The amount of dew will also depend on how the winds will move.Daily weather forecast for Sri Lanka vs India, 1st TestDay 1 (August 15): High of 30C, low of 27C, with around a 50% chance of rainDay 2 (August 16): High of 31C, low of 27C, with around a 25% chance of rainDay 3 (August 17): High of 30C, low of 27C, with around a 40% chance of rainDay 4 (August 18): High of 31C, low of 28C, with around a 40% chance of rainDay 5 (August 19): High of 31C, low of 27C, with around a 35% chance of rainChances of rain interrupting play in GalleAs per the forecasts, there is a moderate chance of rain interrupting play in Galle on the opening day, with the probability peaking through the afternoon session at around 50 per cent. Passing showers rather than a full washout look the likeliest scenario.The outlook improves as the Test progresses, with the rain threat easing from Day 2 onwards. High humidity and warm temperatures of around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius are expected throughout the five days, which could make conditions taxing for the players.What happens if the Sri Lanka vs India 1st Test is stopped by rain?Unlike limited-overs cricket, Test matches do not use the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.Any time lost to rain or bad light is instead recovered by extending the day's play, with umpires able to add up to an hour of extra time and bring forward the start on following days.A maximum of 98 overs are bowled on a normal day, and lost overs are made up where light and time permit. Should significant portions of the match be washed out, a draw becomes the likeliest result, an outcome that would suit neither side in the WTC context.What time does the Sri Lanka vs India 1st Test start?The Sri Lanka vs India first Test will be played at the Galle International Stadium.The match will start at 10:00 a.m. IST on Friday, August 15, 2026.How to watch Sri Lanka vs India 1st Test in India?Here's how to watch the Sri Lanka vs India match in India:TV channel: Sony Sports NetworkLive stream: SonyLIVThe Sri Lanka vs India series will be available to stream live through the SonyLIV app and website for fans in India.

Real Madrid set to offload key youth duo this summer as they train separatelyThe mass exodus in the Real Madrid academy this summer appears to have no end in sight, with a host of players already leaving the club for greener pastures.The latest to join the list could be Jacobo Ortega, who is set for a move to Strasbourg, which would make him the most expensive sale for a Real Madrid youth player yet to feature in the first-team.But Ortega wont be the last, with Real Madrid also expected to sanction the sale of two more youth players.David Jimenez and Manuel Angel to leaveAccording to AS, Manuel Angel and David Jimenez are next in line to depart, with both players having effectively reached the end of their time at Castilla.Manuel Angel has no future in the Real Madrid first-team right now. (Photo by Alex Caparros/Getty Images)There is plenty of interest in the pair, spanning the top flight, the second division and beyond, though nothing concrete enough yet to seal their exits. Both have been training separately and were left out of Castillas pre-season friendlies and matchday squads, a deliberate move to avoid any injury that could jeopardise their futures.Once the sales of Ortega and others are factored in, Real Madrids academy revenue this summer is set to surpass a staggering 200 million, capping what has been described internally as a historic window.Two highly-rated talentsBoth players were key members of Alvaro Arbeloas treble-winning academy generation, alongside the likes of Nico Paz and Gonzalo Garcia.Can Manuel Angel establish himself elsewhere? (Photo by Angel Martinez/Getty Images)Manuel Angel, a cerebral 22-year-old midfielder who joined La Fabrica in 2014, has long been regarded as one of Valdebebas finest talents. Ambidextrous and composed, he even spent time with the first team towards the end of last season, making seven appearances. The priority now is finding an environment that offers him regular game time.David Jimenez, meanwhile, is an attacking full-back said to possess one of the best right foots in the academy. Praised for his leadership and forward-thinking style, drawing comparisons to Dani Carvajal, he too featured for the first team last season, impressing under both Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa.For both, the challenge now is simply finding the right destination, with Real Madrid, the players and their entourages all awaiting the most suitable offer.

There will always be remnants of former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin around the team. But one of the biggest is gone. Steelers writer Mike DeFabo notes on Thursday night that new head coach Mike McCarthy took down the banner Tomlin put up saying "The Standard is the Standard" and replaced it with a huge Steelers logo.This had been one of the core components of Tomlin's coaching philosophy but like most of his messages, it got lost somewhere along the way. Tomlin stepped down at the end of the 2025 season and the front office quickly replaced him with McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native.The standard is the standard sign that once greeted players walking into the locker room at Acrisure Stadium during the Mike Tomlin era has been replaced with a massive Steelers logo. Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 14, 2026The Steelers blew out the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener 28-9. Pittsburgh's front office is hoping that McCarthy can return this franchise to its previous greatness and that has to start with winning a playoff game.For up-to-dateSteelerscoverage, including any training camp news and updates, follow us on X@TheSteelersWireand give ourFacebook pagea like./This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: New Steelers HC Mike McCarthy makes a huge change from Tomlin era
