England won against Sri Lanka on a thrilling day four of the second test to win the series 2-0 

England were chasing a tricky total of 164, and they were 89-4 but opener Dom Sibley hit 56 not out to lead them to a six-wicket win. 

Sibley, who had not reached double figures in the series put on 75 with Jos Buttler, who made 46 not out. 

Earlier, England capitalised on reckless batting to dismiss Sri Lanka for 126 in their second innings. 

Dom Bess and Jack Leach took four wickets each and the hosts would have been dismissed even more cheaply but number 10 Lasith Embuldeniya, who finished with figures of 10-210. 

Resuming on 339-9 in their first innings, England conceded a first innings deficit of 37 when Jack Leach was dismissed with only five runs added. 

Sri-Lanka were favourites at that point, but in a dramatic fourth day, when 15 wickets fell, England turned it around.

The series win is England's fourth in a row and they are also unbeaten in 10 successive Tests under Joe Root's captaincy. 

They will be playing a difficult series against a very strong India team starting on the 5 February.
