The ball was floated in towards middle and off stump, spuns and clipped the top of off stump. Sarkar thought he's been given caught behind and asked to it, before realising what had actually happened.

The match saw Sri Lanka`s Rangana Herath became the most successful left-arm spinner in test cricket on Saturday, claiming six for 59 to bowl his team to an emphatic 259-run victory against Bangladesh in the first test at the Galle International Stadium.

Leading the side in the absence of injured regular skipper Angelo Mathews, Herath mowed down the Bangladesh middle and lower order as the tourists, chasing a mammoth 457-run victory target, collapsed for 197 an hour after the lunch break.
