SL vs NZ 2nd Test: Dinesh Chandimal & Kamindu Mendis headline Day 1

Sri Lanka and New Zealand are placed 3rd and 4th in the WTC standings having played 8 and 9 matches respectively.

SL vs NZ 2nd Test, LIVE Score: A strong day for Sri Lanka as they ended Day 1 with a superb score of 306/3. Sri Lanka dominated the first session. Despite losing Pathum Nissanka in the first over, the hosts have had a great start. Dimuth Karunaratne and Dinesh Chandimal put on a 122-run stand and were 102/1 at Lunch. However, Karunaratne didn’t last that long despite being given two chances, as he was run out embarrassingly on 46. The man in form Kamindu Mendis then came up with another milestone, hitting his eighth consecutive fifty in Tests. Currently Angelo Mathews (78) and Mendis (51) are unbeaten at the crease.
