6.30pm: Play abandoned, the stands have emptied and, with the covers still being pulled on, the umpires have bowed to the inevitable. Sri Lanka scrapped hard with the ball and have so far kept the first Test pretty even – which is to their great credit, having been 6 for 3 and then 113 for 7 on day one. England will be eyeing a bigger lead than they currently have, chiefly through Jamie Smith, when play resumes tomorrow. Let’s hope the weather plays ball. Thanks for your comments, we’ll be back for more in the morning. Bye!
