Duckett's remarkable innings
England's Ben Duckett scored 166 runs in the ODI against Sri Lanka, setting a new career-best and bringing him closer to a historic record.
Duckett, who has already hit three ODI centuries this summer, faces the possibility of equalling Harry Brook's 202-run performance from an earlier match in the series.
With 164 runs off 126 balls, Duckett's innings highlights his consistency in ODIs, despite facing criticism for his batting.
England's promotion and Sri Lanka's strategy
England made changes to their lineup, with Jordan Cox and Will Jacks being promoted ahead of Joe Root.
Sri Lanka, already through to the final of the ODI Tri-series, showed their strength with crucial contributions from Pavan Rathnayake (130) and Dasun Shanaka (97) in the previous match against England.
England's batting performance, especially from Duckett, suggests they are looking to end their losing streak in Pakistan and boost morale before a series in Australia.
