N Thushara to Tim Robinson, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!
Tim Robinson and Will Young are at the crease. Tim Robinson is on strike. N Thushara will open the attack
All in readiness, off we go...
We got one change to our expert XI. Do remember to check the updated info on our Fantasy Handbook guide...
Santner: Looks very similar (the surface), we probably would have bowled as well
Asalanka: We are going to bowl first
Pitch report: "The pitch looks harder and there is a lot of moisture underneath which could assist the spinners and expect this to play better than the first game," reckons Aamer Sohail.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to field
18:53 local, 13:23 GMT: Good news, people!
18:35 local, 13:05 GMT: Ah, what do we know!
Is it a win toss and chase pitch? Most likely, yes.
Will there be any weather interruptions? It has been raining in and around Dambulla over the past few days, but thankfully the radar seems clear for the duration of the game.
What are the conditions looking like? If yesterday's surface was anything to go by, any total in excess of 150 might prove to be challenging
Players to watch out for: Wanindu Hasaranga's leg spin combined with Dunith Wellalage's canny left-arm orthodox spin and Theekshana's pool of variations left the New Zealand batting in a state of tentativeness yesterday. Skipper Asalanka had an off day with the ball, but he has proven to be more than handy in recent times. Expect Sri Lankan spinners to rule the roost once again.
