Revitalized England chased down a paltry target of 68 in just 12.1 overs to ease to a 10-wicket win over Sri Lanka at Old Trafford on Wednesday, moving 2-1 ahead in the five-match series.
Bouncing back impressively from its embarrassing 157-run loss in the second ODI, England skittled out the tourists for 67 in 24 overs as paceman Chris Jordan took 5-29 under threatening skies. It was Sri Lanka’s third-lowest total in ODIs.
Fit-again captain Alastair Cook (30 not out) and Ian Bell (41 not out) took just 52 minutes to wrap up the victory on 73-0, with Bell hitting a six down the ground for the match-clinching runs.
