Key Stats
86.4 Jack Leach to Suranga Lakmal
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Jack Leach to Suranga Lakmal. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Fourth ball after tea, and Jack Leach does the business for England! New ball, skids on with the arm, and Lakmal plays down the wrong line. Very important that the umpire raised the finger, as Lakmal reviews, and HawkEye says it is only just clipping the top of leg stump.Huge heart shown by Sri Lanka, but once again they are outplayed by this England side. The momentum shifted with that Kusal Mendis run out earlier, otherwise the hosts were on to chase this down. A great Test Match, and even better series. Sri Lanka had moments of excellent cricket, but the consistency lacked. England were positive in their approach, and were very entertaining to watch throughout. A deserved 3-0 whitewash.

APPEAL! OUT changed by umpire to NOT OUT after REFERRAL. Moeen Ali to Suranga Lakmal. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, hit pad to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Foakes, appeal made for Caught.

LBW is checked as well, and it is turning down leg and bouncing over the top. Not a great decision.
