England secure whitewash over Sri Lanka

Monday, 26 November 2018 16:00

England won the third and final Test of the series to complete a whitewash in Sri Lanka.

England won by 42 runs to secure the victory – it is only the third time Sri Lanka have been whitewashed at home.

Kusal Mendis hit 86 and Roshen Silva made a fine 65 to frustrate the tourists before Jack Leach ran out Kusal to seemingly restore control.

Moeen Ali (4-92) struck twice to put England on the brink until a defiant last-wicket stand of 58 from the hosts.

But Leach (4-72) snared Suranga Lakmal lbw to bowl out Sri Lanka for 284.
