Dinesh Chandimal's unbeaten 105 saw Sri Lanka to a six-wicket one-day international victory against England at Lord's here on Sunday as the tourists took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Sri Lanka, chasing 247 for victory, ended on 249 for four. Chadimal secured the win, with 10 balls to spare.
England's total of 246 for seven, which featured skipper Alastair Cook's career-best 119, never looked enough. Their score was put into perspective by a Sri Lankan second-wicket stand of 112 between Chandimal and expert opener Mahela Jayawardene, who made 79.
Scores: England 246/7 (A Cook 119, J Mendis 2-40); Sri Lanka: 249/4 (Chandimal 105, Jayawardene 79). Sri Lanka won by 6 wickets
