England Defeat Srilanka By 10 Wickets in 2nd ODI

Alex Hales and Jason Roy both scored centuries as England swept aside Sri Lanka to win the second one-day international by 10 wickets.

Sri Lanka, who posted an inadequate total on a superb batting surface, are still looking for their first victory over England on this tour.

The pair shared an England record ODI partnership as a target of 255 was chased with 95 balls to spare in front of a raucous Edgbaston crowd.

Some excellent fielding and bowling, particularly from Adil Rashid (2-34), had restricted Sri Lanka to 254-7.

After a thrilling tie on Tuesday, England lead the five-match series 1-0.

The home side also take an unassailable 13-3 lead in the inaugural ‘Super Series’, which sees points awarded across all three formats.

Sri Lanka 254-7 (50 overs): Tharanga 53*, Rashid 2-34

England 255-0 (34.1 overs): Hales 133*, Roy 112
