First test of the summer kicking off in about half an hour, looking forward to this, I love having test match special on the radio in the studio. I've got tickets for a couple of days at lords in a couple of weeks.Think England will win the tests but not the 50 over games, not sure about the points system for the tour though, might add a bit of spice to otherwise meaningless games.

Quite tedious stuff so far, 28-0 after 15 overs, no real chance of a wicket so far for the visitors. The openers are seeing off the new ball with relative ease.

If conditions remain the same I would imagine that wickets will continue to fall at a steady rate.

Nae updates from the end of the first test as I was a bit pre-occupied by something else! England win the toss and will bat first in the 2nd Test.

Sri Lankas approach to this game will be interesting after the mauling they got in the first test. Very much a team in transition. Looking at the conditions I'm a bit surprised England elected to bat first.

Decided to take the day off and take advantage of it being £20 on the gate today at Lords! Looking forward to a days drinking hope the Sri Lankans can make a good fist of it today.
