2001 Sri Lanka vs England, 1st Test at Galle.
At Galle, February 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. Sri Lanka won by an innings and 28 runs. Toss: Sri Lanka.
In a steaming cauldron of bad temper, Sri Lanka winkled out a browbeaten England to win by an innings soon after lunch on the final day. The game will be remembered for the nonhomie between the teams, incompetent umpiring and a broken window in the English dressing-room; referee Hanumant Singh handed down penalties to five players afterwards. It was a sad reflection on a match that coincided with the death of Sir Donald Bradman. Sad too because, between the lines, lurked achievement from Trescothick, dogged persistence from Atapattu, perseverance from England's seam attack and eight wickets for Jayasuriya.
The initial danger seemed to come from Jayasuriya, who blasted off with three peerless fours in 20 minutes. But after he fell, suckered by Gough and nimbly caught by White at gully, the real enemy revealed her hand. The clouds lifted and the heat kicked in, intense, sticky, wearing heat which only intensified. By the end of the day, the bowlers - despite wearing cravats impregnated with ice - had each lost more than three kilograms. Atapattu didn't make it any easier: with judicious stroke after judicious stroke he ground England down. The entertainment came largely from 23-year-old batsman-keeper Sangakkara and from de Silva, who sparkled at the other end.
It was only Trescothick's seventh Test, but he played with the ease of a man with deep reservoirs of confidence. He was beaten by Murali more than once, but he just carried on, sweeping him when he could - he was the one English batsman to hit him over the boundary - and, to the admiration of the Sri Lankans, getting right forward to smother the spin. His first Test century was only his eighth in first-class cricket, and his opening partner, Atherton, said "he made the rest of us look like fools". England's five other specialist batsmen managed just 67, though Stewart, lbw to a ball that pitched outside leg stump, and Hick, caught by Sangakkara off one he never hit, were unlucky. The visibly disgruntled Hick later received a suspended one-match ban. Trescothick fell in the second over of the fourth day, and was back at the crease barely 45 minutes later after England had lost five for 47, disorientated by sharp Sri Lankan fielding, bowling and squawking.
