Sangakkara's unbeaten 134 hang England's ICC Trophy Hopes in Balance

When England gave a hefty target of 294, including fifties from Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott and Joe Root, to Sri Lanka in the ICC Champions Trophy match Thursday, every one thought England was in for sixth consecutive win at Oval.

But that was not be so!!

Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara's imperious century not only led his country to a seven-wicket victory at The Oval but also hang England's hopes of laying hands on the coveted trophy in balance.

Sangakkara's unbeaten 134 was also aided by a 30-ball half-century from Nuwan Kulasekara, that took Sri Lanka to their target of 294 with 17 balls to spare.

Sri Lanka, who were bowled out for 138 in their opening one-wicket defeat by New Zealand, will advance with victory over Australia on Monday.
