104-5, I've woken up and seen Jennings (who got 46 at a good rate) make a mess of cutting a straight one, then Stokes make a mess of a lap round the corner. Sigh. Track doesn't look like it's ragging either.
I think i turned on the same time as you Edge, saw the reply of Jennings get out and then Stokes, i literally thought oh here we go same old.... but to be fair Buttler and Foakes have dug in and played well.
After watching the highlights of the morning my thoughts -
1. The pitch hasn't turned as much as thought put will surely get worse
2. The outfield looks very slow and shocking so will bring the scores down
3. Sri Lanka's fielding is awful
4. Jennings was actually lucky to make 26 let alone 46, you can't just score square of the wicket, ultimately it will be your downfall
5. Burns was very unlucky
6. Mo is not a number 3 - but we knew that
7. There is a fine line between 'looking to score' and 'being reckless'
