Sri Lanka head coach Graham Ford is confident he will get a great idea of the stage his team are at when they face England But with England having won the Ashes at home and triumphed in a Test series in South Africa in the past year, Ford expects a tough contest.He said: They have played fantastic cricket for a while now.

They played very well in South Africa too.But theres no better way to grow a young team than to play against a really good outfit.Watch Englands Test series against Sri Lanka live and exclusive on Sky Sports.
