00:00A coolish morning bit of cloud cover, but a bit of sunshine as well as you can see
00:05And a pitch that as ever here at Old Trafford feels pretty hard underfoot
00:11Welcome mark butcher. You did it once here, and then we drop next game
00:16Did a bang-up job
00:22From a bowlers point of view
00:30First positive stroke from Karunaratne who leans into a drive or a push through the offside
00:46Good cricket so far, looks solid, taking opportunities though to turn over the strike
01:05Oh he's nicked that hasn't he? Surely yes, there was a little sound, a short ball
01:12Karunaratne looking to pull through the leg side and just gets a very fine edge through to Jamie Smith
01:22Got him yeah, good catch Joe Root, that full length that we were asking for from Chris
01:30Wokes brings some late movement and a loose drive from Madushka
01:34Oh now, oh he's given him, height might be an issue here, it certainly looked very straight
01:42Wokes is a bit wide on the crease, it nipped back, Angelo Matthews leaving the ball alone
01:47Has been trapped in front, given out, he's gonna review it
01:51Now original decision is out, the ball is pitching outside of the impact is in line, wickets hitting
01:57Bad leave from Angelo Matthews, good decision from Paul Rifle
02:06It's been flayed away through square cover, outfield slow, very green and lush
02:16Wide of the crease, maybe it was the footholds, punched nicely through
02:31a straight mid-off, won't go for four, they should get three
02:35Really good, worked off the hips
02:53Played late and just opened the face of the bat, Kusumendis moves into double figures
03:00And the second boundary of the morning, that one a bit more streaky, an edge
03:11Hurries away for four, Levenover's done 25 for three
03:18That's leg side, that was the first one he strayed onto the pads
03:22And he's just tickled that fine Chandamal for his first boundary
03:26Nicely played, just opened the blade and gets his third boundary
03:35All in that area behind square on the offside
03:41Driven nicely, Kusumendis has looked to attack, he's looked positive
03:47What a beauty, now has it come off glove or forearm, I think he's walking
03:59Gracious me, that is a fantastic delivery from Mark Wood
04:0493 miles an hour and that extra bounce and it's hit him on the bottom hand
04:10And in the end a pretty simple catch from Harry Brooke
04:13He's got strapping on that hand anyway, that won't help
04:18Shot, very good shot
04:22Delivery had no venom but it was
04:26Very efficiently punched down the ground and the running in the end was good
04:33Width and absolutely hammered
04:37And if Chandamal is going to get any width, that's what he's going to do
04:40Effectively tucked away leg side for a couple
05:00Well using the pace and there's plenty of it from Mark Wood
05:03To run that down a third man for four
05:07Have to work a bit harder now
05:11That's a nice line and length and
05:15Sometimes you just accept that as a fielding side and you gleefully grab it as a batter
05:26Probably be a couple to end the 19th over Sri Lanka move to 61 for four
05:34Just work nicely with the pace and the space on off or outside off stump
05:47Oh that's kept really low and that is unfortunate
05:51Chandamal just stands with hands on hips, Bashir stands with hand over mouth
05:58Original decision is out
06:00Ball pitching outside off, the impact is in line and wicket's hitting
06:08Day one of the test match here at Old Trafford
06:11And we've got a daisy cutter for the fifth Sri Lankan wicket
06:20Atkinson falls in behind this one
06:30A little tempter above the eye line
06:35And Kendu Mendis was more than happy even though it's getting close to that lunchtime hour to go
06:41After it
06:45Yeah that's nice and that will skip across the surface here at Old Trafford
06:50There was quite a bit of rain yesterday and that might be just one of the reasons
06:54That restricted that from going for the boundary
07:00Yeah we've already seen it so far today and it's a shot that he enjoys playing
07:04Kamindu Mendis and why not when you play it so superbly well
07:12The feather through to Jamie Smith he won't drop that so after getting hit for four through the
07:17offside Wojcic fights back and picks up his third
07:25Rides the ball up and over handy runs
07:30Off the back foot square drives it for four
07:39Nicked it with the ball pushed up excellent bowling from Atkinson hostile
