Sri Lanka v England

The 4th ODI match
Sunday December 7th
at Ranasinghe Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
starting at 10:00 local time, 04:30 GMT.

England will be led in this match by Eoin Morgan after captain Alistair Cook was given a one match ban for the team's slow over rate in the 3rd ODI on Wednesday. Bit harsh, but he was on a final warning and can have no excuses really. England will probably recall Ian Bell to the side to cover for Cook's absence, although this could mean a first match of the tour for James Taylor.

Sri Lanka have made changes to their squad for his match. Out go Thilina Kandamby and Shaminda Eranga and in come left-arm chinaman bowler Lakshan Sandakan, middle-order batsman Ashan Priyanjan and seamer Suranga Lakmal.

Doubt that I will see a ball bowled in this match as we're away for the weekend and Lenny Henry hasn't got Sky Sports yet in his hotel chain.
