A cricket video for Cricket World TV about the latest cricket news from http://www.cricketworld.com. Find us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/cricketworld and Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/cricket_world as we discuss Sri Lanka beating Pakistan by 209 runs in the first Test match in Galle.
Pakistan were set a record score of 510 to win but were bowled out for 300 despite a valiant effort on the final day and it was Sri Lanka who produced a record. Never before had they beaten Pakistan by so many runs in a Test and they did so having dominated the game throughout.
Kumar Sangakkara batting hit 199 not out in Sri Lanka's first innings, Tillakaratne Dilshan scored a century and a half-century while Suraj Randiv picked up seven wickets in the match.
Pakistan never recovered from being dismissed for 100 in reply to 472, meaning half-centuries on the final day from Younus Khan and Asad Shafiq were in vain.
The second Test in Colombo begins on 30th June.
