Sri Lanka levels ODI series with victory over England after Buttler injury at Headingley
Sri Lanka defeated England by 16 runs in the second one-day international at Headingley, leveling the series and setting up a deciding match at The Oval. England was chasing a target of 322, but their progress was halted when Jos Buttler retired hurt with a hamstring injury on 67 runs. Despite briefly returning to the crease, Buttler could not continue effectively, and England finished 306-9. Sri Lanka's captain Kusal Mendis scored a commanding 121, while England's earlier strong start was undone by key wickets falling, particularly to left-arm spinner Dinuth Wellalage. The series will conclude with the final match on Sunday at 10:30 BST.
