Watch a pick of the action from the fifth ODI between England and Sri Lanka in Cardiff

Yorkshire's Joe Root, David Willey, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid and Lancashire's Jos Buttler played key roles as England thumped Sri Lanka in Cardiff to record a 3-0 ODI series win.

Root (93 off 106) top scored for England in the hosts' total of 324-7, with Buttler (70 off 45 balls) adding the impetus during a 109-run stand with Root for the fifth wicket.

Pacemen Willey (4-34) and Plunkett (3-44) and leg-spinner Rashid (2-41) did the damage with the ball as Eoin Morgan's men dismissed the visitors for 202 to win by 122 runs.

Sri Lanka batsman Dinesh Chandimal (53) compiled his fourth fifty in a row - and 19th in the ODI format - but Sri Lanka lasted just 42.4 overs at The SSE SWALEC Stadium.

England's huge win ensured they won the ODI series to nil, a feat they also achieved by taking the Test series two-zip, ahead of Tuesday's one-off Twenty20 international at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
