00:00for jimmy anderson rings the bell for the start of this game all change for england of course in
00:07the interim ben stokes has suffered a hamstring injury so ollie pope leads england for the first
00:14time today he lost the toss about half an hour ago dan and jay de silva his opposite number
00:21opted to bat first on what is a a coolie
00:29england wearing black armbands of course now some wonderful reflections
00:33on the life and career of graham thorpe in the build-up to this game option they chose to take
00:39i think myself is the right option yet i agree with you um i think in the absence
00:44oh
01:06oh he's nicked that hasn't he surely yes there's a little sound the short ball
01:11karuna ratner looking to pull through the leg side and just gets a very fine
01:17edge through to jamie smith he's a bit unlucky actually because if he gets any
01:22good catch joe roots that full length that we were asking for from chris wokes brings
01:42some late movement and a loose drive from madushka balls loose
01:48oh well there's enough happening to keep england's bowlers interested right now that
01:53there is a little bit of oh now oh he's given him height might be an issue here
02:01it certainly looked very straight wokes is a bit wide on the crease it nipped back
02:05angel
02:18back foot punch not timed will only be a single
02:21hey
02:28they're just coming off this ball now and it's a perfect breeze for wokes as well there is
02:36another sign that's a good stop from wokes at wide mid-off it's the most annoying sign as a
02:43batter good fielder and you go all the way back to 19 pound players i don't think it's a technique
02:49oh nicely played just opened the blade and gets his third boundary all in that area behind square
02:58on the offside driven nicely who's all men
03:08boy what a beauty now has it come off glove or forearm i think he's walking
03:17gracious me that is a fantastic delivery from mark wood 93 miles an hour and that extra bounce
03:24and it's swing later in the match potentially from the square the problem is
03:30width and absolutely hammered
03:34and chandamel is gonna get any width that's what he's going to do
03:38saying how hard the square is here old traffic
03:47well using the pace and there's plenty of it from mark wood to run that down the third man for four
03:58but he didn't actually get the to try and run the ball back to if you can
04:07just work nicely with the pace and the space on off or outside often play
04:17oh that's kept really low and that is unfortunate
04:22chandamel to stands with hands on hips basheer stands with hand over mouth
04:29in the disappointment to go upstairs
04:32um yeah that's nice and that will skip across the surface here at old trafford
04:41there's a quite a bit of rain yesterday and that might be just one of the reasons
04:50brain it's well played and it needed to be because it was absolutely honing in on leg stump
04:59that's the 28th over bowl today cricketing to colombo schools
05:07yeah we've already seen it so far today it's a shot that he enjoys playing comindu mendis
05:17the feather through to jamie smith he won't drop that so after getting hit for four through the
05:22offside wokes fights back and picks up his third that change of angle isn't it change of angle
05:32his first look at the looks likes it
05:37rides the ball up and over handy runs
05:53i'm going to pick up on something that i think we need to
06:01well the more you've made me think about it i think you
06:07oh what sort of a shot was that well it's a shot to get you out he got in a right
06:12tangle there did jai surya so the short ball ploy has worked spectacularly well
06:18for ollie poke for gus atkinson and for england yeah add to that pitch matt make that 13 wickets
06:25which nicked it with the ball pushed up excellent bowling from atkinson hostile
06:33by and large with the exception of that no ball which was marginally above shoulder height it was
06:38short
06:45will play some shots pops can do nothing about that that's powerfully struck
06:53yeah he's got to do this
06:58nicely controlled once two won't get
07:01that would put the golfers are putting up a problem
07:07oh gosh a very uh solid blow from dan and jay to silver against the breeze we talked about the breeze
07:20down the pitch and over mid-off this time so back-to-back boundaries
07:24for sri lanka's captain dan and jay de silva
07:32the bowler changes but the plan remains the same
07:38they kind of went a little bit sort of above each way
07:44it's well played really well played by rath naika
07:48and that's a very good shot to get you out of that
07:51really well played by rath naika and that's a fine shot
08:02it's around the wicket if you drag it down that can be the result excellent shot again
08:09go on got him off spinner to right hander with a leg slip you're in business
08:15the silver can't believe it he's fallen into the trap
08:27nicely played saw him on furler good pull shot and
08:35well he tried it but it
08:40really didn't
08:41so another good looking shot a drive this time
08:54well for his half century from a half century of his
09:02it's in the air for a short while but past mid-wicket
09:05it's a little bit quicker out of the hand from basheer
09:18duck it won't get there
09:25how he goes he gets it over wokes and that is a terrific way to bring up your first test match
09:32half centuries had a fantastic day so far milan rath naika
09:48there is that low skiddy abounds from root with his round arm action
09:56now was that a bottom edge or did he hit the ground this will be a dish where fernando has
10:01not scored up and over will it go all the way yeah
10:16yeah and i want to bomb the seam is on
10:21swung away into the leg and other than some pigeons there's nothing out there
10:25nearly nearly foxed courses that england won't come out anyway
10:35goes again this time doesn't get it over england do have the breakthrough it's a decent catch from
10:40chris wokes running back taking the ball high above his head and basheer's persistence has
10:45paid off pope's persistence has paid off
11:00i reckon that's it
11:03we've come a long long way down ollie pope the skipper
