First innings runs vital just like the last test the pitch will only turn more

Hugely impressed with Butler since he came back, seems to have a good team attitude unaffected where he bats and comfortable with his own game

And he plays a lovely sweep shot!

Boring but in tests it’s what is required from your top 3. That’s the beauty of the formst, roles for all style of batsmen

Obviously

Stokes should be unleashed at 5 or 6 to do what he does best and take teams apart. Not used to do the donkey work at 3

Not sure why Buttler didn't talk to Foakes about that one

will be interesting to see how we bowl and SL get on with it.

Massive toss to win. Is that 7 in a row for root in tests?

230 looks like a good score already.

IF England can get to 230/250, I suspect that would be a competitive score if the ball is turning already.
Just hope the wicket stays lively and deteriorates!  ;) Although these are the kind of wickets that Sri Lanka are more used to batting and bowling on.
Home advantage in these conditions will at least make life intertesting.

This kind of thing is bad enough normally but when you've got Gareth Batty preaching the Surrey gospel on the radio as well... give it a rest ;)
