1st Test, Galle, September 18 – 23, 2024, New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka (Ramesh Mendis 14*, Prabath Jayasuriya 0*, Mitchell Santner 0/64, SL vs NZ live score, 1st Test, day 1, Galle International Stadium, September 18 – 23, 2024

massive turn out of the rough, and that was probably the only way the Kiwis could have dismissed Kamindu Mendis! Fizzed in on a back of a length outside off. Takes a good chunk of the footmarks and explodes off the surface. Sharp spin into Kamindu, coupled with extravagant bounce. Kamindu, shaping for the cut, only manages a glove that spoons up for Mitchell to snaffle. A remarkable innings comes to an end, and the dressing room stands up to applaud Kamindu as he makes his way back!
