• England 342 & 322-6; Sri Lanka 203 & 250
• Herath last man out in final act of illustrious career
England wrapped up their first overseas Test victory for more than two years, downing Sri Lanka at their Galle stronghold by 211 runs with a day to spare.
There have been 13 games since the last success on foreign soil – taking in trips to Bangladesh, Australia, India and New Zealand – but England banished their travel sickness in style, led by Moeen Ali’s best match figures away from home.
