Sri Lanka wins toss, bats first in 2nd ODI against England

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first in the second ODI against England at Headingley on Thursday. This marked their first attempt at securing a victory during their white-ball tour. The previous day, Sri Lanka had suffered a 3-0 defeat in the T20 series and a 89-run loss in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street. For their upcoming match, England fielded the same lineup as before, while Sri Lanka made a substitution, bringing in Eshan Malinga to replace Dushmantha Chameera. The decisive third ODI of the series is scheduled to take place at The Oval on Sunday.
