Toss delayed by rain blah blah
England won the toss and will field
Both teams unchanged match will start in ten minutes
Haven't taken any overs away yet.

 

[Hallatia]

England 1/1 after the first over. Dilshan out for a duck. Plenty of movement coming from this pitch and Anderson is enjoying it.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sri Lanka 3 for f**k all, going about as well as the Blues.

 

[Hallatia]

This pitch is perfect for these England bowlers, especially Anderson who just took his second, getting plenty of movement and away swing. England 11/3 in the 4th.
Dilshan gone for 0
Jayawardene gone for 9 (Bresnan got him)
Chandimal gone for 0
The other 2 runs were extras, the 2 out now re both on 0.

 

[Hallatia]

The pitch is helping, but there was been some really lovely bowling from Anderson so far. He's 3/14 now, England 4/20 in the ninth.

 

[Hallatia]

Very good bowling innings from England accounting for Sri Lanka all out for 174 Sngakkara top scored with 75
Anderson was outstanding.
Bresnan was pretty good, took a fantastic caught and bowled, might just be the best caught and bowled I have ever seen, excellent catch.
Swann was good for no wicket.
Dernbach was the best have seen him and unlucky for a while but finished with 3 for 38 which was good for him and included Sangakkara.
Broad took 2, but he was deadset given them to help his confidence or whatever, he had optimal conditions and still was not good...

England win by 10 wickets with cook hitting 95*

 

[Hallatia]

Keiswetter's 6 in the last over robbed Cook of the century with the amended total. They both batted superbly this morning especially Cook. I have to say I never fancied him as an ODI batsman, but his knock this morning proved he was more than up to it.

His captaincy also really looked after the team in the first innings

I wonder if Lockys hand has fallen off?
