Joe Root on Saturday completed his fourth Test double century but ran out of partners as his England team threw away wickets against Sri Lanka before he could reach his career-best.

The England captain made 228 out of the tourists' 421 all out - 26 runs short of his brilliant 254 against Pakistan at Old Trafford in 2016.
