 runs only. where England did 358 runs. Later in 2nd inngins, Sri Lanka able to crossed more than three hundred runs gallery but due to lower amount of runs in 1st inngins, england easily surpassed the total Targeted runs and won the match. In the 2nd test match, i can see a possibility for Sri Lanka. Dhananjaya de Silva, Milan Priyanath as well as Kamindu Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal showed good performance. If they can do well again then Sri Lanka can make good amount of runs. Although England already a strong team they also have talent player like Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Joe Root and many more. England has possibility to win but i feel excited for Sri Lanka how they are planning to face England in the match.
