Rangana Herath bowled Sri Lanka to a stunning 21-run win over Pakistan on Monday, snaring six wickets on the last day of the series-opening Test and becoming the first left-arm spinner to claim 400 wickets in cricket's traditional format.
The 39-year-old orthodox spinner snared 6-41 in the second innings - giving him 11 for the match - as Sri Lanka defended its meager 135-run advantage on a dramatic day when 16 wickets tumbled in three sessions.
Sri Lanka resumed at 69-4 and lost its last six wickets for the addition of 69 runs on the last morning to be bowled out for 138, setting Pakistan a target of 136 for victory.
