Sri Lanka wins the toss and elects to bat in the second ODI against England
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) --- Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won his second
successive toss and elected to bat against England in the second one-day
international on Saturday.
England top-order batters struggled against Sri Lanka spinners and lost the
first game of the three-match series by 19 runs despite Jamie Overton and Rehan
Ahmed showing late aggression in the run chase.
Opening batter Zak Crawley was ruled out of Saturday's match with a knee injury
and was replaced by Will Jacks, who missed the first match due to illness.
Sri Lanka continued with its combination that won the first game with spinners
Dunith Wellalage and Jeffrey Vandersay troubling England batters in the middle
overs.
