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.
