What an innings by Sangakkara btw. Hats off. Excellent batting (where he showed an abundance of technical ability and intelligence) aside, he also kept Priyanjal alive by constantly talking to and leading him (somethinh I wish Mushfiq would have done with his new partners). Had he not done so, Priyanjal would have been out a long time ago (ditto if Nasir had taken the catch), and Sri Lanka wouldn't have scored anywhere near 289. Sangakkara's innings was worth much more than 128 runs off of 115 balls even though that's impressive in and of itself.
