Sri Lanka tour of England 2011

With the series tied at 2-2 and two big series coming up at home for both SL and England, there is a lot at stake for both the teams.

England one-day captain Alastair Cook is determined to avoid taking his fine form for granted as he leads the side into their series-decider against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford here Saturday.

Stuart Broad has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during his team's second ODI against Sri Lanka in Leeds.

The 69 run victory by Sri Lanka at Headingly has infused a fresh lease of life into the series which was threatening to be a rather dull, one sided affair after the first match.

James Anderson has revealed he is using the crushing disappointments of England's World Cup campaign to spur him on in the current one-day series against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankan cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya's controversial farewell to his international career ended in disappointing fashion here on Tuesday as he made just two runs in the first ODI against England.

Alastair Cook is glad that the Decision Review System would be in place for his side's series against India next month after being made mandatory in all Tests and ODIs by the ICC.

England will be looking to turn the corner in the ODIs while Sri Lanka will look for a new beginning.

Sri Lanka's Thilina Kandamby said the side were about to suffer a double blow with the news that interim coach Stuart Law, as well as veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya, were about to leave the team.

England called up Tim Bresnan to their squad for the forthcoming one-day series against Sri Lanka on Monday, following the Yorkshire all-rounder's recovery from a calf injury.
