We really now need to improve for the second game. Shahzad comes in for Yardy.
I lose the toss and bat which I would have done anyway.
England Innings
A spritely century by Kieswetter (106) set us on our way. He was backed up by 76* for KP and some quick hitting down the order saw us make 289/7 which should be defendable.
Sri Lanka Innings
Sri Lanka decided to attack and because of their long tail that was a very bad idea. There were half-centuries for Mathews and Samaweera but figures of 4/60 for Shahzad and 3 wickets for Woakes were enough to see us home by 14 runs.
1-1, 3 to play.
