""I didn't expect the pitch for the second match would be like that. We had got 270-280 in the first match and no one likes to get fewer runs than that, because you've got to give your bowlers something to defend. Unfortunately the pitch for the second match had changed from the first game. That said, it still wasn't a 220-run pitch - my goal while batting had been to get to 250 or 260.""
""worst pitch" he had ever played on."
""great wicket for ODI cricket""
England will seek to complete an ODI series win in Colombo tomorrow, providing a morale boost ahead of the T20 World Cup. Saturday's five-wicket victory was the tourists' first in 12 ODIs away from home and levelled the series 1-1. The R Premadasa Stadium will host the decider, but the surface has drawn criticism after lower scoring in the second match. Harry Brook described it as the "worst pitch" he had ever played on and Joe Root said it was not a "great wicket for ODI cricket." Sri Lanka will recall Wanindu Hasaranga; England are likely to retain the same XI with Zak Crawley absent.
