Sri Lanka's five-year unbeaten home series ODI run faces its stiffest test on Tuesday, with England levelling the series 1-1 and Joe Root again the key obstacle.

Root has been England’s sheet anchor, posting half-centuries in both matches, with his back-to-the-wall 75 in Saturday's second ODI laying the foundation for a five-wicket victory.
