Ian Bell's 100th test.
Alistair Cook "Something needs to be done because for three years as England captain I have been criticised".
BBC's Jonathan Agnew "Do you think it's personal?"
Cook "I think it is, yes."
Captain Cook has cracked. Brickbats (and bouquets) come with the territory. Shane Warne (best spin bowler I've ever seen) has as much right as anyone else to give an opinion, and calling Cook's tactics "boring" is hardly a violent attack. If Warne puts on Twitter "Leaving Sri Lanka to get 390 in 90 overs? PLEASE!" then I think most of us can see where he's coming from. I suspect now that Cook has just made things far worse - all defensive fields or a lack of imagination will be scrutinized even more thoroughly.
Weather seems OK for Headingley for the weekend, Monday's early forecast is mixed.

Don't get thrown by the "10 overs left", if they want to bowl 12 by 7.04pm, they can. 39 minutes left.
Moeen has earned his place for the next two years whatever happens for me

yep no way he can be left out after this
Would laugh if Sri Lanka won this in the last over
Will Moeen Ali make a Century ? Yes 1.04 v 20 No
You won't believe this - Anderson traded just now for £24 for top bat (is he going to get the 100 needed all by himself?) 
going to stick my head out and say SL win this in the last over of the day
CONCACAF and COMNEBOL teams having a great World Cup
2nd longest 4th innings at Headingley in Test cricket history.
tbf you don't deserve to win if you can't get the number 11 out despite having 9/10 overs at him.
I guess key is to keep anderson off strike for the final wicket
don't want to state the obvious but shouldn't SL have won this by now - why leave it to the last couple of overs?

oh and I got a free £100 bet with Ladbrokes.com to come
so I have to bet £100 to get the free bet so I bet £100 on Belgium...they play like sheite but score near the end so nom I have like £215 in the bank now so I lay England for £100 at 3's and I win another £100!
and I still got a free £100 bet which will be on either Columbia or Cote D'Ivoire!
and the ECB lose as far as I am concerned not England, Team England lose....Bankers!

where you crying after the close of the sri lankan second innings jimmy?
Big girls blouse!
I would have eaten that for a win!

seriously it was a French cricket situation and if it doesn't hit the bat but hit's your body who cares....brain dead dickwad! deserves to lose!
england were incredibly lucky to let it get that far, and today's close finish should in no way make up for some of the hideous mistakes they made earlier.
Seriously though Moeen should have knocked a single and kept the strike.
alistair cook has been magnificent today?
quite peter.
he wasn't on all the field all day, so couldn't make any mistakes.

Disgusting interview from Peter Moores, has learned absolutely nothing from this debacle.
Alistair Cook said ' bloody ' on the telly - that's a firey as he's capable of getting. Can't believe he hasn't resigned, a Adam Ant would say ' can't captain, can't bat - what can you do '
shame after such a stalwart inns 4 hashim amla 2 finish on the losing side!
Didn't believe it but I also joining ladbrokes today and put £100 on Ali getting more than 71.5 at 5/6 and won, and then got a £100 free bet, which I stuck on Columbia at 2. nothing to lose. AND THE BEST PART WAS IM NOT A NEW CLIENT, I JUST USED A NEW EMAIL ADRESS !! HAHAHAHAHHAA

Brief comparison of England's last three coaches' home test defeats:
Duncan Fletcher 1 defeat vs Aus 2001 (who to be fair were a pretty good team) out of 14 home series
Andy Flower 1 defeat vs SA 2012 (not as good as Aus 2001, but still a good team) out of 10 home series
Peter Moores 3 defeats vs India 2007, SA 2008 and SL 2014 out of 5 home series
Good chance Moores will reach 4 out of 6 before the end of the Summer
