Is he in the ground Larwood?  Or is stood on the fort watching from there for free rather than paying the extortianate entrance fee?

After the start we had really should have been looking at knocking them over for about 250. Jayawardene brought them right back into this.

A big let-off for the Sri Lankans.

Hopefully we perform with the bats this time, though I think Bopara's absence will be felt.

I think Patel was the right choice .... 

In the recent one day trips to India and Dubai he has played spin as well as anyone.  Plus an additional spin option in those conditions was handy as shown by his two wickets.

Agreed. Getting a bit concerned about Swann though. Looked very ineffectual today.

Agree about Swann.  If he was getting no wickets but keeping it tight then fine.  But he went for nigh on 4 an over.

When the summer comes though and its back to one spinner he will get the nod due to his better batting and fielding over Monty.

I do hope this isn't going to be a repeat of the Pakistan series.  Doesn't look good...
