Sangakkara scores 10,000th run in Test cricket


MELBOURNE: Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara scored his 10,000th Test run and Australia paceman Jackson Bird secured his first wicket in his maiden Test as Australia took three first-session wickets on Wednesday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
After winning the toss, Sri Lanka was 79-3 at lunch on the first day of the second test, with Sangakkara not out 43 and Thilan Samaraweera unbeaten on 10.

Sangakkara's cover-drive boundary just before lunch made him only the 11th batsman and the second Sri Lankan to score 10,000 test runs.
He averages more than 55 runs in a career spanning 115 tests. He reached the 10,000 mark in 195 innings, equaling the record previously shared by Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar tops the test run scorers’ list with 15,645.
The only other Sri Lankan to have made more than 10,000 test runs, current skipper Mahela Jayawardene, was dismissed for three on Wednesday.
