    England captain Eoin Morgan: "I’d have done the same and bowled. I was very happy with our approach, the openers set the tone. Jonny and Jason have set the pace like that for a while now. It’s different circumstances, and we’re unsure how the pitch will play after two days.

    "They are always good batting wickets in the subcontinent, they are always a bit slow, with unpredictable bounce and a bit of turn so we’ll have to see how it goes. We have had a lot of down time, but hopefully we can get a full day’s play in."

    Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal: "It looks like a good wicket, better to get early wickets and put them under pressure. Our energy was really good the other day, I’m happy with how our guys played."

    So once again England pick three spinners with Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson.

    Olly Stone made his debut the other day but didn't bat or bowl in the 15 overs play we had. He'll be hoping to get a better run out today.

    Sri Lanka: Upul Tharanga, Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Dasun Shanaka, Akila Dananjaya, Nuwan Pradeep, Lakshan Sandakan, Lasith Malinga.

    Hello! After the wash-out of the first one-day international in this series between England and Sri Lanka on Wednesday, we're back again to try for ODI number two.

    It's currently glorious in Dambulla which is very good news but it could rain again. It's the rainy season in Sri Lanka after all but here's hoping for more play.
