England vs Sri Lanka, 5th ODI at Cardiff, , Jul 02 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

6.34pm So, England head to the podium to get their champagne on, and continue to enjoy their new-found success. That's it from Cardiff, thanks for joining us today, from Deivarayan Muthu and Andrew Miller, goodbye.

6.16pm So, presentation time, and Jos Buttler is man of the match for his 70 from 45 balls. "I've had a little bit of success, so nice to contribute in a fantastic performance and a fitting end to the series for us," he says. "Great innings from Joe, we always wanted to get to 300 and knew if we batted our 50 overs we'd get more than that."

The Man of the Series, unsurprisingly, goes to Jason Roy for his two matchwinning hundreds. "I've been getting 40s and 30s and getting out, so nice to push on. I've put in a lot of hard work, a lot of respect for the coaching staff." And a word for his stand-in partner, James Vince: "He's class".

Do you see yourself as a Test player too? "That's the dream, but it's a gradual climb."

Sri Lanka's captain, Angelo Mathew has this to say: "We've been having the same problems, we need a perfect game to beat the English boys, they outplayed us.

"It was not a 325 wicket, but unfortunately for us the batting didn't click either. Our running was very poor in the past five games, we need to work as a team and day-by-day try to improve."

That tie in the first game. "England did well to tie it up and got momentum from there. Lots of positives, we are a young group. The seniors have a major role to play but the youngsters have to take up the challenge."

Eoin Morgan: "We adapted to conditions a lot better. If I'd have known I'd have gone in with two spinners, but our seamers held their lengths pretty well. A couple of things please me, the belief in the changing room has been outstanding, Jason Roy's individual performances, everyone has contributed with the bat except for myself, which is disappointing, but it'll come..."

6.10pm England won by 122 runs, the margin highlights the gulf between the two teams. Morgan and Roy lead England off the field. They move to fifth on the ODI table. After Root and Buttler charged the hosts to 324, England's seamers made early inroads. They bowled disciplined lines and lengths before Rashid pitched in with a couple wickets.

Chandi made his fourth successive half-century, but the other batsmen failed to rally around him. The visitors were ultimately bowled out for 202 in 42.4 overs. Do stick with us for the presentation.
