London: Gus Atkinson completed a memorable match by taking five wickets as England thrashed Sri Lanka by 190 runs in the second Test at Lord's on Sunday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match series.
Sri Lanka, set what would have been a new Test record fourth-innings winning total of 483, were dismissed for 292 after tea on the fourth day despite fifties from Dinesh Chandimal (58), Dimuth Karunaratne (55) and captain Dhananjaya de Silva (50).
Fast bowler Gus Atkinson, who scored his maiden first-class hundred in England's first innings 427, led the attack with 5-62.
That meant player-of-the-match Atkinson secured a fifth mention on the dressing room honours boards in just his second Test at the 'Home of Cricket' after taking 12 wickets on England debut against the West Indies at Lord's last month.