07:44By and large with the exception of that no ball which was marginally above shoulder height it was
07:49short ball will play some shots pops can do nothing about that that's powerfully struck
08:00Well Dan Angea is happy to trust his partner and that single takes him to 50 and good time too
08:11Cut away beautifully waited waited waited lovely shot 128 for seven
08:19Lovely shot only a hint of width from wood and Ratnayake has punished that through point
08:28its first boundary in test match cricket
08:34A very solid blow from Dan Angea the silver against the breeze we talked about the breeze
08:41and the drift and again that ball started to drift and he's got to be careful not to
08:47And again that ball started to drift towards slip
08:53Down the pitch and over mid-off this time so
08:57back-to-back boundaries for Sri Lanka's captain Dan Angea da Silva
09:05And for the Yorker a slightly over pitched Ratnayake does well
09:18It's well played really well played by Ratnayake and that's a fine shot
09:32Because round the wicket if you drag it down that can be the result excellent shot again
09:37Oh that's wonderful he's played some fabulous shots through the offside but
09:41that pull shot to a delivery that didn't get up a massive amount
09:48Go on got him off spinner to right hander with a leg slip you're in business
09:55Off spinner to right hander with a leg slip you're in business
10:03Oh what a delivery
10:10It's an inquiry as to whether there was something on that
10:14Keep going keep going and there's a gap between the bat and the ball flat line as it passes
10:21But I'm satisfied there's no bat involved and let you know when you're on screen you're on screen
10:33Nicely played saw him on furler good pull shot
10:38in the afternoon session off Mark Wood who's appreciably quicker than Gus Atkinson
10:42Another good looking shot a drive this time and although the outfield is slow
10:52well I thought it might beat the fielder to the boundary but it hasn't
11:01High he goes he gets it over Wokes and that is a terrific way to bring up your first test
11:08match half centuries had a fantastic day so far Milan Rathnayake
11:16Now was that a bottom edge or did he hit the ground this will be a difficult one to work out
11:24Did he hit the ground
11:30And there's a gap as the ball passes the bat in the flat line I'm satisfied there's no bat involved
11:36Back to Chris on field
11:40Yeah bats hit ground and ultra edge showing that the noise came
11:49Up and over will it go all the way yeah
11:52think it has they're going to have a look at it umpire already signals six
11:57That's a very pleasing shot from Rathnayake again he has shown real batting ability
12:07Swung away into the leg and other than some pigeons there's nothing out there
12:12and it does go for four you take the wickets anyway
12:18Goes again this time doesn't get it over England do have the breakthrough it's a deep
12:23This time doesn't get it over England do have the breakthrough it's a decent catch from Chris Wokes
12:28running back taking the ball high above his head
12:31and Bashir's persistence has paid off Pope's persistence has paid off
12:41Well that's not the best delivery that show Bashir is bold this test match
12:46Chuck down the leg side buys against the keeper
12:48Smoked down the ground a slog sweet that has gone through a very straight mid-on for four
13:04I still think it's
13:09A run out gone I reckon that's it
13:14You've come a long long way down Oli Pope the skipper
13:23Up and over and there is your answer we're not leaving balls at the start of the innings whether
13:28it's seam or spin
13:35Take the single as well
13:37Oh
13:43And off the mark straight away the best way to do it
13:52The call was too off the bat but they'll be uh risking it they turned and went
13:57Oh
14:02Oh mix up mix up a direct and I think he would have been gone instead they can just casually
14:14Their favorite shot of Ben Duckett works very well square of the wicket to spin
14:20There's the top edge that Kuma Sengakara is just speaking about but it's gone exceptionally fine
14:26I'm seeing that the outfield here just because of the weather around in Manchester
14:35And just like that once in a while to go for boundary about Jaisurya searching for something
14:40extra something more and has been put away beautifully by Dan Lawrence
14:49You
