The first one day international begins today from the Rangiri Dambulla stadium. Best of 5 series.
The England team has Stone making his debut and no place for Hales.
Roy, Bairstow, Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Woakes, Dawson, Rashid, Stone.
Sri Lanka have won the toss and are bowling first. Rain looks likely to complicate matters today.
The second ODI and England make 278 - 9 off their 50 overs.
After the 1st match was quickly brought to an end by rain, with only 15 overs being possible, the 2nd match looks certain to be rain affected too. However, with the rain threatening to disrupt Sri Lanka's innings, England have hurried through their overs and managed to reach the 20 over mark, and that means the match will be decided on a Duckworth Lewis basis at least, so there is going to be a definite result today.
Sri Lanka reached 140/5 from 29 overs before rain intervened.
England won by 31 runs on the D/L method.
It's the 3rd ODI today and guess what, it's raining.
Who arranged a tour during the monsoon session
Play is to start at 3:45pm and will be a 21 over game.
England won the toss and opted to bowl. England are playing their original 50 over team and not bringing in any 20 over specialists.
Well bowled Rashid, ended with 4 for 36

But when else could it have been fitted in?
Anyway Sri lanka finished their 21 overs on 150/9.
England 153/3 from 18.3 overs.
England win by 7 wickets and lead the series 2-0. Another convincing win
