Taylor comes in for Cook. Hales moves up to open the batting with Moeen. England win the toss and opt to bat.

Hales out for a duck. England 9/1 (4 ov).

Nick Knight chimes in with a nice stat: The entire England XI has played a total of 444 ODI's. Jayawardene has played a total of 431 ODI's by himself.

Dilshan is brought into the attack and immediately takes the prize wicket of Moeen Ali. Ugly shot for a man that looked in really good form. Taylor is looking really nervy in the middle.

England 29/2 (7.2 ov).

Taylor given out LBW but immediately calls for a replay and the decision is correctly overturned as replays show a clear under edge.

Sri Lanka have been incredible in the field.

England 76/2 (19 ov). Taylor 35*

50 for Taylor and 100 for England. Root and Taylor have done a really good job of rotating the strike.

England 106/2 (22 ov).

Taylor out for 90. After a nervy start, Taylor played himself in and really anchored England's innings as he rotated the strike well with both Root and Ravi.

England 171/4 (35 ov).

And Ravi's bowled next over. Not a good start to the batting power play.

173/5 (35.3 ov).

Morgan bludgeons 18 from the last over as England are all out for 265. Morgan finally found some runs as he finished with 62 from 47 deliveries.

England lost their last 7 wickets too cheaply and look to be 30 runs light. It will take an inspired bowling perfromance to defend 265.

Give credit to England's bowlers to making it a close finish. I don't think the drop of Mathews would have changed the outcome at the end but would have been nice to have found out. England were undone in the power play. Not reaching 300 from the position they were in was criminal.

I take two positives out of the game, Taylor, after an edgy start, looked impressive. I'd like to see what he can do batting 3rd going forward. Secondly, it was good to see Morgan score some runs.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
