An lbw dismissal to Dunith Wellalage means England’s captain Harry Brook has been eliminated by spinners 4 occasions in a row at this World Cup.
Overall he now averages 19.1 towards spin in T20 internationals, in comparison with 46.2 towards the quicks.
Jacob Bethell, who performed a horrible slog to fall to Maheesh Theekshana on Sunday, has bought out to a spinner in each innings.
Jos Buttler was pinned in entrance by Wellalage, although he regarded equally as troubled by the seamers.
Buttler, who has made three single-figure scores in a row, was the one participant from the anticipated XI for Tuesday to coach on Monday night.
Given England hardly ever practice when there’s solely at some point between matches, that exhibits Buttler’s battle to seek out type.
Tuesday’s match is once more in Pallekele, the place England have now received 4 T20s in a row in a matter of weeks. It is turning into a house distant from house within the Sri Lankan jungle.
The match will even be performed on a contemporary, unused pitch, which England will hope is extra suited to clean-hitting. If not they, in fact, have their very own potent spin assault as Sunday’s win confirmed.
