Onions strikes early

Graham Onions strikes the first blow for England as he finds the edge of Sri Lanka opener Sanath Jayasuriya

The perfect out-swinger from Onions saw Jayasuriya edging the ball and was snapped up by England wicketkeeper Matt Prior.

Eoin Morgan's unbeaten half-century helped England get off to a winning start in the ICC Champions Trophy after an emphatic six-wicket victory against Sri Lanka in the Group B match at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, on Friday.

Morgan carried England home with his unbeaten knock of 62 from 83 deliveries, inclusive of seven boundaries, as England recovered after a couple of early wickets to coast to 213 for four in 45 overs.
