All about Prabath Jayasuriya, who is set to break a cricket record unbroken since 1896
New Zealand is facing the prospect of their heaviest defeat in Test cricket after being forced to follow on in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. Following a disastrous morning session where Sri Lanka claimed eight wickets, the tourists were asked to bat again, trailing by a massive 514 runs.
Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya was the star of the first innings, taking 6 wickets for just 42 runs, while debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris also contributed, taking three wickets and dismissing New Zealand opener Tom Latham in the second innings.
New Zealand now faces the daunting task of chasing an improbable 511 runs on a turning Galle pitch to avoid an innings defeat. They had already lost the first Test by 63 runs, and a loss in this match would give Sri Lanka their first series win over New Zealand since 2009.
Jayasuriya is now on the verge of making cricket history. He is just six wickets away from equaling the record for the fastest to 100 Test wickets, a milestone set by England’s George Lohmann in 1896. Should Jayasuriya achieve this, it will mark one of the most significant individual feats in modern Test cricket.
