'Offie' Dom Bess records his best in career so far[/caption]
Sri Lanka, batting first after winning the toss, made a mediocre 135 all out in mere 46.1 overs --the lowest by Sri Lanka on their first innings ever in an otherwise victorious venue for the hosts-- just before tea on the first day of the first cricket Test against England in Galle on Thursday (14).
Stand-in skipper Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with a 71-ball 28. Angelo Mathews made 27 while Dasun Shanaka batted out for 48 balls for an innings of 23.
England off-spinner Dom Bess got five for 30, his second five-for in Tests, while Stuart Broad got three wickets for 20.
