Sri Lanka managed to bowl England out & take a 1-0 series lead on the 5th day in Kandy. The hosts conceded a 1st innings lead of 93 but Sangakkara blasted them in to a strong position 2nd time around, and England were set 350 to win.
Going into the final day at 9-1, England were looking to bat until dusk & pathetically beg for bad light thereby gaining a draw, but once Prior & Bell had been dismissed after 109 run partnership, Sri Lanka cleaned up (with the help of some ‘interesting’ umpiring decisions.)
The biggest news from the Match was Murali’s overtaking of some Aussie’s record. Congratulations from Pie Chucker & more on this amazing feat to come.
