A patient 72 from Jonathan Trott helped England to a 16-run win over Sri Lanka in the final ODI at Old Trafford Saturday, giving the host a 3-2 series win which allowed it to gain some revenge for its 10-wicket World Cup quarterfinal humiliation. A century sixth-wicket partnership between Angelo Mathews (62) and Jeevan Mendis (48), which rescued Sri Lanka from 131-5, threatened to upset England but some assured catches at the end and fine bowling put paid to the tourists' chances. Jonathan Trott was named as the Man of the Match and Alastair Cook as the Man of the Series.
