Vaughan went on to say that England disrespected Test cricket and Sri Lanka with how they decided to approach the match. He further said that England did not go with their usual Bazball style of play after winning the first two Tests of the series and Sri Lanka took advantage of the lapse.

Watch: England Pacer Chris Woakes Forced To Bowl Spin, Joe Root Can't Keep Calm

In a bizarre incident that took place during the Day 2 of the third Test between England and Sri Lanka in London, pacer Chris Woakes was spotted bowling spin. Woakes, who remains one of England's finest pacers, had no option but to turn into a spin bowler because of bad light at the stadium. It all happened after the run out of Sri Lanka batter Dimuth Karunaratne.
