"We'll have to wait to see Rehan Ahmed carving it up at the top of the order for England, he has done the job before for Leicestershire, last summer he scored 203 runs at 67.66 a makeshift opener for a few matches when teammate Rishi Patel was out with injury. He's certainly got all the shots, girds loinded for that later on."
"Harry Brook just can't catch a break eh the coin falls Charith Asalanka and Sri Lanka's way and they will have first use. It will be trial by spin for England later on once again.

England must take early wickets with the new ball and keep the target manageable. Sri Lanka named Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis (wk), Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka (c), Janith Liyanage, Pavan Rathnayake, Dunith Wellalage, Pramod Madushan, Jeffrey Vandersay and Asitha Fernando. England named Rehan Ahmed, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Will Jacks, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid. Will Jacks replaces the injured Zak Crawley. Rehan Ahmed will open after strong Leicestershire form. Sri Lanka won the toss and will have first use, and spin may test England later. England trail 1-0 after a 19-run loss and need a win to level the series.
