days, acquiring Jrue Holiday from Philadelphia and trading the rights to rookie
Nerlens Noel. The deal was agreed to on draft night, when the Pelicans drafted
Noel with the No. 6 overall pick. They sent his rights to the 76ers along with a
2014 first-round pick for Holiday, who made his first All-Star team last season.
Pelicans general manager Dell Demps says Friday in a statement that Holiday "is
the ideal fit for our team" and "will be an integral addition to the Pelicans
family for many years to come." Holiday will join Tyreke Evans, who was acquired
from Sacramento on Thursday, among New Orleans newcomers. The Pelicans also
received the rights to No. 42 pick Pierre Jackson from Philadelphia. Noel was
considered the potential No. 1 pick despite tearing his ACL during his lone
season at Kentucky.

(0930GMT)Big PictureAt the midway mark at The Oval on Wednesday evening, it
appeared Sri Lanka had done enough to at least stretch England by putting more
than 300 on the board in a match reduced to 42 overs per side. Yet it became
another canter as Jason Roy plundered 162 to add another notch to the teams
storied 12 months in white-ball cricket.It means that the series is decided
heading into Cardiff, creating one of those dead bilateral matches that is
vexing those in charge of the international cricket as they attempt to remodel
the calendar to bring greater context to the game. However, it is not a match
completely without meaning - there are rankings positions to play for and
victory for England would ensure they move to fifth in the one-day table,
another step on the climb towards the top three that Paul Farbrace, the
assistant coach, believes they have to be at to be serious contenders for the
2019 World Cup.There is also the not-so-small matter of putting on a show for
the Cardiff crowd. Attendances throughout this series have been excellent - only
the poor forecast prevented every seat being filled at The Oval - which suggests
that the angst felt about the 50-over game is perhaps more in the minds of those
in charge than the paying punter who wants to enjoy a day out.England are
certainly value for money these days, when the weather allows them on the park.
No target appears to daunt them with a batting line-up that includes Adil Rashid
at No. 11. After a 10-wicket win chasing 255 and then The Oval pursuit, the talk
is of how high this batting line-up can reach. After four matches where they
have batted second, it would be interesting - and potentially thrilling - to see
them set a target.Sri Lanka have tired minds and sore bodies after a tour where,
apart from small passages of play, there has been clear daylight between them
and England. The batting has shown promise, but the paucity of the bowling means
they needed more than the raft of half-centuries that have been produced. They
will have to dig deep to prevent a 3-0 scoreline.Form guideEngland WWTLL
(completed matches, most recent first) Sri Lanka LLTWWIn the spotlightThe most
out-of-form England batsman? Its the captain, Eoin Morgan. All things are
relative - he has scored 43 and 22 in his two innings of the series - and he
fell to a spectacular catch at The Oval - but it is now 20 international innings
since he has made a half-century. He has plenty of credit in the bank, as
Alastair Cook did when he struggled in the Test side, but as the current climate
in the UK shows banks can still run into trouble. Morgan appears to have shelved
his first-class ambitions, so the limited-overs game is his domain and no
captain wants discussion about his own form to become a dominating
issue.Danushka Gunathilaka enjoyed his best match of the series at The Oval,
scoring a composed 62 off 64 balls, nipping in with the wicket of Joe Root then
holding that catch for tthe ages at backward point when Morgan larruped his
square cut.dddddddddddd. Sri Lanka want to give youth a chance at the top of the
order - it is one of the reasons they have resisted promoting Upul Tharanga -
and it has become the sort of tour where small successes such as Gunathilakas
are what they need to grab hold of.Team newsAlex Hales did not open the batting
at The Oval after suffering a back spasm in the field, but batted freely in the
nets on Friday. England dont appear in the mood to rotate for the sake of it so
the only decision to make seems to be whether to swap Chris Jordan for Moeen Ali
on a ground with a short, straight boundary as happened in Bristol.England

changes following the loss of the series. A few of the squad are being held
together by sticking plaster and painkillers so they could go through their
reserve players, although the Sri Lanka camp said everyone was fit and available
for selection. Niroshan Dickwella, who replaced Lahiru Thirimanne, and
Dhananjaya de Silva have yet to play this series.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Kusal

Cup scores this season have ranged from 218 to 302. There is a short straight
boundary towards the River Taff which will tempt the powerful hitters in both
teams. The spinners will need to hold their nerve. The forecast is promising
with just the outside chance of a shower.Stats and triviaEnglands scoring rate
in ODIs since May 1, 2015 is 6.33 - the highest among all teams.Kusal Perera
needs three runs to reach 1500 in ODIsJason Roy has 282 runs in the series. The
record for England in a series of up to five matches is 383 by Alex Hales,
against South Africa, earlier this year. No England batsman has scored more then
two centuries in a series of up to five matches - Kevin Pietersens record of
three came in a seven-match series against South Africa in 2005.QuotesIf we want
to be the best in the world were going to have to win more consistently and days
like tomorrow are going to become more important. Building up winning streaks is
what its all about so tomorrows game is as important as any in this series. Joe
Root doesnt want any slackening off by EnglandIts been a tough tour, losing the
Test series as well as the one-dayers but we just have to go again. Its up to us
to showcase our talent and willingness to win. The boys are up for it and
hopefully we can give it a good show. Farveez Maharoof tells his team-mates to
