Rain frustrates England in 3rd Sri Lanka cricket ODI

Heavy rain prevented England completing a likely whitewash of its one-day international series against Sri Lanka, according to The Associated Press.

The third and final ODI was abandoned in the afternoon with no result before England could reply to Sri Lanka’s uncompetitive 166 all out in 41.1 overs.

Surrey seamer Tom Curran claimed 4-35.

England had already clinched the series 2-0 with comfortable wins in the first two ODI games by five and eight wickets, respectively.

Dasun Shanaka hit an unbeaten 48 off 65 balls as Sri Lanka recovered from 87-6 in the 21st over after England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and chose to field at the County Ground in Bristol, southwestern England.

England beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in their Twenty20 series.
