Live on Skysports 1: Tue 13.00: Following their T20 defeat to Sri Lanka at the weekend, England are now 8/11 (Coral) to win the 1st ODI.
England were beaten pretty easily by some classy Sri Lankan batting on Saturday and the visitors come as Betdaq’s 2.33 (4/3) outsiders for the opening ODI game, a price worth considering.
The Oval has not been a great ODI ground for the hosts in modern times; just 2 wins from the last 10 ODI contests at The Oval have gone England’s way, Sri Lanka last winning here in 2006 by 46 runs.
Also, Sri Lanka are 6/4 with to win the 5 ODI series, a good price, and 33/1 with Boylesports to repeat the 5-0 ODI whitewash they achieved on their last visit to England back in 2006.
