England are a test away from completing a perfect Test summer. It has been going well for them with few challenges through the home season and Ollie Pope will be looking to finish with a good record as Captain in his first stint.

ENG vs SL Weather Report

The weather across London does not look to convincing with a lot of rain in the forecast across the Test.

ENG vs SL Pitch Report

With the season winding down the pitches could start being a little more worn. There will be some dryness and turn going around with pacers likely to have a role to play with seam and bounce rather than swing. Batting first could be a better choice.

ENG vs SL Key Players

Josh Hull

The 20 year old, tall left arm seamer has been getting a lot of attention coming into the game. He had a good warm-up against Sri Lanka in a tour game and his potential looks really good with Josh Hull capable of getting the pace up.

Angelo Mathews

Mathews, the most experienced player in the line-up is one of the few survivors from Sri Lanka's last Test visit in England. He was the captain on that trip and returns with Sri Lanka still in a similar spot, struggling with their ever long transition from a golden phase before that 2016 tour.

ENG vs SL Match Tips

England could be favorites with home advantage and a talented line-up.
