After a successful series against the West Indies, England return to face Sri Lanka at what should be a very lively Old Trafford. You can use a VPN, such as NordVPN, to unblock England vs Sri Lanka live streams from anywhere.
The key headline for the hosts is the absence of Ben Stokes. The skipper was injured playing for Northern Supercharges in The Hundred and is out for the rest of the summer. Ollie Pope will lead the side in his absence, with big-hitting batter Harry Brooks serving as vice-captain. Matt Potts returns to the side, as does Dan Lawrence, replacing the injured Zak Crawley at the top of the order. Jamie Smith keeps the gloves and he, Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson all jump up the order as England try to fill that Ben Stokes-sized hole.
This is The Lions’ first visit to English shores for a Test series since 2016. The legendary Sanath Jayasuriya is currently interim head coach, with Dhananjaya de Silva the captain. Under this leadership, they won all three Tests against Bangladesh and Afghanistan. However, they previously lost all four Tests played against Pakistan and New Zealand, showing how much of a challenge this series will be.
