Obviously swing will have a part to play but Lord's is often a solid batting pitch and if the weather is good, conditions may not hand James Anderson or Stuart Broad too much help. Jordan has extra pace and aggression and that could make him England's chief threat.

There is experience in the Sri Lankan order against the swinging ball, particularly Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, but they all remain vulnerable to pace and bounce, Jordan can generate plenty so back him at 100/30.
