Overview

• England remain the tournament's only unbeaten side after two wins and target a third against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
• The R. Premadasa Stadium's pitch five is scheduled for a third game in 10 days after use on 2 and 5 October, with conditions expected to turn sharply.
• Tammy Beaumont said batters have a clear method for these surfaces, prioritising patience and "earning the right to go big" over early aggression.
• England's spin options have led the way, with Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith on five wickets each and Charlie Dean and Alice Capsey adding six between them.
• The team aim to build momentum before sell-out meetings with India and Australia, with DRS also in focus after several on-field calls were overturned against Bangladesh.
