Jayasuriya's name is in danger of being removed from the debate about Sri Lanka's greatest batsman by the astonishing feats of their two remaining batting stalwarts. Kumar Sangakkara may have missed out here after rising to the top of the world rankings, but his captain has filled the void admirably.

Mahela Jayawardene has always been a lovely batsman to watch, boasting a classical technique and all the shots in the MCC manual. Today, he broke so many records it's hard to keep up.

He's now equalled Aravinda De Silva's record of 20 Test tons for Sri Lanka, overtaken Jayasuriya's total runs haul, become the first Sri Lankan to reach 7000 Test runs, become only the second player ever to score 2000 Test runs on the same ground...
