  "account": "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.",
