First Test: Sri Lanka v England in Galle, 6/11/18.

[meninblue]

First ball 4 for Dimuth. Slightly lucky buy all along the ground besides the fielder

[meninblue]

Jimmy extracts an edge 2nd ball of the innings. Regulation catch for Foakes.

4/1.

[meninblue]

Excellent over by Jimmy. Probed the off stump line consistently .

7/1 with the lucky 4.

[meninblue]

Sam with the new ball. 3 slips.

[meninblue]

Not a bad over but needs to improve line to be more efficient.

[meninblue]

Jimmy gets 3 slips and gully as well. Deserves this field the way he is bowling

[meninblue]

Kaushal trapped LBW by Sam. Over the wicket and moved back to the rightie and hits the back foot. Didn't play the movement at all. No chance. Well bowled.

England were 10/2 in 2.4 overs. SL are 10/2 in 3.3.

[meninblue]

Very lucky. Kusal edges one slightly wide of 3rd slip while trying to do well left. Good over by Sam.

[meninblue]

Another edge. Luckily goes past 3rd slip. Good one by Jimmy. Kusal is struggling.

[meninblue]

Finally two convincing back to back boundaries for Kusal off Sam's over. Both middled well all along the ground.

28/2 in 6 overs.

[meninblue]

One slip removed. 2 slips for Jimmy. With two edges going past 3rd slip , it's a bad tactic IMO. Should have kept it for at least 2 more overs.

[meninblue]

Jack into the attack 8th over of the innings. Good control over the ball. Nice land length in very first over.

[meninblue]

Another good over by Jack. Good line and length, bowled at normal spinners speed. Seems like he has a stock ball. Key if he has to bowl 35-40 overs an innings like Swann and Monty did in Asia.

[meninblue]

3 good overs by Jack. Settled as if he had bowled couple of overs before he started this spell.

3 overs 2 maiden 1 run.

[meninblue]

Interesting to see how Joe handles spinner. Should be given at least 9 overs spell here.
