Strauss won the toss and batted and Eng are 95/2 off 26.5 overs. A solid start.
SL started with 3 spinners, Herath, Murali and Mendis. Dilshan opened the bowling.
Now Bopara is trapped lbw by that wily fox, Murali and Eng are 95/3 off 27 overs.
Eoin Morgan has come in and we can expect some unorthodox shots from him.
Eoin Morgan lofts Mendis into the hands of Samaraveera, which he drops ! A life for Morgan ! Morgan survives a close lbw call and he now bears a charmed life, with four lives !
Trott takes three and completes his fifty. Eng 136/3. At this stage, 240 will be a good score. And Eng will be happy with 240.
Morgan lofts Murali into the hands of Mathews and drops it !
Eng could only score 229, setting 230 to score for SL.
SL does it in style. 231 for no wicket, with Tharanga and Dilshan scoring centuries !
It was unfortunate that Eng bowed out without any resistance. Now SL faces NZ on Tuesday and mighty India take on a resurgent Pakistan !
