Was the ideal offsider for Kuhnemann, twirling down a top class spell on the first day and then persisting through plenty of sore spots to harry Sri Lanka and Angelo Mathews into errors on day three. Had a huge workload due to the selection of only three specialist bowlers, but as he put it, “I’ll rest when I get home”.

Took a couple of wickets with his off spin, made handy runs again and also took a couple of outstanding catches. Webster is an estimable cricketer who is getting the most out of himself. Will be useful in England in June.
