England have won the toss and will bowl.

England: Jonny Bairstow (wk), Liam Livingstone, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (Capt), Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

Sri Lanka: Kusal Perera (capt & wk), Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ramesh Mendis, Dhananjaya Lakshan, Chamika Karunaratne, Binura Fernando, Dushmantha Chameera, Praveen Jayawickrama.

Umpires: Robert Robinson, Michael Gough. Third umpire: Robert Bailey.

Kusal is a good player

Woakes 2/6 with 4 maidens in 5 overs... in an ODI!

Surprised Willey still gets a look in these days, not sure he's good enough and surely could use this as an opportunity to give someone else a go.

Weirdly the batting runs deep but the tail is also very long with Moeen listed at 6.

Hasaranga looks good too. Both playing Rashid very well.

A fourth wicket for Woakes, excellent catch by Root. SL 149-5, Perera 71 not out.

171-9 now. This Sri Lanka side are a sorry state of affairs at the moment.

Don't think these one sided encounters are helping either team really. Fair play to England for being professional every game though.

England should really bat first. Setting winning totals is still something they need to improve on.

Clearly today they are focused on finishing before 5pm

Sri Lanka seem keen too the way they were running between the wickets!

Jonny is in a rush to get home to watch the Yorkshire Pirlo too it seems.

Kusal Perera drops Moeen first ball. England 80-4, should have been 5.

Another comfortable win for England, Root 79 not out.

England win the toss and bowl.

Again daft bowling first. Give the batsman 50 overs to bat and then bowl Sri Lanka out.

It's difficult to be disappointed having put them in and having them 21/4 after 7 overs however it would have been nice to have a bat first and try and plough some runs on the board.

However Morgan's job as captain is to win games whilst building the squad for the next world cup. Can't be overly critical of his decision to say we like chasing so when we win the toss, we are going to choose to chase.

England would win this game even if they had to bat 30 overs and set a total. This Sri Lanka side is minnow level.

Exactly, I'm not entirely sure we'll get much out of batting first and setting a target that SL would do well to get half of based on their abject batting so far during the T20 and this series.

Hopefully they can get to something like 250 as England wobbled when chasing 180 odd in the last game.

They really are absolute poverty now aren't they

I'm at work today was hoping to see a bit of cricket today I fear it will be all over by the time I get home

It's been a good rebuild job from Dhananjaya and Hasaranga so you never know but they had this the other day before a shocking collapse.

They're dreadful - make Bangladesh look world class these days

Fairplay they tidied it up today from where they were

Is it bad that I'm watching Tennis over Cricket? Only because Federer is playing though.

Bairstow bowled? never

Nice little 50 coming up for Jason Roy

Another easy win for England. Morgan 75 not out, Root 68 not out.
