1st ENG-SL ODI underway.
England chose to bowl, SL 107/3 off 22.2.
I haven't been watching, but England crushed them by 5 wickets with 91 balls left.
2nd Eng-SL ODI today.
England need 36 off 88 to win the series.
Morgan and Root should probably see these off.
England won by 8 wickets.
Third Eng-SL ODI abandoned for rain. Not even a chance of D/L.
The entire England team will be replaced for the Pak ODI series because of ... well you can probably guess.
Quote:
England have been forced to select a new team for the Pakistan ODI series after the whole squad went into isolation due to seven COVID cases.
Three players and four members of the management team tested positive after taking PCR tests.
In a statement, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: "In collaboration with Public Health England, Public Health Wales and Bristol Local Health Authority, those impacted will now observe a period of self-isolation from 4 July following the UK government's protocol on quarantine.
"The remaining members of the party have been deemed close contacts and will also isolate.
"The ECB have confirmed the Royal London ODIs and the Vitality IT20s against Pakistan will go ahead. Ben Stokes will return to England duties and captain the squad - which will be named in the next few hours."
The isolation period will span all three ODIs against Pakistan, which start on Thursday in Cardiff. Thursday's match at Sophia Gardens is followed by games at Lords on 10 July and Edgbaston three days later.

Keep it up lads.

Must be a bit embarrassing for them to keep losing to a B team...

The bacon sarnies I am sure will be itching to get a win after their embarrassing performances so far.
England won the toss and bowl.
