England won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sri Lanka in the 5th ODI being played at Pallekele. Sri Lanka are looking to wrap up the series with victory in the 5th ODI against England today.
The Lankans are 3-1 up in the series, following their victory in the fourth one-day international on Sunday, and with England still finding themselves and their best team in ODI cricket, smart money will be on Sri Lanka ending the series as a contest in the 5th ODI of this seven-match series.
Sri Lanka
Dilshan, Kusal Perera, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Mathews (c), Thirimanne, Jeevan Mendis, Thisara Perera, Senanayake, Prasad, Ajantha Mendis.
England
Cook (c), Ali, Taylor, Root, Bopara, Morgan, Buttler, Woakes, Jordan, Tredwell, Finn
