It was day to savour for the Sri Lankans and a magical sunset provided the perfect backdrop in which the celebrations continued during the luncheon interval. By the time Sanath Jayasuriya and Marvan Atapattu walked in to face Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie, the lights had been turned on. Australia needed both their wickets and fast. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, needed the duo to make a good start to snuff out any remnants of hope that the Australians might have had.
