sri lanka vs england live stream cricket test match

Sri Lanka vs England Test series - when and where

The three Test series in Sri Lanka is underway, seeing the England cricket team trying to pick up a head of steam in to Ashes year. Each match starts at 10.30am local time - so 4.30am GMT - and the dates of the matches are as follows:

3rd Test: November 23-27 at Colombo

Sri Lanka hasn't always been a happy hunting ground for England, but they'll be buoyed by their convincing win in October's ODI series and a regulation victory in the first two Tests - an impressive whitewash is on the cards. The team has been impressive throughout the first two games, with the spin trio of Moeen Ali, Jack Leach and Adil Rashid taking most of the plaudits - and wickets!

For Sri Lanka, it's now about restoring some pride. They just haven't done their undoubted talent justice so far. Captain Dinesh Chandimal  and star man Angelo Mathews will surely be integral to any success the hosts may have in the third and final Test.

It's all poised to be a fascinating crescendo to the cricket Test series. So make sure you follow the instructions below to live stream the matches between Sri Lanka and England, wherever you are in the world.
