England vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test Day 4 Highlights: Gus Atkinson Stars As England Seal Series With Unassailable 2-0 Lead

England vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 4 Highlights: Gus Atkinson continued his Lord's love affair by taking five wickets as England thrashed Sri Lanka by 190 runs in the second Test on Sunday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match series. Sri Lanka, set what would have been a new Test record fourth-innings winning total of 483, were dismissed for 292 after tea on the fourth day despite fifties from Dinesh Chandimal (58), Dimuth Karunaratne (55) and captain Dhananjaya de Silva (50). Fast bowler Atkinson, who scored his maiden first-class hundred in England's first-innings 427, led the attack with 5-62. Player-of-the-match Atkinson secured a fifth mention on the dressing room honours boards in just his second Test at Lord's after taking 12 wickets on England debut against the West Indies in July.

Right then, that brings us to the end of this entertaining 2nd Test. England are 2-0 up and will go for the clean sweep while Sri Lanka will hope to end it on a good note. The final Test will begin on 6th September, Friday at 10 am GMT, but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the game. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

Ollie Pope, the victorious skipper of England says that he is really happy for getting 2-0 up with some special performances and important contributions. He reckons that this week was a bit different than the last week as they lost wickets at regular intervals. He reckons that the inning from Joe Root helped them to get the humongous lead. He also mentions how the reviews were not being used properly by them. He is also thankful for getting the important contributions from Gus Atkinson and Matthew Potts with the bat as the 30-40 extra runs pushed the morale of the team. He
