Re: England v. Sri Lanka. Tests.
Sri Lanka have earned only their fourth Test victory on English soil after an unbeaten century by opener Pathum Nissanka helped secure an eight-wicket win in the third and final match of the series against England at The Oval.
England won the series 2-1 but missed out on a second clean sweep of their international summer, having defeated the West Indies 3-0 in July.
Starting day four on 1-94 and requiring 125 more runs to win, the Sri Lankans needed barely two hours to complete the job in clinical fashion. - CA.

Re: England v. Sri Lanka. Tests.
Brilliant away win by SL against a big 3 team. Wonderful effort from Nissanka and Kavindu Mendis to get the all important partnership going. Asitha Fernando has been outstanding in this game on a pitch which was predicted pre game to suit the spinners. Congratulations SL
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm
