Everyone too busy thinking about the football for this then?

England: 1 Liam Livingstone, 2 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Sam Billings, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Sam Curran, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 David Willey, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Adil Rashid

Sri Lanka: 1 Kusal Perera (capt/wk), 2 Pathum Nissanka, 3 Charith Asalanka, 4 Ramesh Mendis, 5 Dasun Shanaka, 6 Wanindu Hasaranga, 7 Dhananjaya Lakshan, 8 Chamika Karunaratne, 9 Binura Fernando, 10 Dushmantha Chameera, 11 Praveen Jayawickrama

England fielding three debutants after having to send three players home yesterday for breaching the Covid bubble.

12 overs gone, Sri Lanka currently 60-3. Woakes has two, Willey one.

Nasser on commentary just now "You've got to stroke Wood, not go hard".

Its sad to see how far Sri Lanka have slipped from being the best one day side in the world with classy batsmen and bowlers to what we are currently playing here.

Even the description sounds good, direct hit side on.

20 overs to whack out the runs?

Indeed, I would back Ireland to beat them at present.

Think this game will be over before the England/Germany match starts...

I love that at so far our openers are: Bairstow 41 from 17; Livingstone 3 from 9...

63-2, required run rate less than 3 per over, not a real contest is it?

I think people's interest might be elsewhere at the moment.

Well yes, but the England/Germany game hasn't started has it?

Only another 35 runs needed, Root padding his stats here.

Morgan wouldn't be playing on current form if he wasn't captain.
