Kumar Sangakkara makes history in Sri Lanka win over Scotland

BBC Sport looks at how Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara made history in Sri Lanka's 148-run win over Scotland in their World Cup Pool A game in Hobart, Australia.

Sangakkara scored 124 and became the first batsman to score centuries in four consecutive one-day internationals.

The left-hander, who is likely to retire from ODI cricket at the end of the competition, now has five World Cup centuries to his name, one behind the record of six held by India's Sachin Tendulkar.
