DIZZY DECLARES
Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie announces his retirement after 71 Tests and 259 wickets - and one memorable double century. Meanwhile, his former opponents Bangladesh are doing it tough against Seth Efrica.
UPDATE. Peter Roebuck attempts a cut shot:
Just for a moment it seemed that Jayasuriya might produce one last hurrah. It was not to be. Before long he was late on his shot, whereupon he trudged from the field looking about as happy as a News Corporation journalist.
In journalism as so often on the pitch, Pete picks the wrong line.
