England captain Eoin Morgan wants his side to keep its concentration when it continues its One-Day International series against Sri Lanka at The Oval Wednesday. Morgan's men are 1-0 up with two to play in the five-match campaign after rain just four overs into its innings stopped it building on a good bowling display in the third ODI at Bristol Sunday. England and Sri Lanka played out a thrilling tie in last week's first ODI at Trent Bridge before the host stormed to a 10-wicket win in the second match of the series at Edgbaston. It all leaves England with work still to do if it is to win the series, following its 2-0 victory in the preceding three-Test campaign against Sri Lanka, and it could face further frustration at The Oval if rain forecast for south London duly arrives at Surrey's headquarters ground. "It's certainly going to be one of the challenges over the next couple of games we play," said Morgan at The Oval Tuesday. "With a lot of weather around, that is always a huge challenge that it doesn't become a distraction — and to switch on when we need to. "We want to play as much cricket as we can, and I suppose (the weather) has halted a little bit of the momentum we've had," the former Ireland batsman added. "Tomorrow is about regaining that a little bit." Many of Morgan's teammates were watching on television as England's football team suffered a humiliating exit from Euro 2016 following a 2-1 defeat by minnow Iceland in Nice Monday. While attention now turns to a replacement for Roy Hodgson, who resigned as England manager Monday, Morgan's team has shown that improvement can happen after exiting a major tournament. England's cricketers suffered an embarrassing group-stage exit at last year's World Cup following a defeat by makeweight Bangladesh in Adelaide. But with Australian Trevor Bayliss replacing Peter Moores as coach, a new-look England side adopting an aggressive approach has enjoyed some notable successes in limited overs cricket, including reaching the final of this year's World Twenty20. "The learning experience we've had over the last 12 months, with the new group of players, has been so significant that there is almost a completely different team," said Morgan. "I suppose for us, it was going with a new method and a new group of players." Bangladesh announces England tour dates England will play three One-Day Internationals and two Test matches against Bangladesh in its month-long tour in October, the Bangladesh Cricket Board announced Tuesday. England, which arrives on Sept. 30, will start its tour with a one-day warm-up match at Fatullah on Oct. 4. It will play the first two One-Day Internationals at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, on Oct. 7 and 9 respectively. The third and final ODI will be held in the southeastern city of Chittagong on Oct. 12. Chittagong will also host the first Test from Oct. 20-24, while the second Test will be held in Dhaka from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1. This will be the first Test series in Bangladesh for nearly 14 months. The host last played a Test match in July 2015, against South Africa. The England cricket team last visited Bangladesh for a fully-fledged bilateral series in March 2010.
