Jonny Bairstow top scored on his home ground with a brilliant 140 before Jimmy Anderson took 10-45 in the match as Sri Lanka were bowled out twice inside three days.Botham tipped odds-on shots England, Bairstow to be top first innings run scorer at 8/1 and Anderson to be top bowler at 5/2, seeing his Beefys Bets treble land at odds of 40/1.The Sky Sports commentator and Sky Bet tipster said: England were superb, very impressive and are on course to be the No 1 side in the world.

Broad looked in good nick at Leeds as well and again Id expect him to get more out of the wicket.Ben Stokes missing out injured will be a loss but Chris Woakes should now get a chance and the more England players that get experience, the stronger the whole squad becomes.
