Priyanjan c Morgan b Anderson 43

Sri Lanka 256/8 (50.0 ov)

A decent effort from Sri Lanka, having been put in on a cold, cloudy day.

It certainly gives them something to defend...

England bowled too many wides and dropped a couple of chances.

If the rain stays away, this should be a competitive chase.

8 after 1 over

Kulasekara to Bell, FOUR, nothing off the pitch again. Kulasekara pushes this short and wide,

Bell settles quickly on the back foot and thwacks it past point  !
