Chandimal's fitness will be a concern for SL tomorrow or later in this series. Not sure how serious it is but be rested once today after he was limping while chasing the ball. Also fielded in slips after he came back for fielding. Was also limping there. Hopefully there will be no rain tomorrow.

looks like England got out of jail today.
Debutants benefit from being unknown, of course, but a good start for Foakes after coming in with England in trouble

I've been saying for a while that England should be playing Foakes. Glad that he's done well. I'm sure he'll get bumped for Bairstow the moment YJB is fit again though.

Flakes just scored, what is colloquially referred to as 'a proper Test innings'
"It has been said of the unseen army of the dead, on their everlasting march, that when they are passing a rural cricket ground the Englishman falls out of the ranks for a moment to look over the gate and smile."

Ball isn't turning much yet. Think England have got the best of batting conditions. They would be very glad to see so little turn in Asia. Advantages of batting first in Asia.

Foakes on 95. Should add another 5 easily over here. Not much for Bowlers.

Jack dismissed by Dilruwan. Regulation catch to Akila in slips.
330/9.
Foakes ton in trouble if Jimmy gets out soon.

Third slip comes in as well as another fielder making the inner circle. SL might hold a team meeting with so many players so nearby.

Foakes on 95, one wicket left, and it's Jimmy. 
Hope he can get a ton, but however it goes, a fine debut.

Out on 107 in attempt to score quick runs with the last batsman out.
342 all out. IMO England should have got 400 here. The 60 odd runs can be very crucial once ball starts to spin. Still nothing in wicket to worry batsmen.
