England bowl first as Sri Lanka hand debut to Ratnayake

England won the toss and chose to bowl first against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Lord's on Thursday. Sri Lanka handed a debut to left-arm spinner Tharindu Ratnayake and made one other change to their side. Jofra Archer returned to the England XI after injury.

Harry Brook opted to chase after inspecting the pitch. The match marks England's first Test of the summer following their 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan. Sri Lanka arrived in England after a mixed tour of Australia.

Both teams have made adjustments to their bowling attacks. England are without several frontline options while Sri Lanka continue to blood younger players ahead of their home summer.
