England enter their third Test series of the year with Sri Lanka jetting into the UK for a trio of matches across some of the finest grounds in the land.

Captain Ben Stokes will be keen to take momentum from his team’s 3-0 series victory over West Indies this summer before heading overseas to Pakistan later in the year.

Of course, England will have to do it without Jimmy Anderson, following his retirement from the international scene earlier this summer.

Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and spinner Shoaib Bashir each stepped up to the plate in Anderson’s wake against the West Indies and each will be determined to continue their form into the autumn.

Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ollie Pope dazzled with the bat and may be forced to dial up their game in the absence of opener Zak Crawley, who misses the Sri Lanka series with a broken finger.
