A man of the match knock of 72 (87 balls) from Jonathan Trott and Tim Bresnan's 3-49 helped England to a 16-run win over Sri Lanka in the final one-dayer giving the hosts a 3-2 series win.
The Lankans were 131-5 but a century sixth-wicket partnership between Angelo Mathews (62) and Jeevan Mendis (48) rescued Sri Lanka and almost upset England.
Earlier, England collapsed to 268-9 after Eoin Morgan (57) combined with Trott whilst Suraj Randiv took 5 for 42.
