Rain halts third ODI between England and Sri Lanka in Bristol
June 26, 2016 11:27 pm
England lead only 1-0, with two to play, after rain in Bristol stopped them cashing in on an effective bowling display against Sri Lanka.
Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett shared six wickets to restrict the tourists to 248 for nine. But forecast rain set in to prevent all but four overs of England’s reply – with the total a nascent, and inconclusive, 16 for one.
The consequent no-result means all is therefore still to play for in the Royal London Series, resuming at The Oval on Wednesday.
