ALL OVER, flighted again, on line, Monty goes down on the one knee to play the sweep, beats the bat, not the pad, appeals all round, Hair agrees, and that is that.

Full commentary
What an effort from Sri Lanka and Muralitharan, at the start of the day they would thought that they were in with a chance, but quick wickets and an 84-run partnership at the top of the innings may have raised some doubts. That was until Murali struck. 8 for 70 he finished with, and was the hero of the final innings. A shared series when all seemed to be lost, a great come back and shows a team of a lot of courage. Well played Sri Lanka!
We thank you for your attendance and hope that you will be back for future Tests.
Arun will be with you in a few moments with some facts and figures about this Test match.
From Keith and Gautham, thanks and goodnight!
Thanks Keith, its time for some statistics again - and what better than some numbers about Muralitharan. 8 for 70 - that was Murali's return in England's second innings - at one point of time, before Kapugedera scored a direct hit to run out Hoggard, Muralitharan had a chance of getting a perfect 10 - a feat only Jim Laker and Anil Kumble have achieved in test history previously.
Cricinfo Stat fact: Muralitharan's 8 for 70 is the best ever bowling performance at the Trent Bridge, Nottingham. He betters the performance of .... surprise.. surprise .. another spinner .. the legendary Bernard Bosanquet .. who used his leg breaks and googlies to good effect - they fetched him 8 wickets for 107 runs against Australia in 1905.
Murali's performance today, apart from being the best bowling performance by any kind of bowler at Trent Bridge, also wins him the Man-of-the-Match award.
We hope you have enjoyed following this test match, and indeed the entire series here on www.cricinfo.com.
We look forward to your company in times to come.
A word before we wind up, Kevin Pietersen and Muthiah Muralitharan have been chosen as the Players of the Series by Tom Moody and Duncan Fletcher respectively.
Have a good day, Cheers and see you soon!
