England 33/1 in 3.3 Overs | England vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I Live Score: England opt to bowl against Sri Lanka in Manchester

England vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I Live Score: England have won the toss and elected to bat first in the third and final T20I against Sri Lanka in Manchester, with the hosts having already clinched the series 2-0. England captain Harry Brook said his team had chased well on a surface that looked good for batting, expecting the strong wind and unusual size of the ground to play a role.

“We’re going to bowl tonight. We’re up for the chase. It looks like a good surface and hopefully we can restrict them to a low score,” Brook said.

Brook also stressed the importance of adapting to the conditions and said England will be looking to make the wind work in their favor while also trying for early wickets. Meanwhile, the visitors made one change as Dushmanth Chameer was replaced by Nuwan Thushara.

Asalanka said he would also opt to bowl first if he won the toss. He identified the batting as an area that Sri Lanka needed to improve, especially by building on their strong power-play in the second T20I and avoiding wickets at regular intervals.

For Sri Lanka, rapid adaptation remains a major challenge in a place with different dimensions and conditions. England, meanwhile, are looking to end the series with another win after dominating the first two matches.
