Four runs. FOUR! Prabath Jayasuriya to Joe Root. Stock length ball, off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Fittingly, Joe Root hits the winning runs. England win by five wickets and take the lead in the series 1-0. Root played the anchor role for the hosts, getting them through some difficult passages to chase down the target. The Sri Lankan bowlers tried their best but couldn't restrict the hosts to under 205. Jamie Smith is the Player of the Match for his maiden hundred and 150 runs across the two innings. Join us at Lord's for the second match starting on Thursday.
