England coach Peter Moores admits that it is "disappointing" to have lost their sixth one-day international against Sri Lanka by 90 runs.

Peter Moores has described England's 90-run defeat to Sri Lanka in their one-day international earlier as "disappointing".

Having been set a target of 293 for victory, the tourists were bowled out for 202 in Pallekele this morning, giving Sri Lanka an unassailable 4-2 lead in the seven-match series.

The coach told Sky Sports News: "It's disappointing. We came here thinking we could draw the series level, but we were outplayed in probably all three departments.

"We dropped catches and we lost too many wickets early despite being up with the rate. We also didn't choose the right lengths with the ball at times.

"We did some good things at times, but some costly errors let them get away from us."

Joe Root was the team's top scorer with 55.
