England beat Sri Lanka by 89 runs in Tuesday’s first ODI and they are hot favourites for the second game of the series, starting at Headingley at 12.30pm on Thursday.Sri Lanka claimed a shock victory over England in Leeds during the league stage of the 2019 World Cup but this year’s meetings between the teams have been one-sided.England’s victory on Tuesday stretched their white-ball winning streak against the Lankans to 10 matches and Yorkshire batter Joe Root could inspire them to more success at his home ground.talkSPORT BET offer: Get up to £30 in free betsEngland v Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Betting TipsJoe Root to be England top batter @ 11/4No century in match @ 6/5Kusal Mendis to score over 25.5 runs @ 17/20 Root’s runscoring spree should continue in LeedsJoe Root was dismissed for 44 in the first ODI, bowled by a lovely delivery from Sri Lanka’s debutant spinner Sachindu Colombage.That was a significant innings in a low-scoring game in which Harry Brook (67) was the only batsman to make a half-century.Root is enjoying a golden run in 50-over cricket this year, starting with scores of 61, 75 and 111 not out in January’s series victory in Sri Lanka.He lit up July’s home series against India with unbeaten knocks of 76, 99 and 74 and should be backed to anchor the innings at his home ground Headingley.Root has an impressive ODI record in Leeds, scoring two centuries and two fifties in seven innings at the venue.He has reached 50 in 14 of his 30 innings against Sri Lanka in this format and England’s in-form number three is a worthy favourite to top-score on Thursday. Bowlers likely to stay in the contestLate-season conditions can be tough for batting in England, who were bowled out for 131 by South Africa in last September’s ODI at Headingley.Odds-against quotes are worth taking about no century to be scored in the second game of the three-match series, especially given Sri Lanka’s flaky top order.Brook’s 67 was comfortably the highest score of the match at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, when England batted first.Sri Lanka crumbled to 176 all out, chasing 266, and there is every chance of them being bowled out cheaply if they bat first in Leeds. Sri Lanka skipper can lead from the frontThe tourists were relieved to welcome back Kusal Mendis from injury as he captained the side, kept wicket and batted at number three in the first ODI.Mendis provided some resistance in his 60-ball innings of 42 and he can clear a runs line of 25.5 at Headingley.The right-hander made 93 not out, 26 and 20 in three home ODIs against England in January and slammed 72 off 62 balls against the West Indies in June.He has reached 20 in five of his last six one-dayers in England and made a useful 46 in Sri Lanka’s 2019 World Cup win in Leeds.talkSPORT BET offer: Get up to £30 in free bets Remember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry or depressedGamCare – www.gamcare.org.ukGamble Aware – www.gambleaware.orgFor help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk to be excluded from all UK-regulated gambling websites.Commercial content notice: Taking one of the bookmaker offers featured in this article may result in a payment to talkSPORT. 18+.
