Mahela Jayawardene smashed the fourth-highest score of 374 and shared a world record stand of 624 with Kumar Sangakkara as Sri Lanka battered South Africa in the first Test in Colombo in July 2006.

The batting feast at the Sinhalese sports club saw Sri Lanka pile up a mammoth 756-5 declared in reply to South Africa’s modest 169 to gain a match-winning lead of 587 runs. The third-wicket pair surpassed the previous best of 576 for the second wicket by fellow Sri Lankans Sanath Jayasuriya and Roshan Mahanama against India at the Premadasa stadium here in 1997.

Left-handed Sangakkara fell for 287, caught behind chasing a wide ball from Andrew Hall, but Jayawardene batted on to surpass Jayasuriya’s Sri Lankan record of 340. Jayawardene crossed West Indian Garfield Sobers’ 365 not out and was one run away from equalling Brian Lara’s 375 against England in 1994 when he was bowled by an express Andre Nel delivery.
