Mahmood to Sangakkara, OUT, got him! first Test wicket off his 12th ball. Pushed across the body and Sangakkara was caught at the crease and just pushed at it and Trescothick swallows the chance in the slips

24.4 = Mahmood to Samaraweera, OUT, Gone! full, fast and pitches on the off and middle line, nips back in off the seam and the batsman just falls over on the forward prod and is caught plumb in front!
26.1 = Mahmood to Dilshan, OUT, suicidal! hits to left of mid-off and runs but Mahela is not interested and Hoggard throws it to the right of Jones, who keeps his cool, lunges to his right, gathers the ball and removes the bails.
26.2 = Mahmood to Kapugedera, OUT, Got him! another one bites the dust. This is amazing stuff here. Full, swinging in and the young Chamara Kapugedara has no answer to that. He gets his left foot across and is beaten by the pace and the late swing as it crashes onto his pads. full swinging yorker length and Kapugedara is gone off his first ball in Test cricket.

The umpires get together for a discussion on the light. It's increasingly getting darker and the light offered to the batsman who take it. Off they go. A great day so far for England.

Considering the fact that England can choke easily in the final innings, if Srilanka can somehow give them a target around 150-175, the match could become interesting.
