Sri Lanka will be relieved that theyve kept England under control for most of the day. Still 310-6 is not a score to be sniffed at and promises much for us as we go into day 2.
Not the most exciting day's play. England are in a pretty good position. Sri Lanka did OK, better than the predictions of folk who totally wrote them off, they took some excellent catches.

they still need to bat, their strong suit is their bowling and in particular pace bowling and that says something when you think sri lanka pace bowling is the best thing about their team.
SL have lost a couple of bowlers and still bowled pretty well today. Batting? We'll see. I wouldn't be putting any money on them getting a big score but I suppose you just never know....
A good solid days play yesterday but Root is beginning to worry me - his failure to turn half centuries into centuries is becoming a problem - a problem of course that many players would love to have - if they averaged 54.46!
I think that Jimmy and Stuart are going to cause absolute mayhem again when we are finally bowled out.
