A superb 123 by Mahela Jayawardene set up a comfortable six-wicket win for Sri Lanka over Pakistan which gave them an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.

The tourists made 288-8 in their 50 overs, including 66 from Umar Akmal, brother of wicket-keeper Kamran.

But Jayawardene's belligerent ton - which included 14 fours and a six - coupled with Upul Tharanga's 76, set up a 202-run opening wicket partnership.

Despite losing wickets, Sri Lanka eased home with 21 balls to spare.
