England v Sri Lanka: third men’s one-day cricket international – live
A good spot from our cricket correspondent Ali Martin. Jos Buttlerâs absence means Joe Root is the only player with 50+ caps in the England team. He has 195 caps; the other ten players have 214 between them. Harry Brook (44*) is second on the list.
The injured Jos Buttler is replaced by Jordan Cox, who plays his first ODI since a tough tour of the Caribbean two years ago. Liam Dawson and Sonny Baker also come into the XI; Rehan Ahmed and Josh Tongue drop out.
Sri Lanka, unsurprisingly, are unchanged from their stirring win at Headingley.
England Banton, Duckett, Root, Brook (c), Cox (wk), Jacks, Dawson, Atkinson, Overton, Archer, Baker.
England vs Sri Lanka: Jos Buttler's bravery in vain as tourists fight back to level series
Highlights: Mendis hits century as Sri Lanka beat England at Headingley
Jos Buttler's bravery came in vain as Sri Lanka fought back to beat England in the second one-day international at Headingley and set up a series decider at The Oval.
Needing 68 from 75 balls, England were cruising towards a target of 322 until Buttler retired hurt on 67 after tweaking a hamstring.
When Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton fell, Buttler re-emerged with 27 needed from 14 balls and witnessed Will Jacks fall for 52 at the non-striker's end.
England were left needing 19 from the last with Buttler on strike but, barely able to hobble a single, he holed out at deep mid-wicket. England finished on 306-9 as Sri Lanka won by 16 runs.
