Sri Lanka recovered from 6 for 3 to 236 on day one at Old Trafford as Shoaib Bashir and Chris Woakes took three wickets apiece before Dan Lawrence and Ben Duckett survived to reach the close at 22 for 0.

The Cricketer's chief correspondent George Dobell and staff reporter Oscar Ress are joined by Mark Machado from the Murali End podcast to answer questions on the ECB's worry about one-sided Test, should Sri Lanka reverse their batting order and whether Ollie Pope can be his own captain.
