On Tuesday 28th June the cricket captains from each year were rewarded for their hard work with a trip to The Kia Oval to watch the first One Day International with Sri Lanka. Having got the train and a couple of tubes to get to South London we were met with heavy rain, thunder and lightning but as the cloud dispersed a reduced overs match of great quality followed with England comfortably winning.
The BBC summarised the game as follows Alastair Cook's first home match as England one-day captain began with a 110-run win (D/L method) over Sri Lanka at The Oval in the first of five ODIs.
After a three-hour rain delay reduced the game to 32 overs-a-side, Craig Kieswetter (61) and Eoin Morgan (45) led the charge in England's 229-8.
James Anderson (4-18) then tore into Sri Lanka's top order, reducing them to 15-4, and he also took two catches.
Graeme Swann (3-18) cleaned up the tail as Sri Lanka were all out for 110.
