Alex Hales reached his third ODI hundred as he hit 26 off one Seekkuge Prasanna over, first hitting back-to-back boundaries before smashing three huge sixes

Alex Hales likes hitting sixes!

The England opener hit six of them in his 133 not out as he and Jason Roy (112no) both hit hundreds in the 10-wicket hammering on Sri Lanka at Edgbaston.

Three of those came in three balls, immediately after the Nottinghamshire man reached his third ODI ton, Hales smashing Seekkuge Prasanna for three huge maxiumums over cow corner.

Hales had earlier hit back-to-back fours off the legs-pinner, plundering 26 of the 27 runs to come from the over as England chased down Sri Lanka's 255-run target in 34.1 overs.

Hales and Roy's opening stand is a record in ODIs for England and a record-highest total chased for a 10-wicket win.
