Apart from one minute ten spell when a checked shirt ceased playing in Chelmsford Lahiru Thirimanne settles in a memorable friendly delivery model to secure his debut Test at the Rose Bowl the week next place of injured captain Tillakaratne Dilshan.
Once member of Parliament for Essex sitting over the sightscreen at the end of the River had said to get out of the line of drummer eye, there was little else to bother drummers Sri Lankan with Thirimanne and Kumar Sangakkara accomplished hundreds marking.
Thirimanne is not Dilshan when it comes to game, boost for England bowlers who struggle to keep their lines against attack can openers, but it has shown an ability to build a score survive scrutiny early against the swinging ball in only his second match of the tour.
Dilshan was ashore with his fractured right thumb covered in a blue bright strapping, a sign, he believes that its Test series is completed.
The Sri Lankan management have not given up hope and will have a final check of the injury before making a final call on their captain.
Dilshan is categorical, it will not have said that another blow on his fractured right thumb would require an operation that would rule out the one-day series.
He would not take the bet and if his idea is good then his place will go to Thirimanne, whose international career consists of three games of a day for sri Lanka.
Thirimanne seemed only poorly uncomfortable conditions wet morning when Reece Topley and Maurice Chambers are lateral movement with the new ball.
He slashed Topley on the slips, was dropped at second slip by Tom Westley on 11 off the coast of the same bowler and was struck a painful blow by Chambers before heavy rains forced a lunch at the beginning.
In the afternoon, when the Sun was spotted for only time throughout the day and task of Sri Lanka has also helped by the fact that Topley was sent to the hospital to have a scan of precaution on a knee that he twisted after slipping on the outfield wet, batting became easier.
He left Essex, is the captain for the first time by Ravi Bopara, relying on two bowlers make their debut in first Class, left arm pace bowler Tymal Mills and Tom Craddock leg spinner.
Sangakkara looked bored on this trip as if the hangover of four years as captain of Sri Lanka has been difficult to shake, but it's an ideal opportunity to ensure that everything has clicked on put in his place before the third Test.
At 33, it is probably his last tour here and Rose Bowl offers the last chance for a Test of the English conditions in hundreds.
He was ruthless against any short and uses his feet to hit the spinners on top, more long on Westley dumping for ovens consecutive as he reached his fifty off only 70 balls.
Thirimanne smoothed three consecutive Craddock offshore borders, but it was a rare show of aggression that he dug his way towards his century, his retirement shortly after passing the landmark.
Sangakkara reached a not disturbed hundred off 141 balls, but his young colleague was go not voluntarily abandon both in the workplace and Craddock, struck snap on the extra cover for six and then end to cut for four.
Bopara, who probably tipped the ball more than any other bowler, took two late wickets, both caught at second slip.
