England captain Harry Brook, speaking at the presentation: "I was working on a few things with Rooty [Joe Root] in the nets and thankfully it paid off today. I felt good and glad that me, Rooty and Beth [Jacob Bethell] could get us to that total."

On the effort to win the series from 1-0 down: "It was awesome. Awesome effort from everybody involved. Rooty's just exceptional, to have him in the side helps every day. I thought that was an exceptional performance by the lads.

"It was a lot better pitch than we were expecting. It still had a part to play and just glad that we got a good score and we managed to defend it.

"I was very happy with the way the spinners bowled. They were working in tandem really well, communication was outstanding and the way the lads batted and tried to put the pressure back on the bowlers even in tough conditions was awesome from the boys going into the T20s."

On how good this pitch was compared to the last game: "That was a decent wicket. It was good fun to bat on today. It was better than we thought."

Player of the series England batter Joe Root, speaking at the presentation: "I think more than anything you want to win games and contribute to winning games. My role in this team is pretty obvious. It's nice to help the youngsters guys come through now I'm getting a bit older. That role and that aspect changes all the time. I'm trying to help those other guys come through.

"It was great out there and the way [Jacob] Bethell played and Harry [Brook] took the game on in that manner. It shows his versatility compared to how he played the other day and shows what we're capable of as a 50-over team. Really good step forward for this group after a tough period away from home. A lot to build on and for the guys that are staying for the T20 stuff, a lot of confidence to take into that as well."

On how he will be spending his time off: "I'm quite looking forward, to it to be honest. Having a little bit of time at home, a bit of a break, having a bit of time with the family.

"I'm looking forward to that Test series [against New Zealand]. It's very rare that we get time off in the calendar. If there's things you want to work on that's your chance to do it, that's what I want to try and do throughout that period."

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka, speaking at the presentation: "It was a good game and the result was a bit disappointing in the end. We found a good name for number four in Pavan Rathnayake, who batted really well.

"I think the second game we could have batted better. We were 30 or 40 runs short. When you come to this his game Harry Brook and Joe Root they won it with good batting. It was tough to contain them. I thought the ball might turn on this surface but when it's not turning it's hard to bowl in the last 10 overs with spinners.

"I think the T20 series is the most important series before the T20 World Cup. We want to do the basic things right before an important World Cup."

We're into the presentation. Joe Root is named player of the series. Harry Brook is named man of the match.

Sri Lanka are never easily beaten at home. They have a very long run of successes in series in their country.

For England, what a turnaround. They looked inept in the first game then gained some confidence in the second game. Today's performance from Joe Root and Harry Brook have been of a very different quality.

The runs on the board put England in a very unassailable position. The response at the top of Sri Lanka's innings was exciting but these sorts of totals are always so tough to get close to.

For Sri Lanka, a rare series defeat at home. For England, a boost before the T20 tournament.

Sri Lanka were previously unbeaten in four home ODI series so that's a decent effort by England to fight back from 1-0 down.

We'll bring you all of the reaction from the post-match presentation.

Sri Lanka make a decent fist of it but England are worthy winners of this match thanks to centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brook.

England also clinch a 2-1 series victory.

Pavan Rathnayake gets down low and manages to meet a delivery from Sam Curran on the full which he paddles round the corner for four.

Rathnayake gives it the heave-ho into the leg side and Jacob Bethell produces a bit of fielding magic on the fence to palm the ball into the field and save a boundary.

There was a thought earlier that Pavan Rathnayake hasn't unleashed the big shots, but if he does it now then this should become more interesting.

That was a big one and shows he can make those distances.

We've got echoes of the first match when Jamie Overton started smacking it everywhere.

Pavan Rathnayake has now officially cut loose!

Rehan Ahmed is mullered into the stands by Rathnayake, who goes down on one knee and slog sweeps to devastating effect.

A couple of balls later and Jeffrey Vandersay reverse sweeps Ahmed for four.

That's 14 runs off the over and Sri Lanka having a bit of go here. Five overs left.

Four singles off an Adil Rashid before Pavan Rathnayake goes down on one knee and helps one slipped down the leg side on its sway with a hearty biff.

There was a brief chance of a catch for Rehan Ahmed but it would have been quite a spectacular grab.

Time for Pavan Rathnayake to cut loose and go down in a blaze of glory?
