England vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI at Leeds, , Jul 01 2011 - Match Result

So, Sri Lanka level the series with a 69-run win. England handed out a thrashing at The Oval on Tuesday, and Sri Lanka have completed an equally comprehensive win at Headingley. Jaywardene's masterful century set up a demanding total, and England just couldn't get a partnership going. All of Sri Lanka's frontline bowlers played a role, with Lakmal and Randiv having particularly good days. While we wait for the presentations, it's worth having a look at Andrew McGlashan's Plays of the Day. If you've had enough of cricket, then head over to ESPN.co.uk for the tennis, where Murray and Nadal are tied at 1-1. Failing that, have a look at Andrew Miller's bulletin.

"We didnt play as well as we did at The Oval, and that's probably one of the reasons we lost," says Alastair Cook, slightly obviously. "It was gettable, but a lot of our batters didnt play the long innings like Mahela did. We didnt hit our strap in the powerplays and they got away from us. I'm fully confident that with the characters in our side we can bounce back on Sunday."

"We've done a lot of thinking over the last few days, and we've come back after that Oval defeat," says a very happy Tillakaratne Dilshan. He singles out Mahela and Sanga for praise, obviously, saying: "They are the two experienced guys in the middle, they know their role and they did it today. I was disappointed to get out because of my running between the wickets. Malinga, Suraj and Suranga Lakmal, who is a youngster, bowled really well, the fielding was good too."

Mahela Jayawardene is the Man of the Match, and gets some champers and a medal, and a chat with Nick Knight as his reward. "This was a very good response from the boys. 310 was a bonus, we though 270 would be a good total. Once kumar and I settled, we managed to up the rate. We knew that the initial 15 to 20 overs was crucial, and once the ball got older we could attack certain bowlers. We also rode a bit of luck inbetween. It was important for us to get back into the series after that first game."

And there you have it. That's all from your commentary team - Sahil Dutta, Liam Brickhill and Andrew Miller. Thanks for joining us, and thanks especially for all the great feedback. We hope to see you again on Sunday for the third ODI, which will start at 10.45am BST. Until then, goodbye!

Here's Suranga Lakmal

"Disappointing fron England but I'm afraid all too predictable," writes Richard. "We've got some big hitters but they seem out of touch - time to look elsewhere perhaps. You'd get a better strike rate from a spent match than some of the present incumbents...."
