Openers Alex Hales and Jason Roy put on an unbeaten and record-breaking 256-run partnership to take England to a thumping 10-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second one-day international on Friday.
Both made centuries, with Hales 133 not out and Roy 112 not out as England stormed past Sri Lanka's 254-7 in 34.1 overs at Edgbaston.
The convincing win took England into a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after the first game was tied.
Finishing on 0-256, Hales and Roy put together the highest partnership for England in ODIs and the fifth highest opening stand by any team in a 50-over international.
England had earlier bowled well and was slick in the field to restrict Sri Lanka to a mediocre total on a very good batting pitch.
