Either batting, bowling or fielding has let us down," Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews said. David Willey took four wickets and Liam Plunkett three as England bowled out Sri Lanka for 202 to win the one-day series 3-0. Joe Root returned to form with a fluent 93 to lead England to a crushing 122-run victory over Sri Lanka in the fifth and final one-day international in Cardiff on Saturday. Root, short of runs in the test series which England won 2-0, shared a 109-run fifth-wicket stand with Jos Buttler to lift the hosts to 324 for seven from their 50 overs. Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals, only a defiant 48 from Dhanushka Gunathilaka and 53 by Dinesh Chandimal holding up England, who dismissed the tourists in the 43rd over.
