While I nip off for some breakfast, here's Matt Henry to take over...

Another series. Another top-order failure from England.

If you're just waking up, England are five down against Sri Lanka at the end of the morning session.

They lost debutant opener Rory Burns and number three Moeen Ali in the third over before a little partnership of 62 between captain Joe Root and Keaton Jennings.

But the aggressive Root managed to york himself to Rangana Herath and was bowled, Jennings was bowled for 46 and Ben Stokes played a poor sweep shot and also had his timbers knocked back for seven.

England now have Jos Buttler and debutant wicketkeeper Ben Foakes at the crease.

It’s been an absolute shocker, with some poor shots all the way round.

On a ground where every run is crucial England are throwing it away at the moment.

Jennings played well and Burns was unlucky, but otherwise too many players have got themselves out.

No shortage of action in the opening session! Five wickets, 16 boundaries, two burned appeals...

Akila Dananjaya zips one through, Ben Foakes close to tickling it behind. No worries in the end. Jos Buttler then squeezes a shot away for two through the off side.

Three clocks, three totally different times in Galle. We are going to get at least one more over in before lunch.

Ben Foakes is hit on the pads, a mile outside his off stump, but that doesn't stop keeper Niroshan Dickwella from a guttural appeal.

Not even close to being out. Foakes looks good, so far.

Mike Bryan-Jones: This 1st session of the #SLvENG, external match is the perfect representation of what is wrong with England in Test cricket currently...some of the dismissals are embarrassing

Mark Davison: Yet another imbecilic dismissal from Stokes. Sick and tired seeing him show annoyance with himself after being made to look stupid. Very overrated player.

Played, Ben Foakes. Watchful as the ball lands right under his helmet. Middle of the bat, soft hands. Pushed away. Yet another maiden though.

Just 10 minutes until lunch in Galle, about an hour before breakfast in the UK. Another maiden from the Sri Lankan spin duo. Dilruwan Perera the fastest Sri Lankan to 100 Test wickets.

Rangana Herath was given a guard of honour before coming out to play in this, his final Test. England's batsmen have given Dilruwan Perera a similar route to their stumps.

That shot by Ben Stokes was really poor. He was actually bowled on middle stump, just got it all wrong. Rangana Herath tickles an edge from the bat of Ben Foakes, who surely wouldn't have expected to be batting quite yet. It doesn't carry though.

The music played in Galle when that wicket fell sounded a lot like Bronski Beat but I refuse to believe that it was. Niche.

Ben Foakes has replaced Ben Stokes which at least means they are not batting together, a commentating nightmare. Chris Woakes is thankfully not playing either.

Foakes is off the mark on debut.

Sri Lanka lost both of their reviews in the opening 12 overs so they can't appeal that one. Think Ben Stokes was safe anyway...

The 100 is up for England, Jos Buttler crunches one to the fence. Lovely shot.

Who else is there Kevin? I'm all for Trescothick or Gooch padding up but who should be opening for England?

Kevin Ticehurst: How many more chances are we going to give Keaton Jennings?! He isn’t good enough for this level, and yet again has proved it once more.

Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, not exactly two men for a steady rebuild. England could be all out before you've had your breakfast. Or they could have 250 up.

Either way, I doubt it will be dull.
