Sky Sports are showing a nice chat between Sonny Baker and Stuart Broad. “Everything about him reminds me of Darren Gough” says Nick Knight afterwards.

Taha met the exuberant 23 year last year.

Teams:

England 1 Jos Buttler (wk), 2 Aneurin Donald, 3 Harry Brook (c), 4 Jordan Cox, 5 Tom Banton, 6 Will Jacks, 7 Jamie Overton, 8 Liam Dawson, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Sonny Baker.

Sri Lanka 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Lahiru Udara, 3 Kamil Mishara (wk), 4 Charith Asalanka (c), 5 Kamindu Mendis, 6 Dasun Shanaka, 7 Wanindu Hasaranga, 8 Tharindu Rathnayake, 9 Eshan Malinga, 10 Dilshan Madushanka, 11 Nuwan Thushara

The pitch looks a belter and Harry Brook is confident of chasing down whatever Sri Lanka set them. He confirms England are unchanged. For Sri Lanka, Dushmantha Chameera is rested and replace by Nuwan Thushara.

Hello and welcome the final T20I in the series between England and Sri Lanka from Old Trafford. Harry Brook’s side are gunning to be the number on side in the world in the shortest format (they currently sit in second place) and will be going all out for a 3-0 series win today.

They will be watched today by Stephen Fleming, the new head honcho of the Test side who is at Old Trafford and has been speaking to the media this morning. He’s already been spied on the outfield with his England sweater on chatting away amiably to predecessor Brendon McCullum and new boy Kevin Pietersen. Decent top three that.

Plenty to get stuck into then as well as the action on the field. The captains are out there to toss up, let’s do this.

Play starts at 2.30pm. Drop us a line here.
