A Changing of the Guard - at least temporarily

 Anna has a date with a mouse so James has agreed to reem the worm.  Thanks James for taking on this critical task, try not to fall asleep at the pole.

England sure weren't asleep today as they easily beat Sri Lanka by 26.  England were at the bat first and with Buttler putting up 101 no out they reached a total of 163/4 for Sri Lanka to chase.  3 wicket haul for Hasaranga.  Sri Lanka just could not bat today I'm afraid, Englands bowling was just to strong, they went all out after 19 overs 26 runs short.  Until today only 3 out of 16 games had been won by the side who batted first, so well done England on beating the odds.

I also beat the odds!  I have been having some seriously good luck the last few days and I surged past my entire family.  How's it feel to have the baby in the lead?  Feels pretty good for the baby I'll say.  Will it last?  Who knows, I'm only a golden duck away from doom.  Henry has also had a nice surge, finally taking down his eldest.  Join me at the top Henry, we'll go for ice cream!

Tomorrow its Bangladesh / South Africa and Pakistan / Namibia

Good Luck
