Hoggard, Caddick bowl
England to victory
Matthew Hoggard and Andy Caddick swept England to victory over Sri Lanka by an innings and 111 runs in the second Test, with more than a day to spare at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Sri Lanka, 383 behind on first innings, were bowled out for 272 in the second session on the fourth day, giving England a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.
Hoggard finished with five for 92 and Caddick took three for 67.
The touring team, who started the day on 132 for two, soon lost overnight pair Marvan Atapattu (56) and Mahela Jayawardene (59), who had put on 105, but England were then held up as Aravinda de Silva and Hashan Tillekeratne added 77 for the fifth wicket.
However, England took the second new ball soon after lunch and Caddick seized two wickets in two deliveries as Sri Lanka crumbled, losing five wickets for 39.
