England Vs Sri Lanka white ball

[alfie]

Haven't been able to watch any of these. (Probably could find a stream somewhere if desperate , but it is only random ODI) Bit surprised in game one that Overton bowled nine , including that horrible last over , while Curran had two unused overs. Mistake by the skipper or just the way it worked out with the changes ? Maybe Bethell or Root could have bowled one or two more as it clearly was a spinners' delight...

But as we all know , not many in this England team are really much good against spin. Might be better batting first. Though not able to today I see. Plenty of spin options with Jacks added !

Crawley injured apparently would have thought it would make more sense for jack's to open but hey ho ...Overton has struck early though and Sri Lanka 17-1

[Arthur Crabtree]

Going on the SL SR early on, maybe another bowlers pitch, and better to bat first.

Jacks for Crawley maybe strengthens the batting. Surprising if Rehan opens. Maybe Jacks came in for him and when Crawley dropped out they just swapped in Rehan's name on the team sheet...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bethell on before Rehan...

[andy]

61-2 kusal mendis the key here...need to get him sooner rather than later has the ability to take the game away quickly...only battery who's looked comfortable so far

[andy]

And he's run out!! 68-3

[andy]

Partnership building 115-3 in the 29th over...7 options used by England asalanka the key here for Sri Lanka very good player and record particularly at home

[Arthur Crabtree]

Should limit this to something chasable. Plenty of bowling options.

[andy]

220 to win good effort by England bowlers

[Arthur Crabtree]

Encouraging that Brook overcame the reflex of going back to the quicks.

Plenty to do...

[alfie]

Pitch apparently even spinnier than the other day so 220 might be a very tough task ?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surprising if Rehan opens. Maybe Jacks came in for him and when Crawley dropped out they just swapped in Rehan's name on the team sheet...

Nope, he's opening. Quite an opportunity.

But doesn't take it.

[andy]

109-3 in 23rd over...going well at the moment collapse always round the corner though...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Root counts as three wickets. If he gets out, that's a mini-collapse.

[andy]

Another 50 for root!
