Niroshan Dickwella (95), Dinesh Chandimal (80), Kusal Mendis (56) and Sadeera Samarawickrama (54) each posted half-centuries for the hosts as they racked up 366-6, their best ODI total against England.

England then crumbled in their reply, slipping to 4-3 inside two overs with Jos Buttler - deputising as captain for the rested Eoin Morgan - and Alex Hales dismissed for ducks and Jason Roy out for four.

Ben Stokes battled what appeared to be severe cramp to make 67 but the tourists were 132-9 after 26.1 overs before the game was ruined by rain - Akila Dananjaya taking 4-19 and Dushmantha Chameera 3-20.

The series ended 3-1 to England, with attention now turning to Saturday's T20I in Colombo and then the three-Test series which gets underway in Galle on November 6, with all games live on Sky Sports Cricket.
