SL 286 for 9

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews top-scored with 73 as his side were held to 286 for nine by England in the first one-day international in Nottingham on Tuesday.

But Sri Lanka's final total represented something of a recovery after they slumped to 197 for six.

England, however, would have been happy with a target of 287 on a Trent Bridge ground where last year they made 350 for six against New Zealand -- their highest winning total batting second in a one-day international.

Only Mathews and Seekkugge Prasanna, with a quickfire 59, made much headway for Sri Lanka in the first of this five-match series after England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss in this day/night clash.

Pace bowlers Chris Woakes and David Willey both took two for 56 in their maximum 10 overs.

Sri Lanka were 56 for three inside nine overs and their run-rate slowed, with leg-spinner Adil Rashid (none for 36 in 10 overs) proving tough to get away.

It took Mathews 34 balls to score his first boundary -- a reverse-swept four off spinner Moeen Ali.

But a becalmed Dinesh Chandimal (37) holed out off Ali to Woakes at backward square.
