Chittagong: Veteran Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara has created a new cricket record by becoming the fastest batsman to reach 11,000 runs in terms of innings played after scoring a maiden triple hundred with a flurry of boundaries on the second day of the second Test against Bangladesh on Wednesday.

The tourists, who won the first Test by an innings and 248 runs in Dhaka last week, took their overnight score of 314-5 to 587 post-lunch on the second day at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium.
