Five wickets have fallen in just about 30 minutes this morning. Malinga and Murali were simply too much for the tailenders to handle. Sri Lanka win by an innings and 234 runs.
Muttiah Muralitharan is the Man of the Match for his haul of 9 for 102. No surprises there for it was his spell in the first innings that won the game for Sri Lanka. He's 26 away from Shane Warne's record for most Test wickets.
Thank you for tuning in to Cricinfo's coverage of the first Test. The second Test begins on July 3. Do join us for that. This is George Binoy signing off. Cheers.

Shahadat Hossain is the next man in. Will Malinga give him the yorker?
