    match summery:-

    In response to Sri Lanka's 600-6 declared, India was bowled out for 223 and 138 to lose by an innings and 239 runs. It was the biggest innings margin against India since it lost by an innings and 285 runs against England in 1974 and its third worst ever.

    The win was also Sri Lanka's third biggest ever innings win, with the other two coming against minnow Zimbabwe.

    India began at 158-6 in its first innings, facing a difficult task merely to avoid the follow-on, and its famed batting line-up could find no answer to Sri Lanka's spin pair, losing 14 wickets in just over two sessions.

    Muttiah Muralidaran (5-84 and 6-26) recorded the 21st 10-wicket haul of his career, and Sri Lanka appears to have unearthed a short-term spin partner and longer-term potential replacement in Mendis (4-72 and 4-60) who impressed on debut.

    Sri Lanka's innings included a national record-equalling four centuries, as captain Mahela Jayawardena (136), Malinda Warnapura (115), Thilan Samaraweera (127) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (125 not out) all prospered on a benign pitch.

    By contrast, the shortcomings of India's high-profile batsmen were stark.

    VVS Laxman (56) and No. 11 Ishant Sharma held out for 108 balls for the last wicket of the first innings, but that effort came in marked contrast to their teammates, and Sri Lanka duly enforced the follow on.

    Virender Sehwag (13) was first to go in the second innings after misreading and leaving a Muttiah Muralidaran delivery that pitched on leg stump and went straight on to hit his back leg. Field umpire Mark Benson ruled him not out, but host captain Mahela Jayawardena successfully challenged the decision under trial laws used for the first time in this Test, and he was given out by the third umpire after a video review.

    Laxman (21) was trapped lbw after lunch, soon followed by Sachin Tendulkar (12), who made little headway in his quest to overtake Brian Lara as Test cricket's highest run scorer. He top-edged a sweep and was caught by Tillakaratne Dilshan running from leg slip.

    The remaining seven wickets tumbled for a mere 56 runs.

    TX i hope u enjoyed
