The left-hander made 101 against Northamptonshire on day 2 as the match was washed out on the first day of the four-day Test match. This was Sangakkara's third ton this month after having previously scored 166 against Nottinghamshire and 118 against Lancashire.


Sangakkara hit a solitary six and 13 fours and shared half-century stands with Steven Davies (21) and English international Jason Roy (32).


He was eventually caught behind off Rob Keogh (2-115). Meanwhile, Sam Curran saw Surrey score a good looking 378-8 at stumps with an unbeaten 52.


Sangakkara who retired from international Test cricket last month against India, has contributed to Surrey's fortunes. The Sri Lankan had already amassed big scores on a regular basis and has played a pivotal role in Surrey's success making fans believe he still has it in him to play cricket for few seasons more.
