LONDON: Joe Root celebrated his 150th one-day international appearance with an unbeaten half-century as England claimed a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their series opener at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday .
Woakes, playing his first ODI in nine months, finished with an impressive 4-18 from his 10 overs as the tourists lost their final seven wickets for 40 runs. Sri Lanka's batsmen struggled to post big scores during the previous 3-0 Twenty20 series loss to England and it came as no surprise when they crumbled again in the middle overs.The tourists arrived into the match without three senior players - Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka - who were all sent home following a breach of bio-bubble protocols.
It was Woakes who ended the partnership and started the collapse with Hasaranga holing out to Livingstone at deep mid-wicket off a short ball.
