Sri Lanka defeated England in a one-sided fashion

From here, the Sri Lankan team managed to make a comeback in the match. They got a target of 219 runs to win in the fourth innings of the match, which Sri Lanka achieved at the loss of only 2 wickets.

Lost the match even after gaining lead

In such a situation, England got a lead of 62 runs after the first innings. But the team's performance in the second innings was very poor.
