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.

OUT! Bowled. Dom Bess to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed to. You miss, I hit! Hasaranga looks to reverse sweeps this away but misses it completely, and the ball crashes onto the stumps. It's tea on Day 1. Sri Lanka have been bundled out for 135 under 50 overs. For Sri Lanka, Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with 28 and was well supported by Angelo Mathews with 27. Poor batting display from Sri Lanka in the first innings overall and this is the lowest score in the first innings on this ground. On behalf of England, Dominic Bess bagged five wickets to his name. Stuart Broad with three and Jack Leach with a wicket to his name. Excellent bowling display from England bowlers. Join us for England's first innings shortly.

Tomorrow's morning session will be crucial for both the teams as England will look to post a huge total on the board whereas the host will look for early wickets.
