England bounced back from their T20 series defeat to Sri Lanka in emphatic fashion by hammering the visitors by seven wickets in the opening one-day international of their three-match series in Durham.
Mahika Gaur (3-26) and Lauren Filer (3-27), two of three ODI debutants named in the side, starred with the ball, taking three wickets apiece, as did leg-spinner Sarah Glenn (3-20), to see Sri Lanka dismissed for 106 in just 30.2 of their allotted 50 overs.
In reply, England needed just 18 overs to wrap up victory, with Maia Bouchier (17no) - rounding off the debutants - hitting a couple of crisp cover drives to the boundary, including one to clinch victory.

England captain Heather Knight praised debutant Mahika Gaur after she took three wickets in the win over Sri Lanka.
"Kate Cross was back to her best and supported Mahika, who bowled some magic balls and is a really exciting prospect.
"And Lauren Filer in the middle is a real crowd favourite, she gets everyone up and about."
Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu:
"Today was a tough day in the office. We all knew we needed 250-260 on this wicket.
"Special mention to Mahika and Kate Cross, who bowled really beautifully in the first hour. They bowled really good areas and England took a couple of wickets, so we were already under pressure. We didn't handle that pressure.
"I think we can bounce back in the next game because I know about my unit, they always have a good, positive mindset."
The final two games of the women's ODI series between England and Sri Lanka are at Northampton on Tuesday (12.30pm start) and then Leicester on Thursday (12.30pm start), with both matches live on Sky Sports Cricket.
