Sri Lanka end 27 year wait for a ODI series victory over India

Stumped

Sri Lanka are celebrating after victory over India in the third One Day International by 110 runs to clinch the One Day series 2-0.

It's the first time since 1997 that Sri Lanka have beaten India in a One Day series. Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell reflect on the series and discuss Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India's Head Coach beginning in defeat.

The Hundred is ongoing in England with the business end of the tournament fast approaching. Australian cricketer Spencer Johnson who is part of the Oval Invincibles team, joins us on the programme. We also pay tribute to former England cricketer Graham Thorpe, who died aged 55 years old this week.
