Sri Lankan cricket veteran Angelo Mathews has announced his retirement from Test cricket, with his final appearance scheduled for the first Test against Bangladesh in June. However, Mathews confirmed he remains open to representing Sri Lanka in white-ball formats "if and when my country needs me," in a statement shared on his social media.

Zimbabwe won the toss and put hosts England into bat on the opening day of the four-day test at a Trent Bridge on Thursday, with visiting captain Craig Ervine having no hesitation in deciding to bowl under cloudy skies.
