England won the toss and opted to bowl. During the toss, England Captain Harry Brook said, “We will bowl first. We have been very consistent in an inconsistent format. It is good to see everyone buy into what we are trying to achieve.”

“I’m enjoying it, and any time you play for England, it is good fun. That was all Baz’s idea. Thankfully, I’ve managed to get a few out of the middle.”

“We want to get back to No. 1 in the world, and the consistency we are bringing is awesome to see.”

Speaking on today’s England Cricket team playing 11, Brook said, “We’ve got one change, with Jofra Archer replacing Josh Tongue.”

Meanwhile, Charith Asalanka said, “I would have bowled too. Thirteen losses is too much. We want to break that rhythm and play good cricket. We know England are consistent, so we have to be spot-on in all three departments. We have to come back well and forget Tuesday night.”

Speaking on today’s Sri Lanka cricket team playing 11, Asalanka said, “We have two changes. Tharindu Ratnayake is making his debut, replacing Dunith Wellalage. Dilshan Madushanka is also in for Maheesh Theekshana.”
