England seal series win with Banton's maiden ODI century

Tom Banton opened his ODI career with a 126-run innings, guiding England to a commanding 355 for seven at the Kia Oval. Replacement opener Jordan Cox contributed 76, helping set a formidable target. Sri Lanka's reply faltered, losing their top three batsmen quickly and being bowled out for 132 with 20 overs remaining. England's bowling attack, featuring Liam Dawson's three wickets and a run-out by Jofra Archer, dismantled the Sri Lankan lineup. The win gave England a 2-1 series triumph, capping a summer marked by Ben Stokes' retirement and Brendon McCullum's coaching exit.
