Sri Lanka Beat England, Despite Buttler Ton

London: Jos Buttler scored a superb century but England fell short by seven runs against Sri Lanka who levelled the one-day series at 2-2 in 4th ODI against Sri Lanka at the Lord's on Saturday.

The 23-year-old Lancashire batsman thrilled the Lord's crowd with a scintillating 121 from 74 balls.
