Ian Forth has logged on, which is always an enjoyable moment on the OBO. “OB Jato makes a very pertinent point but my eye was drawn to “wreck havoc”. It’s more usually “wreak havoc” but wreak’s one of those funny words that only really likes hanging out with one friend, to wit, in its case, ‘havoc’. See also: ‘fell swoop’; Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali; Teresa May and her cat.”
One change also for Sri Lanka with Milinda Siriwardana replacing Suranag Lakmal. That means doubts over both Nuwan Pradeep (injured finger) and Lasith Malinga (flew home to attend funeral) have been resolved with the two bowlers making the starting line.
Sri Lanka XI: Dimuth Karunaratne (c), Lahiru Thirimanne, Kusal Perera (wk), Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Isuru Udana, Milinda Siriwardana, Nuwan Pradeep, Lasith Malinga
