Will Jacks starred with bat and ball as England proved too strong for Sri Lanka on a tricky Durham pitch

Poor work at deep fine leg by Madushanka, who goes for a one-handed stop by the rope but lets it slip away for four.

Brilliant from Asitha Fernando, who nips it away from the right-hander, beating the prod forward to take the off bail.
