    The players are out in the middle in Bristol - we're going to get some cricket.

    It's started bucketing it down in Stockport. Let's hope that doesn't make its way down south.

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "There's always a temptation to look at young guys. Tom [Banton] has played for us before and George [Garton] is new to the squad, so every time we look at selection we do keep an eye on the long term plan for that player.

    "So we don't necessarily want to chuck them in a one off game that has little context, we'd rather them be around the squad and start to feel more comfortable and then introduce them when opportunities to present themselves."

    The County Championship is returning today.

    England openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley are playing for Surrey and Warkwickshire respectively, while a potential replacement in Haseeb Hameed is in the Notts line-up.

    We're expecting James Anderson to play for Lancashire against Kent too, but they are facing a delayed start.

    You can follow all the action here.

    A nice little dinked ball in from Sam Curran for David Willey to nod through the keeper?

    Sri Lanka captain Kusal Perera: "We are expecting swing and bounce. In these conditions it's always there but we need a positive approach and at the same time to do the basics right."

    Despite the delayed toss, play is still going to get under way at 11am.

    If we avoid another shower that is.

    As Matt has alluded to, the forecast does leave a lot to be desired.

    It could be a very long, and frustrating, day.

    Each side will have to bat for 20 overs to constitute a game.

    We were expecting more experimentation from England today but there’s just the one change. It’s going to be one of those awkward days with lots of showery interruptions I fear.

    Eoin Morgan and England love a chase. The expected weather has impacted that decision today.

    They are making one change, with Chris Woakes replacing Mark Wood.

    Let's head straight out to the toss, which has been delayed by 10 minutes or so because of a light shower.

    Morning!

    How are we all? A few sore heads? A day watching the cricket to recover from the night before?

    Let's hope we have a cracker in Bristol.

    The first two ODIs have finished in comfortable England victories.

    Will the third game bring a clean sweep, or a bit of rest bite for Sri Lanka?
