Preamble
Hello! Welcome back to Sri Lanka, where we’ve reached the business end of the tour – T20 preparation for the World Cup. England won the first one, a damp and drawn out affair -perked up by three wickets for Adil Rashid and a hat-trick for Sam Curran at the end.
Since then we’ve had another mea culpa from Harry Brook – this time admitting he had teammates out with the him the night of his altercation with a bouncer. Why they didn’t just get it all out in the open at the same time, beats me.
Anyway, we’re back in Pallekele, where play – rain permitting – is due to start at 1.30pm GMT. Sri Lanka will be keen for more wickets from a fit Matheesha Pathirana, and a better showing against spin from the batters. England are keen to clinch the series. Do join us to see how things pan out.
