England demolish Sri Lanka in ODI series decider as Banton bashes maiden ton

England demolish Sri Lanka in ODI series decider as Banton bashes maiden ton

Batter hits first international century in one-sided win Will Jacks takes last wicket and named player of series A dysfunctional summer ended on a brighter note for England as Tom Banton’s eye-catching maiden international century and some masterful finishing from Jordan Cox propelled them to a one-sided victory against Sri Lanka in this one-day international decider. The neurosis had chiefly centered around the Test team, in fairness, with Harry Brook’s white-ball sides on something of an upward trajectory in 2026. Hence Brendon McCullum was relieved of only half of his duties as head coach in July. Continue reading...

Jos Buttler injury and Kusal Mendis century derail England as Sri Lanka level ODI series

Jos Buttler injury and Kusal Mendis century derail England as Sri Lanka level ODI series

Wicketkeeper sustains hamstring injury while taking run Series set for decider at the Oval on Sunday A beautiful batting surface and a greased lightning outfield made this second one-day international wildly different to the first 48 hours earlier. Unfortunately for England, on the wrong end of a thriller, the result was wildly different too. Set 322 to win, and boosted by a rapid-fire 143-run opening stand from Ben Duckett and Tom Banton, England had appeared on course to wrap up the series with a match to spare. But Sri Lanka refused to give up, delivering a famous shutout and profiting from an injury to Jos Buttler to win by 16 runs. Continue reading...

Tom Banton’s six-hitting wins T20 for England after Dawson derails Sri Lanka

Tom Banton’s six-hitting wins T20 for England after Dawson derails Sri Lanka

Banton and Brook lead England home in style Big hitting leaves Sri Lanka looking out of their depth England extended their extraordinary hex over Sri Lanka to a 14th game, with the tourists looking as out of their depth as the balls that were repeatedly deposited into the River Taff as their opponents cantered to their target of 146 to win by six wickets, with 47 balls remaining. More than a dozen years have passed since Sri Lanka, crowned world champions in the format a month earlier, beat England by nine runs at the Oval. They have lost every meeting since and with this one also the series, and while much about this game contrasted with Tuesday’s first encounter in Southampton – starting with England winning the toss and choosing to chase – the outcome did not: another emphatic home win, sealed in the end in slapdash style: no-ball, wide, single, wide, single, muted celebration.
