Captain’s century and Sophie Ecclestone’s spell seal win
A patient hundred from the captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, saved England from embarrassment against Sri Lanka in Colombo, enabling them to recover from 168 for six and win by 89 runs.
Sciver-Brunt was dropped on three by Udeshika Prabodhani at midwicket and went on to score a run-a-ball 117, before finally being caught at long-on off the penultimate ball of the innings. Tammy Beaumont’s 32 was the next highest contribution.
