10.50am: They think it's Galle over... it is now but we've got another Test starting here in a few days, so don't even think about going anywhere. George has whistled up a final wrap of the game, and we'll have more post-match treats for you to come. In the meantime, there's been some rain in Brisbane, but play is about to resume in the fourth Test between Australia and India, so why not get involved? Thanks from myself, Miller, Shashank and Thilak, your comments kept us going in the small hours, and it's been a lot of fun. Back for more on Friday. Cheerio!

10.38am: Time for the match presentations, starting with stand-in Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal: "I think it was a crucial toss to win, but the first innings cost us the game. You have to get a big total in the first innings, so that cost us on this kind of track. Credit to Thirimanne, Angelo, Kusal Janith, everyone did their bit as a batting unit in the second innings, and another 70-80 runs it could have been a different story. We have to take the positives and look to the next one. [What went wrong?] First day, coming from South Africa, we played like we were still there - and that cost us. We'll learn from our mistakes, did well in the second, so that's a plus. Stick to the team plan, and first innings will be crucial [in the second Test]."

England captain Joe Root is also named Man of the Match: "To come here with little preparation, and play in the manner we have has been really impressive. Great effort yesterday, not a lot fell for us, and for the two spinners to get five-fors is a brilliant effort, particularly with the little cricket they've played. Series like these are always tough but without the prep it's testament to their characters. To perform like we did after lunch was a good effort, we'll keep looking to get better, but a really pleasing start. [Spinners] Brilliant achievement, think the exciting thing is there's more to come from this group, most important thing is we have that attitude into the next Tests. [Bubbles] Number of challenges, really important looking to perform as a group, find ways to stay together, something we did well this game. [Innings] Thing that pleased me the most was my mindset, felt I got into a good place, managed to get my feet apart and get forward and back well, good balance between attack and defence and didn't waver. People have been critical of my conversion, so nice to go and make a big one."

10.22am: Nary a flutter, Bairstow and Lawrence knock 'em off and that's 1-0 in the series and 60 WTC points in the bag. England's second consecutive win in Galle, and fourth straight here in Sri Lanka - all set up by skittling the home side for 135, and then riding on Joe Root's fourth Test double, though the the second half of the match was more of an even contest. Sri Lanka couldn't pull out a miracle on the final morning, but they'll take plenty from their second-innings effort with the bat, and we know they have the slow-bowling tools to hurt England. The second Test, starting on Friday, should be a good'un

Simon Doull has grabbed Jonny Bairstow, who hit the winning runs on his comeback to the Test side, for a quick word: "Pretty tough [to bat], saw a lot more balls were raising off a length, some chunks coming out and it was tricky. Needed to be precise in your movements, bouncing more going forward so playing as much off the back foot in the second innings. [Test return?] Fantastic, what you want to do, and to be on the winning side. You know the challenges in the subcontinent. Rooty in the first innings, Leach and Bessy, and the quicks. Someone like Woody, the hard toil he's put in... Huge credit to those guys. [Final morning] You need 36, that's the be all and end all, doesn't matter how you get there. Have to be looking to score otherwise there's a good ball coming your way. Go out and be busy, running between the wickets is huge, pressuring them in the field. [Bubble life?] It's tricky, happy to have the Christmas break after six nights at home since August. You go from the ground back to the hotel and back again. We're not the only ones, staff and commentators, but it's tricky. Wins and moments like this make it special. [No crowds] We've got a lone ranger from the Barmy Army, fantastic he's up there and watching us. Fans back home, we thank you all for your support. All the hard work is hopefully being enjoyed."

"Looks like a good debut for Lawrence. 73 first innings and what looks like a not out under a little bit of pressure after the 3 quick wickets." Spot on, Dawolf. Essex boy, innit?

Any nerves, England fans?

PhilFour: "I turn into a pumpkin in less than 15 minutes if England don't wrap it up!! " Ah, fair enough

England have dug (their way out of a hole) for victory here, you'd think... seven more needed

"Not long now: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, job done," coos Dave Fern, contentedly

Applause from the England balcony for the fifty stand, I think they're sitting comfortably up there now

And Dilruwan Perera also switches ends. Bit harsh on Hasaranga...

"Pick, pick, pick...England should just slam the door shut on this...get some boundaries...or, A boundary." Erm, you do know they've got about 90 overs left in which to get this done, PhilFour?

Change of ends for Embuldeniya

Cricket Simplet: "thats it.. England gonna win in Sri Lanka and India.. and India gonna win the Gabba test.. England and New Zealand gonna fight it out in the lords .. and gonna end up in a Tie.. when this happens.. you'll remember the name.. Cricket Simpleton! :D" That Gabba Test is beautifully poised now
