That's it from Colombo where England have much to think about. We travel to Hambantota for the third ODI on Wednesday, back as a day-night match so a 9am GMT start, 2.30pm local time, join us then...

Here's the losing captain, what's his name? Oh it's Alastair Cook..."We thought it was a good toss to win but I'm not sure that was the right choice. Sri Lanka totally outplayed us in all departments today. We assessed the pitch wrong but it's how you play and Sri Lanka put us under pressure with the ball. Then you end up having to try stuff in the field and keep players up and that gives class players the chance to hit boundaries. We had a few big shots that just evaded fielders but they played so well. It's been a tough few days, we've had no practise time with the rain, it'll be good to get out of Colombo and have a fresh start. We've got some good players and we can bounce back."

Angelo Mathews: "It feels great. The bowlers did the job, Dilshan was brilliant and then Mahela and Sanga showed how to bat on that wicket. It was playing a bit slow so I opened with Dilshan, especially as Moeen likes faster bowlers. I keep changing the bowlers because they're all good and they were brilliant today. Our fielding has picked up a little bit but we still can improve." Man of the Match goes to Mahela Jayawardene.

Dear Alastair, if you care about England's chances this winter, pls resign and just concentrate on Test cricket...#getHalesin

Suyog: "Dilshan should get Man of the match here...wickets of Cook and Ali and crucial hits at the start of the innings."

Presentation coming up shortly. Man of the match choice? Ajantha Mendis for his three wickets? Or the crowd choice no doubt, Jayawardene for his graceful innings in the chase?

England had a batting performance to be fairly pleased with in the opening rubber but there's nothing to take away from today - save perhaps more runs for Ravi Bopara. It's been a miserable day. They got nothing going with the bat, struggling badly once again to spin, and were fired out for a very poor total which their bowlers were unable to make any impression with in the second half of the game.

About as comprehensive a victory as you're likely to see that, Sri Lanka have won by eight wickets, strolling to victory in a cakewalk of a run chase that looked straightforward at tea but Mahela Jayawardene in particular, along with his old mucker Kumar Sangakkara, have given England the run around in the field, teasing them for a while with careful accumulation and then hurrying to the target after drinks. Easy peasy.

So this should be the final over, finish it off Sanga...

Told you he's brought out the give-it-a-tonk-I'm-hungry bat...
