Hope no rains 60-90% chance at Dambullah

SL vs Eng, Dambulla
Starts at 10:00 AM IST (04:30 GMT), Oct 13
Did you know?
- Jonny Bairstow needs five more runs to become the sixth England player to aggregate 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year.
- Sri Lanka haven't won an ODI in Dambulla in the last three years. They've lost seven out of the nine matches with the other two ending in a no-result. In the 14 ODIs prior to that, they won 11 out of the 13 matches.
- Bairstow and Jason Roy have amassed 1000 runs in 2018 - the most by a pair this calendar year and the first England pair to do so in any year.
 
England Lost Roy (0) and Bairstow (26) but Root and Morgan so far put england on driver seat

137 for 2 off 27 overs

Root on 71
Morgan on 90 odd

MalinGa 10/1/44/5 reduced eng from 190/3 to 255 / 9

England need to get near 300 here :)
 
I hope you guys heard of Dawson's side strain he is out of remains of ODI series in Lanka I wonder why england includes Joe Danley who is test material and pure batsman to fill the gap created by Dawson.I would pick Tom Curran rather who is decent all rounder

SL also loose Kusal Perera with injury.more rains in Forcast for today's 3rd ODI
 
Backlash over England coming to SL when it's monsoon season. I agree, it's a particularly poor choice to hold a tour in a month where you know weather will play spoilsport. Doesn't make for good cricket and both teams unable to test themselves before the World Cup.
 
Sad to see Herath go. The last of SL's golden generation. It will be very tough for SL to return to the top tier in any format in the near future.
 
Big day for Curran family. Both brothers are really talented. Srilanka need to play aggressive cricket.
