Sri Lanka dismissed for 208 on the first day with Lyon taking five wickets. Apparently that pitch is already turning a mile so the decision to include Swepson’s proving to be the correct one. Lets see if our blokes have gotten any better at playing on a turning wicket…..

Edit: 212, not 208. LOLz

Such a bonus having Green in the team, makes it a lot easier to play two spinners.

Oh Uzzie. What have you done? Smith staring daggers at him from the sheds. I’d take my time walking back to the pavilion if I were you Uzzie.

Run outs are never fun. When I was playing there was a guy in our team who used to run everyone out. The only person that was happy batting with him was me, we always seemed to know what the other was doing. We were both bowlers but batted at 7 and 8.

I heard the score at one stage was 1-75 so I was disappointed to hear we lost 2 more wickets by stumps. UK has to make up for that run out by getting a very big score.

I think the umpire was trying to delay the inevitable. A couple of horrible decisions, thank goodness we had the reviews.

Only five runs to get and it's only taken 2 and a bit days.

Something tells me the 2nd Test isn't going to be much better.

We have to bat first for it to last more than 3 days.

Travis Head finished with 4/10. Holy ****.

And LOL at Warner for slogging a six to win it. I rate the disrespect. 😂
