Really tough challenge playing Sri Lanka in their backyard - Williamson | Daily News

Karunaratne said that experienced off-spinner Dilruwan Perera who is on the injury list will miss the first Test at Galle.

“He is still injured but the physio feels he might be fit for the second Test that’s why we have named him in the 22. We will see how our spinners fare in the first Test and if we feel we need a change we will consider Dilruwan for the second Test. Otherwise we might rest him for the New Zealand series and pick him for Pakistan,” said Karunaratne.

Cribbage probably quite pleased to hear that Dilruwan injury news tbh, because I know he was enjoying and rating Akila Dananjaya's bowling in the recent Bangladesh ODIs.

Ajaz has comprehensively outbowled Somerville on what appears to be a road. Gunathilaka played lots of reverse sweeps while scoring at a decent clip.

Southee nicked out Samarawickrama on 12 I see (made 80), they spent a couple of minutes checking the no ball. Then another couple of minutes checking a tight flick back on the boundary. Watling and KW starting getting chirpy about all the officiousness when all they want is warm-up overs before it rains.
