bar heroics from colly and jones

which is unlikely against murali in this form.
Good series for england though, rather un-important and a good chance to blood some youngsters and get an idea of what they can do.
Good lessons for flintoff too for the future.
Goes to show though that we need Vaughan, Jones and Harmison back for the ashes. Giles possibly, unless Monty works miracles with his batting and fielding.
The lankans tail has effectivley won them this match with the runs their last 3 wickets got in both innings. Compare it to ours and it shows the importance of the runs giles et al can get.
