Here's a rewritten version of the text in a more readable format:
**England vs. Sri Lanka: ODI Cricket**
The match between England and Sri Lanka is underway at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The English team, led by captain Joe Root, has taken to the field with a strong lineup.
**Early Wickets**
Sri Lanka's opening batsman Charith Asalanka dismissed English opener Will Jacks on the second ball of the match, and then followed up with the wicket of Jos Buttler. The Sri Lankan team is off to a flying start.
**Bethell Steals the Show**
Enter James Bethell, the young English batter who has been making waves in the cricket world. He took his place at number three and immediately made an impact, sweeping Hasaranga for four runs. This was followed by two more boundaries in quick succession, setting the tone for the rest of his innings.
**Root Leads the Charge**
Captain Joe Root joined Bethell in the middle and quickly set about stabilizing the innings. He reverse-swept Dhananjaya Fernando for three runs in an over that yielded 10 runs, a testament to his experience and skill. The partnership between Bethell and Root has been impressive so far.
**Middle Order Falls**
The English middle order was expected to provide some stability, but it proved elusive against the Sri Lankan bowlers. Adil Rashid played a crucial role in this regard, but unfortunately for him, he couldn't convert his scoring into actual runs.
**Rashid's Dilemma**
"Flat and low" is not a phrase that resonates with Matt, who finds himself feeling gloomy about the Ashes series. He questions whether there is a young English batter ready to emulate Joe Root's skill.
**England Takes Control**
The match took a turn for the better when Harry Brook came in at number four. The English batsman swept Hasaranga fiercely off for six runs, and later top-edges a sweep well short of the man at deep backward square. Even though he has been struggling, it is clear that Bethell will learn a lot from watching Root bat.
**English Batsmen Get Going**
The English innings slowly began to take shape as the batsmen gained more confidence. Harry Brook's aggressive batting style was on display for all to see. He had been making an impact with his bat, and he continued to do so in this innings.
**Final ODI Overs**
As the match entered its final overs, England found themselves in a strong position. Joe Root played some masterful strokes, while James Bethell played patiently. The English team ended up scoring 290 runs, a total that was more than enough to put pressure on Sri Lanka's batting lineup.
The match is now poised for an exciting finish as the two teams face off in what promises to be an intense and closely contested contest.

, but that young gun James Bethell just took the game by storm 
! His partnership with Root was pure magic 
, and I'm loving how Brook's aggressive batting is bringing some much-needed energy to the team 
. Still a bit concerned about Adil Rashid's form though... 
... Can't we just have a decent discussion about sports without all the extra fluff? Like, can we please just stick to the match report? The commentary on Bethell's performance is getting old 
... He's making some great shots, but let's not get carried away 
. And what's with all these "gloomy" posts from Matt? It's a cricket match, not therapy 
... Just focus on the game, guys! 
️
. But gotta say, I'm a bit worried about the middle order - if they can't get going, it's gonna be a long day 
. And Matt's feeling gloomy about the Ashes series? 
yeah me too, let's hope Harry Brook keeps his form going! 
joe root is soo cool captain joe r th best 
james bethell is like my new fav player! 
he's got skills 4 days!!!

what i love most about english cricket is the team's ability to adapt to different situations on the field, from joe root's calm and collected demeanor to harry brook's aggressive style 
it's going to be so interesting to see how this match unfolds and who comes out on top 
anyway, joe root looks like a great captain and james bethell is literally the new hope for english cricket
