Cricket: Sri Lanka Level Series Behind Jayawardene Ton

Mahela Jayawardene scored a flawless 144 as Sri Lanka levelled the ODI series at 1-1 with a 69-run victory over England at Headingley.

The tourists posted 309-5 and also got contributions from Kumar Sangakkara (69) and Angelo Mathews (46*). England were bowled out for 240 in reply, with seven players reaching double figures but only Eoin Morgan (52) scoring a half century.

The Sri Lankan bowlers performed solidly but this win was all about the class of Jayawardene, who surpassed his previous best ODI score of 128 during this match-winning knock.
