25
End of over. Over 25. 4 runs. Bowler: Dilruwan Perera. England: 76/3(rr 3.04)
24.2Perera to J Bairstow4
Four runs. FOUR! Dilruwan Perera to Jonny Bairstow. Off break length ball, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. That's curtains down on the first Test. England has won by seven wickets. Sri Lanka must be killing themselves for not scoring enough in the first innings. Yet the Sri Lankans can pat themselves on the back for coming back strongly and showing great fighting spirit. Joe Root is adjudged as the Player of the Match for his stellar performance with the bat. This is the first time since 1982 that two spinners from England have picked up five wickets in the same match. Join us for the final Test from the same venue on January 22. Until then, Cheers.
