Cheers

Seems a high quote when a side is put in , but as no wickets have gone down, they are probably right

Guess they will be expecting the sun to come out

Reading Cricinfo, it seems a very attritional session so far

Would imagine England will be happy not to have lost a wicket in he first hour

we'll see some more adventurous cricket now with compton coming in

50 up for England

Hales looks relatively comfortable and he's only nicked one or two to the slips (obviously not taken)

Root come in

feels like this is a big partnership for England.......If Joe can get in and Hales can avoid that nick to slip they can score big !

not sure they are winning it yet

when you win the toss and choose to bowl i always think you need to be looking for 3 wickets in the first session with the new ball

time yet for the 3rd tho

49 - 0 good then we let it slip.

Cook wont be happy with his get out shot to that wide ball.

Can't blame Compton it was on a good line and he had to play the ball. Still its not good to see a strong start let go.

Told you Sri Lanka got a decent attack, wouldn't go far as jayasuria but they are quite dangerous.

bet you're pleased Prasad is injured..

Sounds like he's just pitching it up and letting the batsmen do the rest....

Apart from Compton the others have given their wickets away Vince is a newbie but the rest really ought to know better !

England hahaha

Why they stuck with Compton is beyond me. He was rubbish first time round and he's not any better now

Must be just written into English cricket that we must have some sort of collapse in most test matches!

Least Hales and Bairstow are sorting it out so far.

With the speed Bairstow reviewed that , I thought that he must have thought he hit it, hotspot said no BUT JB was right as it was missing leg

Successful review.148/5

We must have been confident, England picking a fair few non form batsmen. Vince is a wildcard, but apparantly he looks relaxed so maybe that got hm a pick?

It makes for a competitive series.l, though I am pleased that they have stuck with the reality of Bairstow being a fine test batsman whilst Butler is, for now, not.

It's funny because all of the talk before this has been about how England should easily beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in this series

How many years is it now that we have consistently had problems at the top of the order? 3 or 4? How much longer until it is sorted out?

One word...Hameed!

It's not a question of if, or even when he'll play for England, just like Athers it's a question of when he'll captain England.

Lad's a long way to go yet and can't burden him with expectations, but unless there's a catastrophic dip in form/technique, England's top order is sorted by 2018.

Thrasymachus, I think we were getting closer to sorting this matter out. The selectors had tried Ballance and Lyth and they both had a fair go. Also there was the matter of too soon discarded players, in my view Pietersen needed to be persisted with but as a mere fan and not a player who had to work with and tour with him for months I've probably got a rose tinted view of him.

With James Taylors illness we have had ( scuse the pun ) the heart literally pulled out of our middle order. So with Compton and Vince they have this series maybe longer to stake or restake their claim to be in the side.

Anyway back to Leeds test where the over rate is sadly pathetic and barely creeping into the teens per hour.
