England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow will miss the final two limited-overs encounters against Sri Lanka after he suffered an ankle ligament injury while playing football prior to the fourth ODI.

He did not play the 4th ODI either, which England won by 18 runs via the DLS method.

"Jonny Bairstow has been ruled out of the fifth ODI and the one-off IT20 against Sri Lanka after scans revealed he has a right ankle ligament injury," the ECB said in a widely reported statement.

"He will be monitored and assessed on a daily basis by the England medical team in Sri Lanka and a further update will be given in due course on his fitness ahead of the three-match Test series starting next month."
