2. OBO legend Lawrence Booth's charity football marathon.

48th over: England 253-8 (Swann 5, Anderson 3)

41st over: England 231-5 (Trott 71, Patel 3)A peaceful transition from Dilshan, only two of them. Since Morgan 's departure in England have scored 17 in four overs.

40th over: England 228-5 (Trott 70, Patel 2) Almost another Samit special. He sent back Trott and Trott would have run, but for a desperate dive. "Match Swing System sounds like the perfect name for the Epic Doom Metal Ragamuffin post-shoegaze band I 've always been plotting to start last night when the entire city of Milton Keynes JLS kept awake by their smooth, X-Factor - Vice stylingz, "says Edmund King. "Revenge is a dish best served loud, with a Britpop fringes and skinny jeans. Oh yes."

WICKET! England 222-5 (Bell c Kulasekera b Randiv 4) Ian Bell 's bad series ends with a tame dismissal. He tried to return for Randiv took a few chips, but it hit too well, and Kulasekera at long on to catch a good operation. England must be careful that they don 't, well, make a total balls-up for it.

Morgan's classy innings ends at 57 from 60 balls. He walked down the track to Dilshan, who saw him coming and speared in a flatter, shorter delivery that turned past the outside edge. Sangakkara did the rest with Morgan well short of his ground. That was a good piece of bowling.

Mendis has changed ends, in fact. Sri Lanka might be letting the tortoise get away from them by not bowling Malinga, because England are moving serenely towards a match-winning total. Trott drives a single to reach yet another fifty, this one from 63 balls.

It'll be spin from both ends, with the legspinner Jeevan Mendis replacing Lasith Malinga. The next 10 overs will probably decide the match one way or the other. Morgan, watchful and boundaryless thus far, reverse sweeps a low full toss brilliantly for four. That brings up a careful and classy fifty partnership from only 54 balls.

23rd over: England 139-3 (Trott 29, Morgan 17)

Kulasekera has changed ends, replacing Prasad, and his seventh over goes for ten. Morgan, on the walk, clips the first ball through Malinga at short fine leg for three, and Trott crunches a bump ball down the ground for four. England are in a great position. "New service for OBO: Getting me a game of cricket!" says David Cotton. "Match called off due to rain, have only played twice this season, need a game Sunday in the Bristol area, anything considered!"

18th over: England 104-3 (Trott 9, Morgan 2) Prasad holds a further supply of low, with Morgan, as it appears on the bottom of the bat. The bounce should be more uneven as the game goes on, and if England reach 250 it will really fancy their chances. Trott brings sent last one hundred by flicking a short ball past backward square for four. "May I ask why iron Relia Bell is further down the order as Morgan?" Asks Ravi Nair. Morgan 's better just isn' t he? Bell is down by six, ghost. England don 't really produce day 6 and 7, which is why Luke Wright has had so many chances, is.

17th over: England 97-3 (Trott 4, Morgan 1) Kulasekera back, and his fifth of the cost of two. That 's at the end of a very special batting powerplay, also of England' s standards: five overs, 14 runs, three gates. "To do mashed potatoes, however, have greater adhesive properties," says John Starbuck. "It 's probably easier to scrape the skin and suck their fingers. All has meant that if you' re going to be hit in the face of someone 's dinner, a curry is preferable." I 'd like to see how Tony Soprano would have reacted if a curry Gloria have thrown at him as a steak.

16th over: England 95-3 (Trott 3, Morgan 0)

WICKET! England 95-3 (Pietersen c Sangakkara b Prasad 5)

Has a man with a one-day average of 50 ever been under as much pressure as Jonathan Trott? He gets off the mark with a single off Randiv, one of four from the over. "Was that Monte Alan Lynch of Guyana, Glos and Surrey - and three ODIs for England???" Aye. Run out without facing a ball in one of those matches, I think.

13th over: England 85-1 (Kieswetter 41, Trott 0) "Just on a bus to a cricket match and wondering who England's greatest ever one day player is," says Monte Lynch. "Flintoff? Gough? Jim Love? Thoughts?" Monte Lynch? Off the top of my head I'd go for one of Neil Fairbrother, Allan Lamb, Marcus Trescothick, Eoin Morgan and Darren Gough. A sly outside bet would be Nick Knight.

WICKET! England 85-1 (Cook st Sangakkara b Randiv 31)

10th over: England 75-0 (Kieswetter 38, Cook 25)

"I'm waiting to see this slow pitch" says Michael Holding as Cook slaps Malinga square on the off side for four more. It's certainly not the quicksand we expected, but it is keeping a touch low and it should get lower as the game progresses and the ball gets older. Cook punches three more through extra cover and then Kieswetter pings another boundary past point. This has been an ex

England win the toss and will bat first. It 'sa logical decision on a taut, nasty-looking place that will probably be harder to score as the game progresses. [Doom] Sri Lanka going to win, aren 't they? [/ Doom]

Team newsThe division should be slow and deep, so England have brought in Samit Patel for Stuart Broad. A fortnight ago, a secular Patel Twenty20 match wonderfully with an absurdly busy dismissal. Samit Play it again!

Sri Lanka to replace the injured Suranga Lakmal with another fast bowler Dhammika Prasad. Thilna Kandamby is also omitted, so that both captains were omitted Twenty20. The young opener Dimuth Karunaratne makes his international debut.
