Galle, Jan 18 (TIWN) England on Monday completed the formalities of scoring the additional 36 runs to win the first Test against Sri Lanka by seven wickets at the Galle International Stadium.
Bairstow and Lawrence remained unbeaten on 35 and 21 respectively as the visitors took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. After England slipped to 14/3 during a frantic end to the fourth day, Bairstow and Lawrence's unbroken 62-run stand guided England to a rather comfortable win. Sri Lanka were earlier bundled out for mere 135 in their first innings. England, in reply, scored 421, riding on captain Joe Root's brilliant 228 and 78 from Lawrence.
