Yes, Stokes won’t be back until Pakistan at the earliest, but Stone will come in for Wood in the likely event of him not playing the second Test

Ian Bell philosophical about the ball change, don’t have a problem with changing balls when they get a bit misshapen, but a wider variety of balls more similar to the one just refused in terms of shine would be useful 
King Kane
International Regular
Steve Harmison ringing the bell to start play, I didn't realise he played for Lancashire, I thought he played for Durham, good to see him again though.
It would also be good to see Sri Lanka set England a challenging target by adding a couple of hundred runs today, even one hundred would be good.

All on these two really, because there’s not much batting to come at all

At least theyr playing, but can they finish things today before the rain comes as Sunday could be a washout? And news about wood is a bummer too.

Going into this innings, only Kusal Mendis of the Sri Lanka top 7 didn’t average 40!

Knew there was a reason but he looks to be the future of SL batting

WINVIZ has SL to win at 28%; considering Wood injury and some shooters occasionally on this pitch, think thars a bit low.
Silver Silva
International Regular
He's not a top order player , he's always been comfortable in the no.5 & 6 position domestically but right now those spots are held by Chandimal and the captain DDS who have close to 30 Test hundreds between them ..

Mendis looking like kicking on after being given a life yesterday, unlike de Silva and Mathews
Silver Silva
International Regular
His average is back over 100 now in Test cricket , I wonder what's the most amount of test matches a batsmen has had an average of 100+ before it dipping, excluding the Don of course.

Eh? They're at three seamers after one got injured after day 3, they went in with four (against popular opinion in this thread)

I would also add the following
Don’t dislike Woakes per se & I know that he’s a top class operator at home but it’s seems like the ideal season to try the next generation of quicks (if there are any & available)
The guy is 35 and hardly a guaranteed selection outside England

Brook and Voges would be two recent ones to compare
