England face prospect of early World Cup elimination after defeat by Sri Lanka - Kridangan Sports
As England scored 309-6 during their allotted 50 overs in their World Cup cricket match against Sri Lanka in Pool A of the tournament, a close contest was envisaged with bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad targeting the opposition opening batsman. Joe Root had scored 121 for England and had been ably supported by Ian Bell who claimed 49 runs with Jos Buttler adding a rapid 39 towards the end of the innings. What followed served as an example of quality batting but also some wayward bowling.
