Match FactsJuly 5, 2016 Start time 6.30pm (1730GMT)Big PictureEngland return to the format that provided heartbreak earlier this year when Carlos Brathwaite grabbed the World T20 from under their noses. But the game moves on and judging by the way they played in the one-day series against Sri Lanka, their belief with the white-ball remains undimmed.A one-off T20 at the end of a tour feels a lonely fixture but there is added spice to this game with England on the verge of unleashing Tymal Mills, the Sussex left-arm quick, who is purely a T20 player these days due to a congenital back condition and is making a fine stab and forging a career from it.If Sri Lanka thought they were peppered in the Test and ODIs from Englands quicks - especially Liam Plunkett in the one-dayers - then they had better make sure chest pads, arm guards, and other assorted protective equipment is securely in place at the Ageas Bowl.This is their last chance to take something from a dispiriting tour. Angelo Mathews has looked a more forlorn captain the longer the trip has gone - exasperated by repeated failings in his team - but insists he has the stomach to continue leading them. Whether that decision is taken out of his hands on return home remains to be seen.The format has not provided much solace for Sri Lanka amid their struggles. England knocked them out of the World T20 and they have won just three of 13 T20s they have played in 2016 - and only one of those against a Full Member. They may as well go out swinging and see if it provides a change in fortune.Form guideEngland LWWWW (completed matches, most recent first) Sri Lanka LLLWLIn the spotlightHe left Englands best batsmen hopping around the Centurion Park nets. He has roughed up Chris Gayle. And just when the batsmen are camped on the back foot, he has confounded them with a slower ball. You dare not take your eyes off Tymal Mills when he is bowling. He admits it wont always go well - as a career economy rate of 8.10 attests to - but this season he has produced four-over spells of 3 for 15 and 1 for 15 off four oversKusal Perera will likely be in the firing line early against Mills. He hasnt quite managed to translate the promising form he showed in the Lords Test, and then with a century against Ireland in Malahide, but that is not surprising given his enforced absence of six months after the erroneous drugs suspension.Team newsTrevor Bayliss wants Mills in the final XI and though he is not the sole voice in selection it would seem perverse to name Mills in the squad and not give him a game. Liam Dawson, the Hampshire allrounder who was in the World T20 squad, has been confirmed to make his debut while Dawid Malan, the Middlesex left-hander, could make it three new caps. Alex Hales, Joe Root and Moeen Ali have all been rested.England (possible) 1 Jason Roy, 2 Dawid Malan, 3 James Vince, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Jos Buttler (wk), 6 Liam Dawson, 7 Adil Rashid, 8 Chris Jordan, 9 David Willey, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Tymal MillsDhananjaya de Silva could replace Upul Tharanga who is not part of the T20 squad.Chaminda Bandara was given his ODI debut in Cardiff and though he went for 83 there isnt much to lose playing him in the T20 where left-armers have proved particularly effective. Suraj Randiv, the offspinner, could also come into the equation.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Kusal Perera, 2 Danushka Gunathilaka, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal(wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Seekkuge Prasanna, 7 Dhananjaya de Silva, 8 Dasun Shanaka, 9 Chaminda Bandara/Suraj Randiv, 10 Nuwan Pradeep, 11 Suranga LakmalPitch and conditionsThe pitches at the Ageas are normally excellent for international cricket, offering pace for both bowlers and batsmen to work with, although the recent wet weather could make things tougher this time for the groundsman. The forecast is for a dry and mild evening.Stats and triviaEngland played their first T20I on this ground, against Australia in 2005 when they won by 100 runs by bowling out Australia for 79.James Vince, who plays for Hampshire, has batted four times in T20Is and has not scored fewer than 22. He was Man of the Series against Pakistan in the UAE.The Ageas Bowl is comfortably the fastest scoring T20I venue in England with runs coming at 9.07 over its three games. Worldwide, of grounds to have hosted three or more T20Is, only Mumbai and Pune have seen runs come quicker.The highest score in T20Is was made on this ground: Aaron Finchs 156 in 2013.QuotesI saw him at a practice in South Africa when he bowled to the boys and again the other night against Kent and it was impressive stuff. Good to see some batsmen ducking and weaving. Id love to see him play, I wont be the sole selector but from my point of view it would be great to see someone like that charge and give it everything. Trevor Bayliss is eager to unleash Tymal MillsHopefully quite a number of our players have grown as cricketers even though we havent had the results we wanted.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Adelaide Ovals carefully prepared day/night Test pitch has been tweaked as a result of last summers day three finish to offer less to bowlers - two millimetres less to be precise.The height of the grass on the surface was a major talking point in the aftermath of the inaugural floodlit Test, with Australias captain Steven Smith and his New Zealand counterpart Brendon McCullum both reasoning the experimental pink ball would be no worse off for more extensive use of the lawn mower.What would change, though, was the amount of seam movement on offer to the bowlers. Batsmen, administrators, broadcasters and sponsors would all prefer a match that lasts until the fourth evening at least, meaning the seamers who prospered last year will likely be the chief parties disappointed by the curator Damian Houghs latest creation.Preparation-wise still leaving a bit of grass on it, he said. Were bringing the starting height down and the finished height will be down another 2mm from last year.In review of last year, which was a good learning experience, leaving the grass on it assisted the quicks a little bit more. We were really happy with the game but feel a couple millimetres less will hopefully still keep it a good contest between bat and ball - thats what were after.It mightnt nip around quite as much. You still think it will hoop around a bit at night with the ball but we thought maybe well get that balance a bit better.Houghs work with Adelaides drop-in surfaces has evolved considerably since they were first installed for the summer of 2013-14. The surface then was prepared to be dry after the fashion of Adelaides original square, but a lack of thee desired deterioration pushed Hough to take a different approach in which thatchy grass coverage could assist both pacemen and spinners throughout a match.ddddddddddddOur game plan with leaving the grass on is to leave a coarse thatchy grass, the ball will bite into for the quicks it should also do the same for the spinner, Hough said. Weve ben doing that for two years now and the feedback has been the spinners have still been able to get purchase out of that grass and get a bit of turn.The grass we leave on it, were not going to get a lot of breaking up. We havent had that for 3-4 years. Were going down that path, dont get that natural deterioration so well get the grass to assist the ball biting in and moving around a little bit.While Hough has been lauded about his work with drop-in surfaces, he admitted there was still much unknown about them, for wickets can take years of use to mature in their characteristics.Its still new. Is it the drop-in pitch thats preventing the pitch from deteriorating or is it a brand new wicket area and brand new soil that needs time to mature? Who knows, he said. Weve got different pitches that weve remade, or rebuilt some drop-in pitches with a different grass variety that is opening up. Well keep working on it and keep assessing it and adjusting as we see fit.Where were at now, were really comfortable with the feedback from all the visiting players, coaches at Shield level has been really positive. Were trying to produce a pitch with a really good contest from bat and ball. ' ' '
