England beat Sri Lanka by 223 runs at The Oval to win their ODI series, with Tom Banton scoring his maiden international century. The 27-year-old opener made a striking comeback after years away from England’s 50-over side, helping the team finish the summer with a fifth consecutive series victory across formats.

Banton hit 126 from 105 balls, sharing a 150-run partnership with captain Harry Brook, who scored 77, while Jordan Cox added 76 as England posted 355-7. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 132 in 29.1 overs, with Liam Dawson taking 3-26; the result was England’s biggest ODI win against Sri Lanka, although Banton’s place in the side may be uncertain when the team travels to Pakistan in October.
