Sri Lanka vs England live streaming: Where to watch 1st ODI match live?

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat against England in the first One Day International of the three-match series at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Thursday.

 

England made one change from their pre-announced playing 11, with Will Jacks missing out due to illness and Rehan Ahmed coming into the side. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, took some notable calls, leaving out Wanindu Hasaranga, while Sadeera Samarawickrama made way for the return of Dhananjaya de Silva. The changes appear to be made with an eye on the T20 World Cup, which is just two weeks away.  Check ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 full schedule here
