Advantage England now in conditions that are damp. The ball is gripping lesser, bowlers are finding it hard to execute and the visitors have the momentum. Should cruise home from here with a fifty for Banton. View Complete Forecast...

Tweakers to turn the tide once again?
Sri Lanka made solid starts in both games, reaching 55/1 in the powerplay of the first match and 58/1 today. However, the momentum shifted sharply once the spinners were introduced. While Sri Lanka appear positive and the pitch has played better than in the opening game, overs 7-15 could still prove decisive, with 2-3 wickets likely to fall. Rashid and Dawson are expected to be the main wicket-taking threats in this phase. View Complete Forecast...
