When Sri Lanka played a slow innings in Leeds with Angelo Mathews scoring 85 runs at snail's pace everyone started slamming them, but then England came in and showed how tough it was to bat on the wicket as they choked and lost the match. The Twitterati couldn't believe what was happening.
Brief scores: Sri Lanka 232/9 in 50 overs (Angelo Mathews 85*, Avishka Fernando 49; Mark Wood 3-40, Jofra Archer 3-52) beat England 212/10 in 47 overs ( Ben Stokes 82*, Joe Root 57; Lasith Malinga 4-43, Dhananjaya de Silva 3-32) by 20 runs

Things don't look good for England!
England were always going to have one or two nightmare performances. Because we are England. No matter how good we have become you just cannot forget where we've came from... 😂😂😂 not a great time for it though with Aus, India and NZ to come!

And the streak ends!
It's been 11 years since England failed to chase a target of 233 or below at home in completed ODIs.
