England v Sri Lanka: second men’s one-day cricket international – live

The second men's one-day international cricket fixture between England and Sri Lanka is currently scheduled for coverage starting at 12:30pm BST. Meanwhile, earlier athletic action saw the England squad secure a recent victory against Sri Lanka during the opening one-day international match, which proved to be a gradual contest rather than an explosive affair.

This followed a previous series sweep in the Twenty20 format, prompting leadership to push for continued fast-paced performance.
