Chris Jordan has urged England to end the one-day international tour of Sri Lanka on a high.
The tourists failed to take the seven-match series into a decider tomorrow after losing the sixth contest by 90 runs in Kandy on Saturday.
But Jordan insists his side are determined to put on a show and repay the loyal fans that have travelled to the island to support their country.
The 26-year-old said: "It's a series we wanted to win, and we thought we had a really good chance of winning.
"We're really close to putting together a full performance. Every time you put an England shirt on, you go out there to win a game for England.
"We have fans who have travelled a long way to see us perform, and we plan to put a really good show on for them."

Jordan started this tour with a below-par performance in the warm-up win over Sri Lanka A, leaking 48 runs from five overs.
But having returned to the starting line-up since the third ODI in Hambantota, he has impressed in his four outings.
Jordan has taken two wickets in each match, including dismissing Kumar Sangakkara on three occasions, to leave him the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the series with eight, four behind Chris Woakes.
He said: "Also [I was working on] my plans to left-handers, getting my angles right from round the wicket and mixing up my pace....I'm just happy with the improvement I've made.
"On slow wickets, I guess I have the ability to extract a little bit more bounce. I find a knack to pick up wickets, even when I'm not quite bowling as well as I'd like.
"That's quite handy in one-day cricket, keep taking wickets and get two new batters at the crease. You can keep building pressure that way."

On regularly dismissing Sangakkara, Jordan added: "It's a nice scalp to have a few times."
Not only does Jordan bowl pace, he is also a useful lower-order batsman and gun fielder, particularly in the slip cordon.
He is hoping his ability in all three disciplines will be enough to secure his place in Head Coach Peter Moores’ 15-man squad for next year’s World Cup, which is named on Saturday.
Jordan, with 18 ODI caps to his name, added: "I guess being a three-dimensional cricketer doesn't hurt. I think I've steadily improved.
"I've been working quite hard on my accuracy and consistency ... and also to keep my pace up, and think I've shown glimpses in the games.
"I guess that's a job for the selectors. All I can do is keep putting in my hard work in the nets and any opportunity I do get in games, and leave the rest up to them."
Saying goodbye to the Sri Lanka fans tomorrow will be a “great honour” for Mahela Jayawardene.

Along with fellow veteran Sangakkara, the 37-year-old is set to retire after the World Cup, meaning his 434th ODI tomorrow will be his last on home soil and in his native city.
"The fans have been fantastic," he said. "We've probably got the best - they do criticise us, but it is with a good heart.
"They don't go overboard. They know it's just a game, and they keep turning up whether we do well or not, and they're always behind us.
"To say thank you tomorrow will be a great, great honour."
Asked for his favourite recollections of an international career which has so far brought him more than 25,000 runs across the formats, he said: "I think the best memories will be the fans, the music, the rhythm.
"I grew up with that, playing for my school, always had it when we played the big matches.
"To finish it off in that same rhythm, you can't ask for anything else."
2,596 - Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara have put on 2,596 ODI runs in Sri Lanka, the most by a pair at home venues. Era. #SLvENG
