ENG vs SL 1st Test live match timings
The England cricket team will face Sri Lanka in their final Test series this summer. The Three Lions will play a 3-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting on Wednesday, August 21, in Manchester.
Fresh off a morale-boosting Test series victory against the West Indies last month, England will be without star player Ben Stokes and opener Zak Crawley, both ruled out due to injuries.
England and Sri Lanka both teams announced thier playing XI for the first test before the toss. For England, Ollie Pope will be replacing the injured Ben Stokes in the leadership role, while Sri Lanka handed pacer Milan Rathnayake his first test cap.
While Brendon McCullum’s men are in good form, they won’t be taking the Sri Lankans lightly, as the visitors also secured a 2-0 Test series win against Bangladesh in March.
Since then, the Lankans haven’t played red-ball cricket but are in fine form, having defeated Gautam Gambhir’s Team India in an ODI series last month.
