After losing their previous four series, Sri Lanka have finally started a series with a win, beating England by 75 runs. Here are stats highlights from an interesting fourth day in Galle
- Sri Lanka's win is their seventh against England and their fifth against them in home Tests. Their last defeat against England at home came at the SSC in the 2001 series. Sri Lanka's win is only their second since Muttiah Muralitharan's retirement and their first at home. England have now gone on to lose four consecutive Tests. This is the first such sequence for them after the 0-5 whitewash in Australia in 2006-07.
