"We bowled really well through the middle and the spinners bowled exceptionally well."
"They got hold of us in that last over. They challenged us in lots of different departments. Unfortunately we lost a few wickets in quick succession and that always puts you on the back foot."
"A valiant last stand from Jamie Overton isn't enough ❌His 34 runs from 17 balls gave England a glimmer of hope but Sri Lanka take the first ODI 🇱🇰📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/XvWmrFiKP6- Cricket on TNT Sports (@cricketontnt)"
England lost the first one-day international in Colombo to Sri Lanka by 19 runs after being set 272. Kusal Mendis top-scored with 93 as Sri Lanka posted a competitive total at the R Premadasa Stadium. Ben Duckett made 62 and Joe Root 61 in response, and Jamie Overton provided a late burst of 34 off 17 balls. England then lost eight wickets for 84 runs, with Overton's dismissal in the final over ending the chase and extending England's away ODI losing streak to 11. Adil Rashid took 3-44 and the spinners bowled well through the middle. The three-match series continues on Saturday.
