WICKET!! Brook c Liyanage b Pathirana 4 (England 34-4)<\/p>\n
Fooled by a slower ball!<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.02 EST<\/p>\n 5th over: England 28-3 (Buttler 17, Brook 0) Shanaka\u2019s bowling changes keep on working. He turned to spin, brought on Dunith Wellalage, saw him make a good tight start, and got another wicket as Banton picked the wrong ball to try and slog for six. It\u2019s our old friend, an England collapse!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.00 EST<\/p>\n WICKET! Banton b Wellalage 7 (England 28-3)<\/p>\n So much for Banton\u2019s form!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 4th over: England 25-2 (Buttler 16, Banton 5) The batters decide that attack is the best form of defence, and it works. Shanaka\u2019s second over begins with Buttler dabbing for four and ends with Banton, still in form from the other night, cover-driving for four more. A few singles in between and, without much effort, they\u2019ve got 11 off the over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a008.56 EST<\/p>\n 3rd over: England 14-2 (Buttler 10, Banton 0) Chameera\u2019s reward for grabbing an early wicket was to be taken off, but it worked. On came Matheesha Pathirana, Sri Lanka\u2019s slingshot, bearing yorkers. He nearly bowled Buttler and could have broken his toe, before switching to a good length and a wide line to dismiss Bethell. Buttler, deciding that attack is the best form of defence, gets aa streaky four from a Harrow drive. SL well on top.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WICKET! Bethell c Kusal Mendis b Pathirana 3 (England 14-2)<\/p>\n Another one! Pathirana dishes up temptation, well oustide off, and Bethell takes the bait.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 2nd over: England 7-1 (Buttler 4, Bethell 2) Dasun Shanaka starts well too \u2013 dot dot dot, a single for Buttler, and then two deliveries that beat the bat of Bethell, the first a shout for LBW (pitched outside leg), the second whistling past the outside edge. Even Buttler\u2019s single was mistimed. Advantage Sri Lanka!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a008.45 EST<\/p>\n 1st over: England 6-1 (Buttler 3, Bethell 2) The travelling fans were still singing Jerusalem, at a rather dirge-like tempo, when Ben Duckett faced his first ball. It was a beauty from Dushmantha Chameera, curling back into the left-hander, trapping him on the crease and looking a very plumb plumb. For some reason it wasn\u2019t given on the field, but the review brought up three reds and poor old Duckett had to go. His miserable winter continues.<\/p>\n No such bother for Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell, who pick up a few singles.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a008.41 EST<\/p>\n WICKET!

After losing Eshan Malinga to a dislocated shoulder, they also have to do without Wanindu Hasaranga, who has gone down with an abscess in the armpit. Painful for him and disappointing for the spectators, who haven\u2019t seen him at his explosive best. His place goes to Maneesh Theekshana, Malinga\u2019s to Dushmantha Chameera. The ODI captain, Charith Asalanka, is rested in favour of Kamindu Mendis, who wasn\u2019t in the original squad for this series. A hat-tip for all these facts to our friends at Cricinfo, as our friends at TNT have been replaying the last match rather than filling us in on this one.<\/p>\n Sri Lanka 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Kami Mishara, 3 Kusal Mendis (wk), 4 Pavan Rathnayeke, 5 Kamindu Mendis, 6 Dasun Shanaka (capt), 7 Janith Liyanage, 8 Dunith Wellalage, 9 Mahessh Theekshana, 10 Dushmantha Chameera, 11 Matheesha Pathirana.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a008.26 EST<\/p>\n England team: Duckett in for Salt, Wood for Archer<\/p>\n Phil Salt is ruled out by a sore back, so Ben Duckett sneaks into the XI without having to dislodge Tom Banton. Jofra Archer is rested to keep him fresh for the World Cup, so England\u2019s spare seamer, Luke Wood, gets an overdue outing. He may have been eyeing Jamie Overton\u2019s economy rate and thinking he could do better.<\/p>\n England 1 Ben Duckett, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Jacob Bethell, 4 Tom Banton, 5 Harry Brook (capt), 6 Sam Curran, 7 Will Jacks, 8 Jamie Overton, 9 Liam Dawson, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Luke Wood.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>England win the toss and … bat!<\/p>\n Harry Brook gets his call right for the third time out of three \u2013 like Ben Stokes, he seems to be a top-class tosser. He opts to bat first, presumably to give his team some practice at setting a target.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Pre-match reading<\/p>\n Pakistan\u2019s cricketers have been ordered by their government not to play against India in the T20 World Cup. Our man in the subcontinent, the talented Taha Hashim, looks at the ramifications of this.<\/p>\n
