Harry Brook’s double century went in vain as the Lankan Lions created history on Thursday. Liam Dawson played instead of Adil Rashid. Adil Rashid has rarely been missing as he has played 159 of their 186 men's ODIs since June 2015.
"[Even] in hindsight, I don't know," Brook said. "We brought Daws in for Rash, and I think Daws was probably the pick of the bowlers. He kept the stumps in play for the majority of the game and I thought Daws was probably our best bowler today."
Nasser Hussain points out England's weakness
"In the last two or three years, if you look at all the tables and all the stats, England have struggled to take wickets in the middle overs," Hussain said. "That, for me, is a box that England need to tick. Obviously you'll get [Jofra] Archer back and that will help [provide] a little bit of firepower. Maybe Adil's just come off his best as well, a little bit. He was left out today.
Sri Lanka pull off a thriller
Coming to the match, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to field first. England had a solid start to the innings as opener Tom Banton scored a fifty, and then Joe Root played a knock of 69 runs off 66 deliveries. Then it was all Harry Brook, as he played a superb knock of 202 runs and became the first English batter to score a double hundred.
While chasing, Avishka Fernando got off to a flying start but failed to score a well-deserved hundred as he was dismissed for 97 runs. Pavan Rathnayake played a knock of 130 runs, and Dasun Shanaka scored 97 runs. But a quickfire 61 off 27 deliveries from Janith Liyanage helped the side to chase down the target with two wickets in hand.
