Root and Sibley in a partnership-min
England's short outing in Sri Lanka has come to conclusion, with a clean sweep by visitors in the two-match Test series. England completed the sweep with a victory by six wickets in the second Test at Galle. By the end of day three, England were 339/9, trailing by 42 runs. England skipper departed just before the close of play on day three. Sri Lankan bowlers were quick enough to get the last England wicket on day four morning. As a result, England were bowled out for 344 in their first innings and conceded a lead of 37 runs. The hosts were in a commanding position to start the second innings. But England bowlers made a twist in the tale as Sri Lankan batsmen were collapsed in the morning session itself. With a crucial 40 runs from Lasith Embuldeniya, Sri Lanka managed to score 126 runs in the second innings. With that England were asked to chase 164 runs to win the second Test. The visitors were steady in the crucial run chase, which is a difficult one in Galle. At one point, England lost three wickets in regular intervals. But the partnership between Jos Buttler and Dominic Sibley ensured the chase on the visitors' side. Both of them remained not out and completed the chase for the loss of four wickets. Buttler and Sibley were on 46 and 56 respectively. With the win, England completed a series sweep of 2-0, and now they will head towards the bigger challenge in
