DRINKS BREAK. The general saying is that the first hour sets the tone for the day. In this case, for the series. India have been positively watchful, not being too defensive and looking to punish the bad balls. It's England who have been impatient. They have not found much swing and when they have, just sprayed it around, not able to control it. Brydon Carse has been the only bowler to put some doubts into the batters' minds and this opening hour has been nothing short of waste by the hosts. Now, they face a tougher task with the new ball being seen off. What would be interesting to see is - given what they have seen so far, there doesn't seem to be much teeth in this English attack. Will the Indians do a 'Baz'ball with Baz watching from the opposite balcony?

We are all talking about India missing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But what about England? How badly will they miss James Anderson? Already without Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, with due respect, this current attack looks none better than the ones in the warmup games that India faced, with no real threat from any of the bowlers. Have to say, Jimmy would have walked with one leg to lead this attack, if he had not retired.
Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Put away with disdain! Not quite a half volley but in the zone and on off, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets on the front foot and shows the full face of the bat before playing a lovely straight drive back past the bowler for yet another boundary.

Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, That is a really sorry review from Ben Stokes. And one has to blame the keeper, Jamie Smith, for this. To the naked eye, it seemed to be going down the leg side and the Ball Tracking just rubs it in. Josh Tongue targets the fuller length and nearly slips in a yorker. The ball swings into the left hander. Jaiswal is surprised by the extra full length as he looks to dig it out but the ball beats his bat and hits him on the back leg. There is a huge appeal from Tongue but the umpire is still. For some reason, the keeper, Smith, is interested and after a discussion with the bowler and Smith, Ben Stokes goes for the review. Here's Ball Tracking. Remember - we said, Ball Tracking will rub it in? That's because the ball is PITCHING OUTSIDE LEG, that too, from around the wicket. That's how bad the review was.
Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, From round the wicket, on a length, moving away, just a touch, in the channel outside off. Jaiswal leaves it alone.
Amongst all the grounds in England, the length needs to be the fullest at Headingley to try and hit the top of off stump. That is why, we are seeing a fair bit of half volleys this morning. But additionally, the bowlers need to be careful to not overdo it, as on a good pitch like this, with the sun beating down, that is a recipe for disaster as the ball will just keep travelling.

Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ahh... impatience? Or just the modern day cricketer, trying to attack? The second point is not that bad, just that the ball was not too bad either. Yes, it was short of a length, outside off, but not all that wide. Yashasvi Jaiswal went hard on the cut but missed. Carse heard something but no one gave him support. Ben Stokes is off the field for now. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ollie Pope would be in charge for now but his DRS record isn't too promising.
Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, And now, a bit too straight. Rahul tucks it off his hips through square leg for a single.

A draw in Galle? Well, usually in Galle, Sri Lanka, Test matches don't end in a draw. They give one result or the other. But the way this opening Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh seems to be going, we might end up seeing 15 sessions, only to result in a handshake. Bangladesh's 495 was met by Sri Lanka's 485 and with the score reading 112/2 for Bangladesh with around 90 minutes to go for Stumps on Day 4, seems like a draw is the lilkeliest result.
