We have five matches in the books in this ODI series of seven. Sri Lanka had jumped out to a 3-1 series lead entering the previous match, but England held firm and ended up winning by 5 wickets.
Still, the odds remain heavily on the Sir Lankans side, as they'll only need to win one of these next two matches in order to secure the series. They also have the home field advantage that comes with being the series' host nation. The 6th match will go down in Pallekele's International Cricket Stadium, one of the newest and most state-of-the-art cricket venues in the world.
Keep an eye on Joe Root in this match. He has already scored three ODI hundreds in 2014, and he'll no doubt be gunning for a shot to tie England's record of four (accomplished by David Gower).
The 6th ODI match between Sri Lanka and England kicks off at 18:40 GMT. A live feed of the match is available for streaming RIGHT HERE.
