[Cricket] First Test in Sri Lanka

[Perry Milkins]

113-5.....

So our normal start to a test series...

Good old Cooky is tucking in to his bacon and eggs just now feeling very relieved I bet.

Probably expecting the phone to go in the next couple of weeks and be asked to fly out as a specialist opening bat coach.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Now 153-5...

On the over I saw whilst having cereal it seems the pitch is gripping...

Now 154-5, Buttler and Foakes trying to restore some respectability

Well bowled, 166-6!

Seriously sounds like an absolute bunsen of a pitch. Foakes playing himself into a permanent slot with Bairstow opening?

There appears to be at least one mistake on this scorecard:

First of all, Keaton Jennings appears on it. Secondly, assuming that isn't a mistake, then the number next to his name certainly is, as it says 46.

[Moshe Gariani]

Great stuff from Foakes and Curran.

Only watched few minutes so no real idea about the pitch but 300+ puts us in the game regardless.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Well bowled by me, Athers and the drinks break... all culpable.

Can someone tell Rashid this isn't a T20 game?

31 off 31 balls faced pedestrian by T20 standards

 

[dazzer6666]

300 up, Foakes on to 84 and Rashid 31 off 31.

No-one told Sri Lanka that we have an inverted batting order

306-8

Rashid caught at slip

Wicket at the end of the day with Foakes 14 short of his Century - what is Leach like as a tail-ender?

Leach will cling on

Leach will cling on

Heard he can stick around for a bit, difficult to shift.
