"Joe Root and Adil Rashid, both part of the 2019 class, were the protagonists of the second one-day international against Sri Lanka, setting up a five-wicket victory to level the series. Rashid led the England attack on another turner, taking two for 34 as Harry Brook used a national ODI record 40.3 overs of spin, limiting Sri Lanka to 219."
"Jacks returned to the England XI in place of Zak Crawley out with a knee injury leading to an eye-catching promotion. Rehan Ahmed, at No 8 on Thursday, was at the top of the order for the first time in his international career. It was a funky call, but not entirely unfamiliar to the 21-year-old, who has opened in the County Championship and batted at three in the Big Bash this month."
England levelled the ODI series against Sri Lanka with a five-wicket victory. Joe Root scored 75 and provided off-spin as a ninth bowling option. Adil Rashid took two for 34, bowling ten overs without conceding a boundary and inducing catches with floated deliveries. Harry Brook used a national ODI record 40.3 overs of spin to restrict Sri Lanka to 219. Will Jacks and Jos Buttler finished the chase, ending England's 11-match away ODI winless streak. Rehan Ahmed opened the batting for the first time in international cricket. Brendon McCullum achieved his first ODI win abroad as England's white-ball coach.
