The T20 match is today, followed by 5 ODIs. The main England absentees from the winter are Broad because of his knee injury, Lumb who's place has gone to Carberry, and Dernbach who I think has played his last match for England.

I bet the Sri Lanka bowlers can't wait to meet up with Alex Hales..
Returning manager Peter Moores will be after a good start to the summer.

England won the toss and chose to field. Tim Bresnan and Moeen Ali have been left out from the 13, which means a debut for Harry Gurney and a first T20 appearance in 3 years for Ian Bell. This is Sri Lanka's first T20 since the retirements of Sangakkara and Jayawardene after the T20 world cup.

Why are we picking Joe Root at 4
We need Buttler and Bopara in earlier
RE: England vs Sri Lanka 2014 - William H Bonney - 20-05-2014 21:42
Man of the Match is Thisara Perera for his 49 in just 20 balls which proved the difference. Sri Lanka won by 9 runs.

Bell is a classy Test player but this selection is a backward step,the way James Taylor smashed Anderson around the other night surely he is the future,what more does he have to do to get a go.

Impressive 81 run victory by England tonight.
And a top rate batting and bowling performance by Man of the Match Chris Jordan.
RE: England vs Sri Lanka 2014 - Snooks - 22-05-2014 21:18
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
England have won a game
.Surely this cannot be true, I demand an inquiry
.No but seriously it was a good solid performance all round against a very talented opposition.

Jordan has a bit an X-factor about him,great Man of the match performance.
RE: England vs Sri Lanka 2014 - William H Bonney - 22-05-2014 22:12
England hit Malinga for 71 in 8 overs
and Sri Lanka lose for only the second time in their last 20 matches.
