Watch highlights from the first session, where England set the highest-ever ODI score at Gaddafi Stadium against Sri Lanka

Ben Duckett fired the highest score of his ODI career to help England end a disappointing tri-series campaign with a 55-run victory over Sri Lanka in Lahore.

England's hopes of reaching Saturday's final in Pakistan were already over after three consecutive group stage defeats, but Harry Brook's side successfully defended a commanding target of 387 and claimed a consolation win.

Duckett fired 167 from just 132 deliveries and put on big partnerships with Tom Banton (74) and Brook (44), as England scored 386-5 after losing the toss and batting first.

Pavan Rathnayake led the reply with 118 from 77 deliveries and Kusal Mendis (89) also impressed, with Sri Lanka threatening to pull of another famous chase - like the one they managed against England last week - when they passed 300 with five wickets still in hand.

Liam Dawson (4-49) made the Rathnayake breakthrough and Sonny Baker (2-75) also took key wickets, while Henry Crocombe, Joe Root and Sam Curran claimed one each as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 331 after 45.1 overs.
