Match guide
England face Sri Lanka in a one-day international at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday 29 October, with first ball scheduled for 08:00 UK time. It is England's second ODI against Sri Lanka in this international series, after the meeting at Rawalpindi on 22 October.The sides also met in September, when England hosted Sri Lanka. England took that ODI series 2–1: an 89-run win, a 16-run defeat after Sri Lanka made 321/6, then a 223-run victory built on 355/7 in the decider. England also won the second and third T20Is of that visit, by six and eight wickets. Going into this series, our records showed 41 meetings across formats since June 1983, with 30 England wins, 10 defeats and one draw, so Sri Lanka have a long record to overturn as well as recent form.
