In a nail-biting finish at Headingley, Sri Lanka secured a memorable victory against England, winning with the last ball of the match. Shaminda Eranga’s delivery to dismiss James Anderson sealed not just a Test win, but also Sri Lanka’s first-ever series victory in England in a multi-Test series. England initially seemed to dominate, but a dramatic collapse of 8 wickets for 87 runs shifted the momentum. Angelo Mathews’ century propelled Sri Lanka forward. Dhammika Prasad’s bowling further destabilized England’s top order. Despite Moeen Ali’s maiden century, England couldn’t recover. Eranga’s final ball ensured Sri Lanka’s hard-fought victory and a clean sweep of the tour.
