9.45pm: Right, well, that's that then. There's a one-off T20 in Colombo on Saturday, so join us again for that, before the Test series begins next month. Hopefully (pretty please, fingers crossed), we won't spend quite so much time wittering about the rain. George's report is being updated, so from myself, Miller and Ollie, it's cheerio for now. Bye!

9.25pm: So, England claim the series 3-1, their ninth bilateral success in a row (usual disclaimer about the Scotland defeat). Time for the presentations: Niroshan Dickwella is Man of the Match: "I spoke to the coaches and they were talking about my batting. I had more control and was disappointed to get out in the 27th over. It was a proud and happy moment. I was taking time, it was hot and humid and I didn't get a cramp. I try to make room to score runs on the side [of the wicket], it's easy to use the pace instead of only clear mid-off and mid-on."

Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal: "Hard work from every one. Dickwella and Sadeera got a very good start and set the tone up front and after that myself and Kusal put a really good partnership. This is the hard work from everyone that's finally paid off. It's not an easy thing to do, when you lose the series to play a dead rubber game. We were mainly concerned about the fielding, like I said before the series, and the boys did their best today. We need to put in consistent performances, that's the main thing and we're working on."

England captain Eoin Morgan: "Sri Lanka took advantage of a very poor day from our part. Very disappointed to end the series like this. We gave some guys a chance and it really makes experience more valuable. Certainly we were outplayed. There were plenty of opportunities today. We go back to dissecting our plans, though process and skills we showed today. Individual form aside, what was best for the team was that younger players got some games under their belt. That was progress for the squad before the World Cup. It helps us improve our weaknesses between now and then."

9.15pm: "No chance of getting back on" seems to be the consensus from the ground... and there's the official word, Sri Lanka win by 219 runs (DLS method). It may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but Dinesh Chandimal and his players have produced a performance to instill confidence for the future. A bedraggled series gets a watery end, as England finish with a painful belly-flop of a performance.

9.05pm: Hello again, my thanks to Vishal for stepping in. The impending storm seemed to knock out the Sky cameras, as well as the power in the press box, from the sounds of it. Anyway, Sri Lanka are pretty much home and hosed (literally, in this case), so we'll see how long it takes for them to call things off. England have added another proper shocker to their otherwise-excellent post-World Cup record - resting a few players might have given Sri Lanka a sniff, but plummeting to a heaviest-ever defeat in ODIs was not part of the plan. Like a booming stock market, they never seem all that far from a crash...

8.55pm It's pouring out there in Colombo: heavy thunder, lightning, everything. Just one wicket away from win, Sri Lanka, and the weather wants to show its presence. Lots of feedback coming in about what the par score for England would be, how close they are. Just kidding but here you go: they should have been 351 right now and are 219 behind.

Right, that was not a joke actually. Nikila: "Please give us the DL score......"

Dushmantha Chameera returns

And the groundstaff are now beginning to move... DLS par score is 328(!), so England still facing a record defeat
