Jack Leach was the star of the England attack claiming four victims, taking his total for the series to 18 wickets.
At one point, Sri Lanka were batting so well on a pitch that was only turning very slowly that victory actually seemed feasible.
Happily for England, Mendes, who had batted seriously well, decided to get himself run out from a superb throw in the deep by Leach.
At that point, the outcome was apparently not in doubt BUT the last pair batted Sri Lanka to within sight of the England total when Leach claimed his fourth!
3 - 0.
