England v Sri Lanka: first men's one-day international live updates

England and Sri Lanka met in the first men's one-day international of the last series of the English summer, with over-by-over updates starting from 12.30pm BST on 22 September 2026.

Mark Wood has called it a day at the highest level. He took 18 wickets when England won the 2019 World Cup and nine at 12 when they won the T20 equivalent in 2022, and he won the Ashes at home and thrived in Australia, too. The preceding T20 series saw Sri Lanka defeated by 119 runs, by six wickets with 47 balls to spare, and by eight wickets with 62 balls to spare.
