Kandy (November 18, 2018): Jack Leach’s first five-wicket haul clinched an overwhelming win for England in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Sunday that sealed the series with a match to go.
England needed just 30 minutes on the fifth day to take the final three wickets with Leach fittingly getting last man Malinda Pushpakmura caught and bowled to set off celebrations.
It was England’s first away series win since beating South Africa in 2015-16 and their first series win in Sri Lanka since 2001.
The third Test starts in Colombo on Friday.
