ENG vs SL Team Previews
England
England have been in strong form in Test cricket at home. They have won all five of their previous Tests overall and put up a convincing display in the second Test.
Gus Atkinson would have had arguably his most memorable Test match to date at Lord's. He hit his first ton in first-class cricket while also backing that up with a five-fer in the second innings.
Joe Root has pretty much broken every English Test record that he would want to break. He hit twin tons at Lord's with innings of 143 in the first innings and 103 in the second innings.
Ben Duckett has epitomised 'Bazball' with his attacking approach against the new ball. He has put some of the world's best bowlers under extreme pressure in a Test career which has 1735 runs, three centuries and nine half-centuries to show for it.

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka came into this Test series with positive form behind them, having won their previous Test series against Bangladesh. They have been outplayed in both games against England.
The experienced Dimuth Karunaratne is a class above most of his Sri Lankan Test teammates with the bat. He has accumulated 6990 Test runs while also adding 16 centuries and 38 half-centuries to the list.
Lahiru Kumara boasts one of the better Test bowling records among the current crop of Sri Lankan Test bowlers. The right-arm fast bowler has claimed 90 Test wickets in his career. Those include seven four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul.
Kamindu Mendis has shown his promise in both of the opening two Tests in the series. He hit his third Test century in the first Test with 113 in the second innings. He backed that up with an innings of 74 at Lord's.

ENG vs SL Toss Prediction
This match is scheduled to take place at Kennington Oval, London as a five-day game.
The previous toss in a Test match at Kennington Oval was won by Australia who elected to bowl first.
Rain showers are scheduled for the course of a few days, including the opening day, of the scheduled five days. Both captains could look at the sky to determine that bowling first may be the better option.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
A large majority of this Test match may be affected by the rain showers. Days one, three and four have a 47, 57 and 45 percent chance of rain respectively. Days two and five have a 21 and 23 percent chance of rain. All five days are predicted to be moderately warm and very humid.
England managed a first innings score of 427 all out in the second Test. Even a first innings score over 300 could put the team batting first on the front foot.
The first session before lunch on day one could be crucial with showers likely to aid seam bowling in the morning. Day two could be the best day for batting with the lowest chance of rain of all the days.
ENG vs SL Betting Tips
England have made full use of home advantage and a thorough understanding of playing Test cricket in their own conditions.
Sri Lanka have only shown glimpses of competing with a powerful English unit, but have ultimately come up short twice.
You wouldn't bet against England wiping the floor with Sri Lanka and winning the Test series by a clean sweep.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Ollie Pope's side may want to utilise the overhead conditions by winning the toss and bowling first. Pope has a 50 percent chance of winning the coin toss.
The left-handed opening batter has made his position in the lineup almost untouchable. The aggressive batter has hit 614 Test runs in his last ten Test matches.
The English fast bowler has been a wicket-taking machine for the hosts. In the two most recent Test series against the West Indies and Sri Lanka, he has taken 33 Test wickets in five matches. Those wickets also include three five-fers and one four-fer.
The Sri Lankan opening batter has been one of the few positives with the bat in the second Test. He hit a calm and composed 55 runs in the second innings.
The man from Kandy was one of the few genuine threats to the English bowlers at Lord's. The quick bowler took two wickets in the first innings and went one better in the second innings.
