How to watch Sri Lanka vs England: live stream ODI cricket wherever you are

With the English summer subsiding and the County Championship now at an end, cricket fans could be forgiven for entering a period of mourning. But fear not, England are in Sri Lanka which means weeks of international cricket are now ahead of us, beginning with five ODI matches between the two nations. Best of all, in this guide we tell you how you can watch Eoin Morgan's side notch every run and take every wicket of the series via a live stream. Just keep scrolling down.

With the Cricket World Cup just eight months away, ODI matches now have that extra bit of spice which makes England's five-match series clash with Sri Lanka all the more appetising. Sitting at number one in the ODI world rankings, England have every right to feel confident heading into this fortnight of 50-over face-offs. But given their history of travails on Sri Lankan soil, captain Eoin Morgan will need the likes of Joe Root to step up with the bat and Moeen Ali to continue his summer's form with the ball if his side are to start their autumn tour with a victory.

The Sri Lankans lie down in eighth in the world rankings and need a dramatic improvement on recent performances. Dinesh Chandimal is the new captain charged with leading an upturn in fortunes, and his knock of 77 in a recent warm-up match with England provides a glimmer of hope that he could be the man to do it.

Whatever happens in Dambulla, Pallekele and Colombo in these five matches, we're sure to see some fascinating cricket, so make sure you follow the instructions below to live stream the ODI series between Sri Lanka and England, wherever you are in the world.
