<p>This test witnessed some of the breaking of historic records and the maiden century of young English talent, Gus Atkinson. A fifer for Avisha Fernando and also a big milestone for Joe Root. Let's first take a look at the match summary:</p>

<p>The visiting team won the toss and elected to field, inviting the home side, England, to bat first. While England did not display their usual aggressive start, they maintained control of the innings despite losing three early wickets.</p>

<p>Joe Root, the only member of cricket's esteemed "Fab Four" still in regular action, continued to showcase his consistent form with a well-crafted century. Following Root's lead, Gus Atkinson, who recently made headlines with his impressive bowling performances, took advantage of Sri Lanka's lackluster bowling attack to score a century of his own, boasting a strike rate of over 100. These two standout performances helped propel England to a formidable total of 427 runs in their first innings.</p>



<p>In response, Sri Lanka struggled against England's disciplined bowling attack, with only Kamindu Mendis providing some resistance with a valuable 74-run contribution. The rest of the Sri Lankan batting lineup failed to cross the 25-run mark, and they were bowled out for 196, giving England a substantial first-innings lead of 231 runs.</p>



<p>Building on their strong position, England added a further 250 runs to their lead, driven once again by a century from Joe Root, who dominated the Sri Lankan bowlers for a second time. Faced with a daunting target, Sri Lanka needed several substantial innings to stay in the game.</p>

<p>Despite several batsmen getting off to promising starts, none could convert their innings into significant scores. Gus Atkinson, who had shined with the bat in the first innings, proved equally effective with the ball, taking a five-wicket haul to dismiss Sri Lanka for 292. England secured a comprehensive victory by a margin of 190 runs.</p>
