Great start

Shame they didn’t give Olly Stone a go though

And yes Bairstow once again. It’s like we’re incapable of just moving on from players who are clearly past their best.

Been gifted some wickets but that's what building pressure can do.

Stone and Wood have both had injury issues so only one at the most was going to get a go. Maybe he will get a go in the second test.

Shocking dismissal though.

Horrible way to get out. 3 for Bess and he's not even really bowled that well or taken a decent wicket

Wow Sri Lanka are gaaaaaash

This is how we usually play in the opening test of a series. Incredibly abject. Just need to finish this off then bat well.

What a run out!

They've had a bit of rotten luck as well though. A good shot brings a wicket

Bess 5fer

Terrible terrible wickets all of them

That must be one of the worst 5fers you'll ever see! Bess won't care though and he'll be buzzing when he gets a chance to bowl again which hopefully won't be until at least day 3.

dont get me wrong that was awful by Sri Lanka but you would think seeing all the talk that they would have got way under 100 runs.

There were some good shots at times but the methods of dismissal were mostly poor and they've now got the record for the lowest 1st innings at Galle so that sort of shows how awful a score it is...






Until we go even lower

One of the worst batting performances ever.

Good bowling display overall, bit of a shame to lose an early wicket though.

In Crawley's defence, it was a shot which brought him a lot of success against Pakistan however he needs to be able to adapt to different pitches especially slower ones.

Sensible little partnership from these two so far. Hopefully they can keep going for the final hour regardless of how many runs scored.

Good partnership so far, can Root and Bairstow both survive this last hour or so.
