Dhananjaya de Silva says the pitch looks dry and may turn later in the game; a cheery Ollie Pope says England were “probably going to bowl first” but that it will be a good pitch for the first half of the game.
Both were announced in the build-up to the game. Dan Lawrence and Matthew Potts return for England; Sri Lanka give a surprise debut to Milan Rathnakeye. Most people expected the rapid Lahiru Kumara to play; maybe Rathnayeke is a better horse for the Old Trafford course.
