1) NEW LOOK ENGLAND SIDE: There are three uncapped players in the England squad taking on Sri Lanka.
Following the retirement of Andrew Strauss, captain Alistair Cook has a fourth partner to open the batting with in Sam Robson. Chris Jordan, who impressed in the one-day series against Sri Lanka, also joins the four-man pace attack of Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Liam Plunkett, who returns to the England side after a seven-year absence.
And Moeen Ali replaces Graeme Swann as the spin option. Even though he is predominantly a batsman, he believes he can make a difference with the ball in his hand.
"I think a lot of people haven't seen me bowl in the longer format so hopefully I can surprise a few people," he said. "If I just be myself, bowl how I bowl, I'm pretty happy no matter what the outcome."
