The 2019 Cricket World Cup is fully up and running and we've already had a first big shock involving England.
The hosts England come into the tournament as the number-one ranked ODI side in the world but were beaten by 14 runs on Monday as Pakistan ended an 11-match losing stream in completed ODIs.
On Tuesday, Sri Lanka emerged from the ruins of a spectacular batting collapse to kick-start their World Cup campaign by beating Afghanistan in Cardiff.
Their 34-run victory looked improbable on a rain-affected day when they lost eight wickets for 57 runs in subsiding from 144 for one to 201 all out.
A delay of more than two hours meant that Afghanistan chased a revised target of 187 off 41 overs, but it proved beyond them as they suffered a second successive defeat in falling to 152 all out.
Today South Africa face India in Southampton before Bangladesh and New Zealand do battle at the Oval.
