England completed a thumping 211‑run victory on day four of the first Test against Sri Lanka to end their 13‑match winless run away from home.
England steadily took top order wickets in the first two sessions before taking the final five after tea.
The win puts England 1‑0 up in the three‑match series and is their first in an overseas Test since October 2016.
Meanwhile, Australia registered a seven‑run win against South Africa to snap a one‑day cricket losing streak.
The South Africans, chasing 232 at Adelaide Oval, made 224‑9 as Australia set up a series‑deciding game three in Hobart tomorrow.
