England reached 92 for two from 15 overs before heavy rain forced the match to be abandoned in Dambulla
I’m down for the second ODI on Saturday with Simon Burnton. One of us will have to start work at 4.30am, probably with nothing to do other than watch the rain fall. Good thing I made that urgent dental appointment for 6am on Saturday morning.
The teams will stay in Dambulla for the second washout of the series on Saturday. There is at least a reserve day for that match, although at this rate we may need a reserve month.
