Where:Galle International Stadium, Galle What to Expect:Despite some wet weather in the city over the past week, two days out from the match the pitch looked, as expected, dry. There will be spin on offer as a result; the question is how much and from when. Generally, the first two days are the best for batting in Galle before the spinners take charge. While the temperatures and humidity will be high, the current forecast shows the chance of rain on all five days of the Test. Team News Sri Lanka Sri Lanka will hope to welcome back the experienced trio of Mathews, Chandimal and Lakmal to their side after all three missed action in South Africa because of injury although Lakmal still remains a doubt given his lack of preparation time. Elsewhere, Lahiru Thirimanne was recalled for the second Test in Johannesburg and could keep Kusal Mendis out of the team while all-rounder Dasun Shanaka impressed in South Africa and is likely to keep his spot as the seam-bowling all-rounder. Possible XI:Dimuth Karunaratne (C), Kusal Perera, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dilruwan Perera, Lasith Embuldeniya, Suranga Lakmal England In the absence of Rory Burns, on paternity leave, Jonny Bairstow is set to return to Test cricket after an absence of a year at number three with Zak Crawely pushing up to open. With Moeen Ali ruled out, the bowling line-up is probably going to feature three fast-bowlers alongside the spin of Dom Bess and Jack Leach. Of course, England could pick one of their younger spinners, Matt Parkinson, Mason Crane or Amar Virdi, from the reserve list although this remains unlikely. Possible XI:Dom Sibley, Zak Crawley, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Curran, Dom Bess, Jack Leach, Mark Wood, James Anderson What they said "Compared to the 2018 series we have a better chance this time, because there's no Jofra Archer or Ben Stokes and they are missing a few other players. We just have to play our normal game and do what we usually do in Galle," Niroshan Dickwella is confident in Sri Lanka's chances against a depleted England "They are good in their own conditions. It's a very different style of cricket, you have to be ready to play the long game, face a lot of spin, the heat, it's always going to be a tough test. People say they've just been beaten but in their home conditions, we'll have to be on top of our games," Chris Woakes on the challenge facing England over the next two weeks Squads: Sri Lanka Squad: Dimuth Karunaratne(c), Kusal Perera, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Niroshan Dickwella(w), Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dilruwan Perera, Lasith Embuldeniya, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera, Roshen Silva, Vishwa Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Minod Bhanuka, Ramesh Mendis, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando, Oshada Fernando, Lakshan Sandakan England Squad: Dominic Sibley, Zak Crawley, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root(c), Daniel Lawrence, Jos Buttler(w), Sam Curran, Dominic Bess, Jack Leach, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Ben Foakes, Olly Stone #ENGvsSL#1stTest#Live TOPICS COVERED : ENG VS SL ENG VS SL live SL VS ENG live SRI LANKA VS ENGLAND live streaming ENGLAND VS SRI LANKA 1ST test live ENG VS SL 1ST TEST LIVE
