An inspired spell of pace bowling by James Anderson helped England dismiss Sri Lanka for just 121, sealing a convincing 110-run win in a rain-affected first match of the one-day series at The Oval on Tuesday.
Set a tough revised target of 232 off 32 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis method, Sri Lanka wilted to 15-4 by the fifth over, with Anderson taking 3-7 in his first three overs to remove Tillakaratne Dilshan (1), Kumar Sangakkara (4) and Mahela Jayawardene (5) -- the team’s three key batsmen.
