Sri Lanka Wins Test Against England

Sri Lanka secured their first Test victory in England in over a decade, defeating the hosts by eight wickets in the third Test at The Oval. Pathum Nissanka was instrumental, scoring an unbeaten 127 to guide Sri Lanka to their target of 219 runs. Despite early setbacks and the challenge of England's bowling, Nissanka's calm and composed innings, coupled with contributions from Angelo Mathews, ensured a comprehensive win. England's performance was marred by costly mistakes and injuries, with Ollie Pope admitting the team 'shot ourselves in the foot'. This victory denied England a clean sweep of the series, marking Sri Lanka's first Test win in England since 2014.
