Scorecard: Sri Lanka vs England

40.6

Asitha Fernando to Jonny Bairstow. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to short mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Mendis. That’s stumps on Day 1. England has scored 127 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 41 overs and they still trail by eight runs. Currently, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root remain unbeaten with 47 and 66 respectively. This is England’s highest partnership for any wicket at Galle. For Sri Lanka, Lasith Embuldeniya bagged two wickets to his name. Sri Lanka will look to slow things down and contain England. Join us on Day 2. Until then, Cheers!
