Dejan Kalinic 18 November, 2018 11:09 IST England celebrate - Getty Images Dejan Kalinic 18 November, 2018 11:09 IST Jack Leach grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul in Tests as England sealed a series win over Sri Lanka with a 57-run victory on Sunday. Leach (5-83) and Moeen Ali (4-72) made quick work of the final three Sri Lanka wickets on day five of the second Test in Kandy. The result gave England a 2-0 lead in the three-Test series and marked their first series win in Sri Lanka since 2001. Resuming at 226-7, Sri Lanka still had hope of making the remaining 75 runs for victory. But those chances took a huge blow early, Niroshan Dickwella (35) edging Moeen to Ben Stokes at slip. Moeen struck again two balls later, a beautiful delivery beating Suranga Lakmal (0) through the gate and crashing into off stump. Leach completed his five-for with the final wicket, Malinda Pushpakumara (1) giving the left-arm spinner a return catch as England wrapped up their win. The final Test of the series begins in Colombo on Friday. Subscribe to our daily newsletter Get your daily dose of Sportstar with handpicked stories delivered right to your inbox!
