    Now on the way to posting a half decent score for England to chase.

    Pretty easy to pick a Sri Lanka MOTM I guess - even before England’s 2nd innings!

    Not often Root has better innings bowling figures (wickets & economy) vs Anderson :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Well batted Dom Sibley. This will be a boost to his confidence ahead of the India tour.

    Apart from the fact that the series was effectively lost by 2 awful collapses by Sri Lanka, that’s a perfect warm-up for the India series. Joe Root is back to his peerless best, with some young apprentices learning their trade in subcontinental conditions. All good stuff!

    Bet no one thought that today would include the end of our 1st innings, the Sri Lankan 2nd innings and then us winning by 6 wickets with a day left. Good for morale before India.

    Going to be weird not having Sky or TMS for the India series.

    Even weirder than only selecting Buttler for the first test, regardless of how many runs he scores.
