SL vs ENG, 5th ODI : Sri Lanka beat England by 107 runs

Dilhara Fernando claimed a career-best six for 27 to propel Sri Lanka to a 107-run win over England in the fifth and final one-day international.
However England won the overall series 3-2. Fernando, coming into the attack as first change, produced an inspired spell to bowl out England for a paltry 104 in 29.1 overs.
England were chasing a modest target after their bowlers had bundled out Sri Lanka for 211 in 48.1 overs. Middle-order batsman Chamara Silva top-scored for the hosts with a fine 73 from 109 balls that included nine boundaries. Sri Lanka were unable to defend an identical target on Wednesday, but England's batsman struggled on Saturday against Fernando, who mixed aggression with clever variations in pace.
However, it was left-armer Chaminda Vaas (2-36) who broke through first as Phil Mustard (one) was acrobatically caught by wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara. Fernando, introduced into the attack after a three-over burst from Lasith Malinga, struck early when Ian Bell (11) was deceived by his slower ball and caught at mid-on.
Earlier, Sri Lanka's batsmen showed more positive intent after three consecutive defeats, starting the innings with a 45-run opening partnership between Sanath Jayasuriya (26) and debutante Dilruwan Perera (30). But England's bowlers, as they have done throughout the series, maintained their discipline and chipped away with regular wickets.
Left-armer Ryan Sidebottom, a frontrunner for the man of the series award, was England's best bowler, claiming 2-41 from his 10 overs.
