Prabath Jayasuriya's "Ball of the Century" Stuns England

Sri Lanka's Prabath Jayasuriya has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world with a delivery that has drawn comparisons to Shane Warne's iconic "Ball of the Century." On Day 2 of the first Test against England at Old Trafford, Jayasuriya dismissed Harry Brook with a stunning delivery that left the batter bamboozled.

The ball, which pitched around middle and leg stump, turned sharply to crash into the off-stump. Brook, who was batting at 56, was completely stunned by the delivery, which sparked memories of Warne's magical delivery to Mike Gatting in 1993.

The video of the dismissal went viral on social media, with fans and experts alike praising Jayasuriya's skill. The delivery has been hailed as one of the best of the year and has reignited the debate about whether Jayasuriya can become a world-class spinner.

In the match, England eventually secured a five-wicket victory, thanks to a gritty unbeaten 62 from Joe Root. However, it was Jayasuriya's delivery that stole the show and left a lasting impression on the cricketing world.

Jayasuriya's performance is a testament to the resilience of the Sri Lankan team, who fought back from a disastrous start to push England to the brink of defeat. The spinner's ability to turn the ball sharply and accurately will be a major asset for Sri Lanka in the remaining two Tests of the series.
