One day cricket is a tough sell sometimes.
You can have a bad odi game, but in general it's far more varied and interesting than T20. This should be a relatively simple run chase but if Sri Lanka's bowlers, who are really good at home, can get them back into it it'll be a really good game.
Used to like this format a lot more but recently I’ve found it less engrossing than test cricket and not as exciting as T20. It’s kind of neither here nor there.
Probably not helped by all the money in the T20 game.
Very watchful start by England having won the toss and having a bat.
Not sure about this rehan opening... Why not open with an opener? Buttler has done it multiple times. Rehan averaging 13 in 9 odi matches.

Root with his third 50 in a row in the series. Bethell makes 50 as well.
Suspect without the world cup still being hugely popular this format would already be dead. Sadly.
Decent position for England, Joe Root loves Sri Lanka
Great innings from Root
The best of Brook this, really well timed charge
Looks like an incredible innings by Brook. Came in 25 overs after Root but now overtaken him. And Root is striking at over a hundred himself!
That was incredible fielding
Brook's second fifty came off 17 balls
….enjoyed that, some hitting by Brook.
This bowling is club seconds standard so far
