First Metro Bank one-day international, Chester-le-Street

England 265 (48.1 overs): Brook 67 (69); Colombage 3-44

Sri Lanka 176 (37 overs): Wellalage 45 (36); Jacks 5-22

Will Jacks' all-round efforts helped England grind out an 89-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first one-day international at Chester-le-Street to continue their quiet revival in white-ball cricket.

Faced with a slow and low pitch, Jacks made 46 not out after 67 from Harry Brook and 44 from Joe Root, meaning England posted 265 despite being bowled out in 48.1 overs.

That score appeared only par but a professional bowling performance limited Sri Lanka's scoring and found regular wickets.
