Murali reaches 700 Test wickets
SRI Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan has become the second bowler after Australia's Shane Warne to capture 700 Test wickets.
The off spinner reached the landmark when he had Bangladesh's last man Syed Rasel caught in the deep by Farveez Maharoof on the fourth day of the third and final Test at the Asgiriya stadium in Kandy.
The dismissal signalled Sri Lanka's victory by an innings and 193 runs to give the host a 3-0 sweep of the series.
Muralitharan finished with six wickets in each innings to claim 10 wickets or more in a Test for the 20th time.
Muralitharan, 35, is now just nine wickets away from surpassing the retired Warne's world record tally of 708.
