Brook and Root lead England to Series win
The Sentinel
|January 28, 2026
HARRY Brook smashed a blistering 136 and Joe Root made another flawless century as England beat Sri Lanka by 53 runs to clinch a much-needed ODI series victory.

The Yorkshiremen combined for an extraordinary 191-run partnership in Colombo to lift England to a mammoth 357 for three, the highest total on this ground since October 2018.
Root steered the innings with an unbeaten 111, laying the platform for skipper Brook to issue a stunning reminder of his firepower as he blasted Sri Lanka to all parts of the ground in an ODI-best 136 not out from just 66 balls.
On a ground where scores above 300 are rare, it was a total always likely to be beyond the hosts and so it proved despite a wonderful maiden international century from Pavan Rathnayake.
