Sri Lanka’s Unbeaten Home ODI Run Faces Test as England, Root Set Up Series Decider

By AFP News January 27, 2026 • 08:53 AM View: 497

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.
