Breaking a record that stood for seven decades, Sri Lanka's left-arm orthodox spinner Prabath Jayasuriya entered his name in history books by becoming the fastest spinner to take 50 wickets in Test cricket.
On the fifth day of the second Test against Ireland in Galle, Jayasuriya dismissed Paul Stirling (1) to reach the milestone in his seventh Test, breaking the record of West Indian great Alf Valentine, who reached the mark in eight Tests.
