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

Batter hits first international century in one-sided winWill Jacks takes last wicket and named player of seriesA 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 centred around the Test team, in fairness, with Harry Brook’s white-ball sides on something of an upward trajectory in 2026.
