Kusal Mendis hits 121 to propel Sri Lanka to 321-6 in 2nd ODI against England
LEEDS, England (AP) --- Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and hit a
100-ball 121 in a team total of 321-6 in the second ODI against England at
sunny Headingley on Thursday.
Two days after winning by 89 runs in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street,
England will look to chase 322 and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the
three-match series.
Mendis' seventh ODI century contained 14 fours and three sixes, with the
captain putting on a 137-run partnership for the second wicket with opener
Kamindu Mendis (54).
Pavan Rathnayake added 48 off 39 balls in the middle order.
The Sri Lankans are seeking a first win of their white-ball tour after losing
the T20 series 3-0.
England selected an unchanged team, while Sri Lanka brought in Eshan Malinga to
replace Dushmantha Chameera.
The final match of the series is at The Oval on Sunday.
