Changes in England ODI squad before Sri Lanka series decider

Buttler scored 31 in England’s win in the first ODI, but played a central role during their chase in the second ODI. The wicketkeeper-batter had blazed off with a quick-fire innings after walking in to bat at 157 for three, keeping England on track for a target of 322 runs. However, in the 38th over, when Buttler ran two to get to 66, he suffered discomfort in his left hamstring and subsequently, left the field. He hobbled back onto the pitch at a later stage, but exceptional death bowling meant that he could only add three more to his total and England fell short by 16 runs.
