England v Sri Lanka - 6th and 7th June 2011
On Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of June 2011, I visited Lords Cricket Ground for the very 1st and 2nd time to see England play Sri Lanka in a 2nd test series game. It had been rained off until Days 4 and 5 when I visited! England managed to salvage a great draw after the start of play at 1pm on Monday! Table of 1st and 2nd innings plus picture of 6th June visit below
