England unchanged for second ODI

England unsurprisingly stuck with a winning team for today's second NatWest Series match against Sri Lanka at Headingley.

After their opening victory at The Oval earlier this week, the hosts were hoping to go 2-0 up in this five-match one-day international series.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, made one enforced change, young batsman Dinesh Chandimal coming in for veteran Sanath Jayasuriya, who retired after his last hurrah in Tuesday's defeat.

England captain Alastair Cook decided to bowl first on a sunny morning.

Ravi Bopara, Steven Finn and Samit Patel - all selected in England's squad, but yet to feature in this series - have been released to play for their counties in the Friends Life t20.

Chris Woakes has been retained as 12th man.
