THIRD ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL, Dambulla:
Sri Lanka v England
Sri Lanka won a vital toss and elected to bat first in the pivotal third one-day international against England. That forced England to bat second under floodlights, and thus far in the series neither team has been able to get anywhere near a target when chasing. With the series standing 1-1, both sides were unchanged so England gave left-hander Alastair Cook a further chance to show his batting ability. Cook has scored just 51 runs in his last five one-day internationals. Sri Lanka v England

"The pitch looks like it's going to be slow and very low. We have big cracks and inside these cracks are thousands of little cracks. I think Monty Panesar would have been very useful on this surface."
Dougie Brown on TMS 0936 : OK, who's still in a bit of a fug after watching Saturday's crackerjack double header of rugger? I had the honour of watching the New Zealand v France match in a pub full of Kiwis, the finest moment of the evening was seeing an inconsolable girl regaled in black leaving the pub a minute after the final whistle streaming in tears. Anyone else had any wonderfully schadenfreudic moments from the weekend? 0936 : News from the middle - Sri Lanka have won the toss and will bat first in Dambulla. Oh oh, it's batting under the lights time again. Both sides named unchanged teams from Thursday's match. 0931 : Buenos dias cricket fans, it's the one they're all talking about in the backstreets of Colombo - (cue voice of man who does the voiceover for every Hollywood film trailer going) welcome, to the third one-dayer.
