England lead 11-3 in the 'Super Series' after the extraordinary tied game at Trent Bridge - thanks to Liam Plunkett's SIX off the last ball! Four ODIs and a T20 to play.
Sri Lanka win the toss and bat, so they will be setting a target again. Mathews declares himself fit, happy it's not much of a gamble. Suraj Randiv comes in for Dasun Shanaka in the only change for SL.
Eoin Morgan says he would have batted first, too (apparently that is the preferred MO for this side, although they bowled on Tuesday). England stick with the same XI.
England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Alex Hales, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Jos Buttler (wk), 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 David Willey, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Adil Rashid.
Sri Lanka 1 Kusal Perera, 2 Danushka Gunathilaka, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal (wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Upul Tharanga, 7 Seekkuge Prasanna, 8 Suraj Randiv, 9 Farveez Maharoof 10 Suranga Lakmal, 11 Nuwan Pradeep
