England took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Investec Test series with a nine-wicket win over Sri Lanka at Durham. But who were the standout performers? We picked out a player of the day at the end of each of the four days of the Test, with centurions Moeen Ali and Dinesh Chandimal both understandable inclusions while impressive knocks of 80 see Joe Root and Angelo Mathews round off our quartet.That means no place for man of the match James Anderson as the seamer - impressive throughout - spread his eight wickets during the game across the three days England were in the field. Click on the video at the top of the page to watch the quartets top performances, with a rundown below of why they were selected.DAY ONE - Having won the toss, England captain Alastair Cook elected to bat and will have been happy to see his side reach 310-6 at stumps. Root was the key man for England, making 80 in a positive knock that set the tone for the whole innings.DAY TWO - Beginning the day on 28, Ali was dropped early on before taking full advantage of his second chance to finish 155 not out. By that stage he had helped guide England up to 498-9 declared and the hosts drove home their advantage to reduce Sri Lanka to 91-8 at the close.DAY THREE - England would have hoped to seal victory on day three after bowling Sri Lanka out for 101 and enforcing the follow on. However, the tourists finally showed some resilience with Mathews leading the way. The Sri Lanka skipper hit a well-made 80 to frustrate England.DAY FOUR - The Sri Lanka fightback continued on day four with Chandimal at the forefront.

LOUIS -- St. Australias selectors have lost patience with Glenn Maxwell, putting the big show on hiatus by dropping him for the ODI series in Sri Lanka and instructing him to work on evolving into a more consistent batsman.While he has been omitted from the team on numerous occasions, this is the first time Maxwell has been dropped from the limited-overs squad altogether since his debut in 2012. The decision follows a run in which he has averaged 11.80 in six innings in Australias last 10 ODIs.In the recent triangular series in the Caribbean, Maxwell made one useful contribution of 46* to help Australia into the final, but made only seven runs in his other three innings combined, alongside sporadic use as a spin bowler. Named to replace Jon Holland for Australia A against South Africa A in Brisbane this week, Maxwell promptly made a duck.At the age of 27, Maxwell is at something of a crossroads in terms of his future. Less than 12 months ago he was set to be a part of the Test squad for an Australian tour of Bangladesh, but now finds himself out of the picture. The selection chairman Rod Marsh stated that the panel wanted the opportunity to pick Maxwell for all formats, but needed him to ally consistency to his explosive talent.If you want to play cricket for Australia, you should be consistent. If you are batsman, you should get consistent runs. If you are a bowler, you should get consistent wickets, or bowl well, Marsh said. As far as I am concerned, he has had a lot of chances. It got to that stage - we couldnt go on any longer. Glenn has too many games where he doesnt contribuute with the bat.dddddddddddd. He is a hell of a good fieldsman, as we know, he is handy bowler, and, at his best, he is one of our first picked in a one-day team.But if he is not making runs, then we have got to find a solution to it. The solution we have come up with is to put him back a step or two and see if he can get some runs there on a consistent basis. When you have got as much talent as that, you should be able to play all forms. He took it as well as what could be expected. No one likes being dropped but he understood the reasons and he also understands what hes got to do.Earlier this year, Maxwell denied he needed to go away and concentrate more on his batting, in the manner Steven Smith once did, in order to shore up his place in Australias plans and push for a Test berth. I dont think I can rest on just being a batsman, Maxwell told AAP. I know Steve Smith went that way when he lost his Test spot, not really bowling much at all. But I dont think I can go that direction. I have to keep working on both parts of my game and make sure theyre good enough.Shaun Marsh has returned to the squad in place of Travis Head after missing the West Indies series due to the birth of his first child, while the NSW allrounder Moises Henriques has effectively come in for Maxwell after a productive IPL. I hope he gets a game, Marsh said of Henriques. Hes been training the house down, really fit and I just hope his bad luck with injuries finishes. ' ' '
