First Test, South Africa vs Sri Lanka, Colombo 2006
Sri Lanka beat South AfricaJuly 31, 2006
Muttiah Muralitharan claimed match figures of 10-172 as Sri Lanka completed victory over South Africa by an innings and 153 runs in Colombo.
The tourists began the final day with six wickets in hand, hoping to bat out three sessions to save the match.
But Muralitharan dismissed Ashwell Prince and Herschelle Gibbs before lunch, before taking two more wickets immediately after the interval.
The match will be famous for the biggest stand in first-class cricket.
Mahela Jayawardene (374) and Kumar Sangakkara (287) hit 624 in a partnership that straddled the end of the first day, the whole of the second, and half of the third.
It was also only the third Test win by a Sri Lankan side against South Africa, who were finally all out for 434 some 45 minutes before tea.

Openers Jacques Rudolph and Andrew Hall (64) put on 165, before Dilhara Fernando and Muttiah Muralitharan - with two lbws - each struck twice.
Skipper Ashwell Prince is still there on 60 not out, and has added 77 with wicket-keeper Mark Boucher (38no).
South Africa, still 276 runs adrift, effectively have to bat out the last day to survive, after Saturday's marathon stand between Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara.

The skipper continued, but one short of Lara's second highest score of 375 and six behind Matthew Hayden's 380, he was bowled by one that kept a touch low.
Sri Lanka declared on 756-6, with South Africa closing 544 adrift at 43-0.
