Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has questioned the team’s over-aggressive batting and fielding approach after they succumbed to a heavy defeat in the third Test against Sri Lanka at the Kia Oval.

Despite winning the series, England lost the chance for a clean sweep as Sri Lanka beat them comprehensively in the third Test. England were 221-3 on day one but were bundled out for 325, as the usual aggressive approach misfired.

The visitors in response made 263. In the second innings, England were skittled out for 156, meaning the tourists had to chase 219, and they did it comfortably with eight wickets remaining. Pathum Nissanka starred with a 124-ball 127.

Vaughan lambasted England for the loss in his column for The Telegraph, claiming "they have made a habit of becoming a bit complacent after a good period."
