Sangakkara heads world rankings

Kumar Sangakkara has become the first Sri Lankan to top the Test batting rankings after inspiring them to victory over England in the Kandy Test.

He has unseated Ricky Ponting from the top of the list after scores of 92 and 152 - and is the first man to score 150 plus in four successive Tests.

The 30-year-old is now also joint sixth in the all-time batting rankings.

And to complete a Sri Lankan double, world record wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan tops the bowling rankings.
