When Mathews fell, Sri Lanka were on 232 for 5. All out for 381. Even on a pitch that isn't offering much, this has been a poor day in the field for England. A very expensive day. Over and over again over the decades, I've seen England do this, i.e. get their foot on their opponent's neck, and then let them off the hook.

bit harsh i feel with conditions and no or little cricket played
but we'll see if england bat through first press and dont through wickets away, but sadly you and i know whats going to happen

Root not pro active. Not a natural captain.

Well, yes, we do, but it bloody well shouldn't! If a pitch is flat and dead, it's flat and dead for both sides.
