Kevin Pietersen, Headingley, 2012: "It's tough. Being me, in this dressing room, playing for England is tough." Kevin Pietersen, Headingley, 2026: "Being back in an England dressing room is amazing. It really is amazing." On KP's return @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/pietersen…

Kevin Pietersen says he has spoken to Stephen Fleming about the prospect of working with England's Test batters ahead of next year's Ashes - though a formal role is unlikely because of his "pretty mad" schedule Full story @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/pietersen…

A tale of two hamstrings at Headingley: Jos Buttler's "twinge" cost England as Kusal Mendis, recently back from his own strain, led Sri Lanka to an impressive victory which sets up a decider on Sunday @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/england-h…

Sri Lanka brilliant at the death at Headingley: England needed 71 off the last 80 balls but managed only 54, with one four and one six, against the reversing old ball. Sets up a series decider at The Oval on Sunday

Joe Root in ODIs this year: vs S Colombage - 7 for 2 off 10 balls vs all other bowlers - 548 for 2 off 604 balls

One of the great ODI none-fors from Jamie Overton: two drops off his bowling, an overturned caught-behind with Mendis on 99, and three excellent death overs to finish with 0 for 63 from 10

On his sixth trip here, Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis has his first century in England, after successfully overturning a caught-behind decision on 99 Outstanding 82-ball hundred from No. 3 in the second ODI at Headingley, having missed last week's T20 series with a hamstring injury

Great opportunity for whatever fringe show he was watching at the time though, they can put 'literally side-splitting' on next year's poster

Will Jacks is England's white-ball vice-captain this month and was their match-winner at the Riverside last night But he feared his season was over last month when he was rushed to hospital with appendicitis on a family trip to Edinburgh @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-sl…

England impressive against Sri Lanka at the Riverside last night: their lowest successful defence in four years, their fifth win in seven ODIs this year, and their 10th win in 11 white-ball internationals this summer. Report @cricinfo cricinfo.com/series/sri-lank…

England have failed to hit a six while batting first in an ODI for the first time since they were bowled out for 113 by West Indies in March 2019

For the first time in his last five ODI innings (111*, 76*, 99*, 74*, 44), Joe Root has been dismissed. Beauty from Sri Lanka debutant Sachindu Colombage

Mark Wood has retired from international cricket aged 36 after being "ground down" by a long battle with injuries, particularly over the last 18 months He'll be remembered as perhaps England's fastest-ever bowler, an Ashes, 50-over and T20 World Cup winner, and a fan favourite

Tom Banton first announced himself as a future England player in the 2019 Royal London Cup - but since then has played seven 50-over games He could yet thrive as an ODI opener but will have to re-learn the format at international level @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/tom-banto…

Lancashire have announced that both Mark Chilton (director of cricket performance) and David Thorley (director of women's cricket) are leaving the club Changes are part of "a restructuring of the performance set-up" following poor men's and women's seasons
