08:40 GMT: Start of play for the day
Sri Lanka won the toss and will bat
Hello and welcome to the coverage of the third match of five one-day internationals between Sri Lanka and England, being played, as are all of the first three in this series, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.
England will certainly be having mixed feelings about this central Sri Lankan ground. This will be their fifth game here over the years - the first being the first ever in this impressive stadium in 2001 - and they have not only not won but they have only just reached 150 runs in an innings.
This new ground has held 21 one-day internationals to date. Sri Lanka have played in 17 of them and won 13, including the last nine dating back to February 2004. As mentioned earlier, England have visited this ground three times before and have lost on all 3. The first losing by five wickets while being bowled out for just 88 in 46.1 overs in November 2003 on their last tour. Sri Lanka knocked the runs off in only 13.5 overs and with ten wickets in hand.
The leading run scorer on this ground is Mahela Jayawardene with 508 runs in 15 innings (average 42.33) while the head wicket-taker is Murali with 29 in just 12 games (average 13.34).
This will be the 41st time these two sides have met in an ODI. The last time before this series was during the World Cup in the West Indies where Sri Lanka won by the narrow margin of just two runs. Sri Lanka scored 235 all out and, thanks to Ravi Bopara, came agonisingly close. The head-to-head score is 20-20.
The highest individual score for England v Sri Lanka is 130 by David Gower at Taunton in 1983.
The highest individual score for Sri Lanka v England is 152 by Sanath Jayasuriya at Headingley in 2006.
The best bowling performance for England v Sri Lanka is 5-32 by Mark Ealham at Perth in 1998/99.
The best bowling performance for Sri Lanka v England is 6-29, also by Sanath Jayasuriya at Moratuwa in 1992/93.
Both the teams fielded unchanged team.
