Batting legend Root continues to pile up runs consistently as he stars in yet another win for England. In a tense run-chase of 205 runs, Root scored a slow, but a well-compiled 62 runs that guided his team to a win despite losing wickets early.
After a fine 42 in the first innings, Root once again showcased his class, composure and clutch game in a tense run chase of 205 runs, scoring an unbeaten 62 in 128 balls, with two fours, coming in when England was 56/2.
Smith showed immense composure, versatility and class across both the innings as his century in first innings and a quick cameo in the run-chase proved to be vital in England's five wicket win over Lankan Lions in the first Test at Manchester.
Sri Lankan batters fought hard, with contributions from Kamindu Mendis, Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal, Silva and Milan Rathnayake standing out. But it still was not enough to overcome England, who were powered by contributions of their middle order in absence of their injured opener Zak
Root starred with a calm half-century during a tense run-chase while Smith smashed his maiden Test ton in the first innings to hand England a massive lead of 122 runs in the first innings, which proved to be instrumental in team's win.
