Unbeaten ODI captain, Alastair Cook, won the toss and inserted the Sri Lankans.
England field an unchanged line-up, on what looks like a decent batting track.

Broad runs out Dilshan with a great diving throw!
That is a BIG wicket on a flat track.

Jayawardene 31* is setting out his stall. Sri Lankan innings off to a decent start... 45-1 (9 overs).

And just as I say that, another one runs himself out!
Chandimal prods it to mid-on, calls for the run... and Anderson runs him out, in the same underarm diving style as Broad.
45-2 (9.1 overs)

England have pegged this back a bit, mainly thanks to two suicidal run outs!

Just 16 runs in the second 'power play'.
But still a good track... surely Sri Lanka will be looking for 250+ (a fairly steady 5.5 per over required to achieve this)

Jayawardene 82* and Sangakkara 42* have picked up the pace a bit... 27 off the last 5 overs...
140-2 (29 overs)
Cook turns to KP (who is bowling in the most horrific lemon yellow shades
).

What sort of name is Jade for a cricketer? and he's behaving like an utter knob, stepping into the path of the running batsman.
