Sri Lanka win toss and bowl.

Looks like good bowling conditions. Great to have test cricket back.

Cook gone for 16.

[Frankenhooker]

Cook goes for 16. Poor shot really, England were looking really comfortable against an ordinary looking attack. 49-1.

[Frankenhooker]

Blah. Compton goes without scoring. Sport can get to fuck.

Compton gone for a duck.

[Joe Strummer]

"Only 28 runs scored in the first 15 overs in the first hour of the first morning. Last night in Bangalore, Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli helped Royal Challengers score 211 in the same number of overs. Some might feel that T20 is eating Test cricket alive. Others might prefer to celebrate the diversity of a sport that can produce two such contrasting scenarios."

 

Know which I prefer.

[Frankenhooker]

Know which I prefer, and it isn't the game Gayle plays.

Fucks sake - Root now.

What the fuck was that Root ? Three down. Ho-hum. Shanaka with all three on debut.

Good knock by Hales. He seems to know where his off stick is at the moment.

[lifetime fan]

50 up for Hales.

[Trumo]

Well this is fucking cheering me up after last night.

 

Who knows, they might actually show up for the second innings.

Cracking shot from Bairstow.

[Spy Bee]

Bairstow looks like he's playing a different game.

He's timed some fucking brilliant shots for singles the last few overs.
