   Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat in the seventh and final one-day international against England at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka have already sealed the series 4-2, and both sides will be giving an opportunity to those members who have not had a good run yet.

Kumar Sangakkara is six runs short of the highest number of runs in a calendar year across all formats.

It is set to be an emotional day for the hosts, with two of the true greats in the game, Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, playing their last match at home soil.

SRI LANKA: DPMD Jayawardene, TM Dilshan, KC Sangakkara (wk), S Prasanna, AD Mathews (capt), LD Chandimal, NLTC Perera, BMAJ Mendis, HDRL Thirimanne, RAS Lakmal, MDK Perera

ENGLAND: AN Cook (capt), MM Ali, AD Hales, JE Root, JWA Taylor, EJG Morgan, JC Buttler (wk), CR Woakes, CJ Jordan, JC Tredwell, HF Gurney
