England have missed out on qualifying for the ODI tri-series final after Sri Lanka’s bowlers blew Pakistan away on Tuesday to secure an eight-wicket victory in Lahore.
After suffering three defeats at the tournament, Brendon McCullum's side were left on the brink of elimination and needed Pakistan to win on Tuesday and a victory against Sri Lanka in their final round-robin match on Thursday to advance.
Instead, Sri Lanka will now face Pakistan in the final on October 31, after Gary Kirsten's side, who won the toss and elected to bowl, dismissed the hosts for 110 in 25.3 overs - Pakistan's second-lowest ODI total at home.
