Sri Lanka

Toss: Kumar Sanga has chosen to bat. "It looks a bit soft, there will be spongy bounce and it will do more in the lights. We are playing Mendis as second spinner and Kulasekara, Malinga and Angelo as our fast bowlers."

Taylor: "I too would have batted first. It might spin a bit later on. Hamish Bennett comes in for Mills. It's always exciting to play a world cup game."


Pitch report by Simon Doul. "There is a grass cover and the ball will move around. I would expect the teams to choose bowl first here
