England-Sri Lanka ODI cricket series

Overview

England and Sri Lanka are competing in a three-match One Day International (ODI) series. In the first match at Chester-le-Street, England secured an 89-run victory led by Will Jacks, who scored an unbeaten 46 and took 5 for 22.

Sri Lanka leveled the series 1-1 in the second ODI at Headingley with a 16-run win. Captain Kusal Mendis scored 121 runs to help Sri Lanka post 321 for 6, supported by Kamindu Mendis’s 54. While England’s chase began strongly with a 143-run opening partnership between Ben Duckett and Tom Banton, momentum shifted when Dunith Wellalage claimed three crucial wickets, including both openers and Harry Brook.

England captain Jos Buttler suffered a left hamstring injury during the chase. After retiring hurt on 67, he briefly returned to the crease but was eventually dismissed for 69. Due to the injury, Buttler has been ruled out of the series decider at The Oval, and Dan Lawrence has been called up to the squad as his replacement.
