    SOUNDBITE (English) Marvan Atapattu, Sri Lanka coach: (On if Sri Lanka gets confidence from having defeated England home and away in the last year)

    "It does. We would like to reflect back to what we have done in the past in the last 12 months. Having said that it's a brand new game, a brand new tournament, it's a different tournament, a different pressure and we all understand that.
    "It is a concern, no doubt, especially the catching, and obviously when we started off with two test matches, I think a catch here at the Basin Reserve cost us a test match. Having said that, we have had good times, brilliant times, and we have had times that we weren't very happy about.
    "Any one of their top seven batsmen. They have a fantastic seaming bowling lineup there. It could be anyone. As I said, the format is such that we've got to guard against being complacent. We've just got to play the best cricket that we can on the day."
