2nd ODI: Sam Curran's maiden 5-wicket haul, fifties from Root, Morgan help England beat Sri Lanka

Sam Curran took his international cricket's maiden 5-wicket haul as England beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in 3-match ODI series.

England seamers Sam Curran and David Willey shared nine wickets to set up a crushing eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Thursday as the hosts chased down 241 with seven overs to spare to go 2-0 up in the three-match one-day international series. Curran took five for 48 from his 10 overs, with fellow left-armer Willey grabbing four for 64 as Sri Lanka made 241-9, something of a recovery after they were 21-4 in the seventh over.
