A very efficient win for England by 81 runs on the D/L method. They constructed a good innings, despite having to restart after the rain, then defended it very well. Chris Jordan the star with bat and ball, but plenty of other good performances from the likes of Ian Bell, Gary Ballance and Harry Gurney. The early-season tonic England needed, but Sri Lanka can bounce back. It is only their second defeat in 20 matches, and both have been to England. I'll bring you news from the presentation shortly.
Angelo Mathews "It was a pretty poor performance, we were not up to the mark with the ball. It was an off day for them. A poor effort by the whole team. You can't control the weather, but we played some poor cricket. The wicket played pretty well. The confidence remains high, it's just one game."
Alastair Cook "It was very professional. Sometimes we though we had better of conditions and sometimes not. Everyone did well. Gary started really, we know what Jos can hit like and then Jordan as well. The lads played [Malinga] really well. Even the great bowlers can go the distance. That extra 30-runs made a big difference."
No surprises, the Man of the Match is Chris Jordan. "Just twisted by ankle a little but nothing serious. I enjoyed whacking the ball and bowling with some aggression. [The short ball] was something we spoke about after not finishing well the other night. It's nice to get one back on Malinga after the other night."
Well, that just about wraps things up from here. We'll be back on Sunday for the second match from Durham. Until then from Andrew McGlashan and Alex Winter it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
