Sri Lanka batsman Lahiru Thirimanne says that it was "very easy" to score his unbeaten century in the team's nine-wicket win over England at the World Cup.

Lahiru Thirimanne has said that it was "very easy" to face England's bowlers in Sri Lanka's nine-wicket win at the World Cup.

The opening batsman hit an unbeaten century as Sri Lanka eased past England's total of 309 with 16 balls to spare in Wellington earlier this morning.

Thirimanne, who was out for a duck against Afghanistan last time out, told Sky Sports News: "To be honest that day Afghanistan's bowlers did really well, but there was a little bit for the seamers. Today it was very easy for me.

"I only missed out in one match against Afghanistan. Other than that, I have scored runs so I am very happy with my performance.

"I think anything can happen in this tournament. We were one down when things started but we have come back really hard. We still have to play Australia and we want to give our 100% and win that match as well."

The win leaves Sri Lanka second in Pool A after four matches.
