18:00 Local Time, 17:00 GMT, 22:30 IST: Day 1, Stumps. An interesting day of Test cricket that was. England had a dream start earlier in the day as Atkinson and Woakes removed the Sri Lankan openers in successive overs and the two pacers got a few more wickets following that. Sri Lanka were reduced for 113/7 in the post-lunch session, however, de Silva and Rathnayake played pivotal knocks to give Sri Lanka's total some respectability. Shoaib Bashir was also amongst wickets as the off-spinner claimed three wickets in the 23 overs he bowled. England couldn't bowl pace due to poor light conditions in the final session, however, their spinners finished off the tail by bowling in tandem. Sri Lanka couldn't bowl pace either and England managed to score 22 runs in the 4 overs of spin they faced before bad light stopped play. We'll be back tomorrow for the live coverage of Day 2, but the weather forecast isn't promising. For now, it's a goodbye from our side..

17:53 Local Time, 16:53 GMT, 22:23 IST: Sri Lanka want their pacers to bowl, but the umpires are not allowing that. So bad light stops play for now. Don't think the conditions are going to improve much as the players are already back to the pavilion. The two umpires are waiting in the middle, but think the official confirmation will come soon. If the players don't get back on the field by 18:00 local time, that will be stumps..
