#AngeloMathews #slvseng2ndtestday1 England tour of Srilanka 2nd Test @ Galle 2021 Mathews' solid century headlined the opening day of the second Test at Galle. He showed SL the way after Anderson nipped out Oshada and Kusal Perera in the fifth. Chandimal and Thirimanne played good hands, backing up Mathews. Angelo Mathews speaks to the host broadcaster: Unfortunately, the openers got out early and we had to take our time. The wicket was flat and it was hot, credit to the England bowlers. They gave nothing away. I got into a rhythm in the last innings in the first Test and so if I got a good start, I wanted to make it big. With this covid-crazy rules, we are in a hotel room in a bubble and life is not easy. Even though we are 229 for 4, we can't give it away tomorrow. If this is this hot tomorrow, it will start turning. We don't know what a good score is - we will try to get as many as we can. Mickey (Arthur) had a chat with me [before the start of day one], asking if I can bowl. I have been bowling in T20s and if we bowled first I was ready.
