England defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets in the rain-affected third one-day international in Hambantota on Wednesday to record their first win in the seven-match series. The tourists, chasing a revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 236 in 35 overs, cruised home with eight balls to spare. Sri Lanka had made 242-8 after electing to bat in a game that had to be reduced to 35 overs-a-side when heavy rain interrupted play after just two overs. Brief scores: Sri Lanka 242-8 in 35 overs; England 236-5 in 33.4 overs (D/L target).
