After deciding to bat, Sri Lanka rode on his unbeaten 119 to amass 281-6 in their share of 50 overs.

Fernando capitalised on a good foundation laid by openers Dimuth Karunaratne (56) and Sameera Soyza (31) who put on 61 runs in 11.5 overs. The number four batsman blasted 15 boundaries in his 106-ball knock to raise the third century after local boys Tamim Iqbal and Raqibul Hasan.

Then Sachithra Serasinghe acted with the leather to dismiss the English boys for 221 in 45.1 overs. He captured four wickets for 53.

Captain Varun Chopra top scored with 77 off 106 balls.

The win was Sri Lanka's second in three matches after a 13-run victory against the same opponents while England suffered their third successive defeat.

Bangladesh, the only team so far to win all their games, will meet Sri Lanka today at the BKSP in Savar.
