00:00A warm welcome to Gaul, it's day 2 of this second test match Sri Lanka vs New Zealand
00:25306 for 3, Dinesh Chandimal was absolutely magnificent, 16th half century, Angelo Matthews
00:31and Kamidu Mendis out there, another partnership in store for Sri Lanka.
00:37Let's take a look at the New Zealand bowling, well they tried hard, they did get a run out,
00:40Dimitra Karunarathna, but Saudi was good, he got a wicket in the first over, and then
00:44of course we did see Phillips getting a wicket, but the rest of the bowling, they tried hard,
00:48but I'm afraid, so far, no joy at all.
00:52So that is the story, as we are ready to start day 2 at the Gaul International Stadium.
01:23That's it, front of square, hit well, hit for 4.
01:31Yes!
01:33Oh, it shall be taken, that's what they were bowling for.
01:37Tanuja had the silver to the crease, healthy average.
01:42Oi!
01:45Yeah, he's been very good, hasn't he?
01:50Down the wicket.
01:53Gone all the way for sick.
01:57Oh, very nearly again, repeated it.
02:03This time a bit too full and he latches on to it.
02:08That's the boundary.
02:14Oh, he's not going to hold back.
02:16He picked the line very early.
02:19Lovely, lovely, played that on line.
02:26A little bit aerial, but nicely fouled.
02:32There's that reverse sweep, he's hit it well.
02:38Oh, top edge, top edge.
02:41Taken, he gets another.
02:44On the stroke of lunch.
02:46He was conscious of not driving from that area.
02:50On this occasion, he's got that top edge.
02:53Glenn Phillips loaded up again, 82 k's.
02:56Kusal Mendis had a half century in that last game, batting at number 7.
03:03Three balls still to be completed, but back to my question to you.
03:08What do you think Sri Lanka's plan would be?
03:10What do you think Sri Lanka's plan would be?
03:16That's easy and very well done.
03:19His fifth hundred in Test cricket, his second in the series.
03:23And Kamadhu Mendis continues to enjoy himself.
03:27That's his record.
03:31To number 5, Kusal Mendis gets to the act.
03:35Most weighty ball this time.
03:40The sweep.
03:42Maybe a bit of drift will find the boundary.
03:48Oh, it's the second time.
03:51He is mis-dumping.
03:57Oh, given, given.
04:00Original decision not out.
04:03Pitching outside home, impact outside.
04:06Michael, reverse your original out decision.
04:08You're on screen.
04:10Not the first time his decision has been overturned.
04:16Good hit.
04:18That was wider.
04:20Midoff was up on the...
04:25Good hit, good hit.
04:27Won't worry anyone at all because it's gone all the way.
04:32Now this time, Kusal Mendis.
04:34It's a safe option because Midoff and Midon saving one.
04:39Short delivery.
04:43Became a fairly easy option and a free hit.
04:48Catch it. Oh, that's...
04:50Hit hard, really hard.
04:55What about this?
04:57Has it gone the distance?
05:03That will get him closer.
05:05Probably will be half century to Kusal Mendis.
05:10Again, in the slot.
05:13With the win, goes the distance.
05:17Oh, that's a good one.
05:20What about that?
05:24Driven.
05:26It's Antwitt.
05:295-3-7 for five.
05:35Short delivery.
05:38Should be caught up.
05:40Is it?
05:44And wait.
05:47Sri Lanka.
05:49Do whatever they want to do.
05:51150 for Kusal Mendis.
05:54Of course, this is his fifth Test 100.
05:59Beautifully played down the ground.
06:01Kane Williamson at long on it.
06:05Nice.
06:07Picks it up, picks it up.
06:09And he times it to perfection.
06:12Teases Patel.
06:16He does.
06:18He gets to his tenth Test 100 with a six.
06:24Takes the aerial route.
06:26And that was the moment the captain was waiting for.
06:29182.
06:31A couple of more centuries in this.
06:33Chandimal and Kusal Mendis.
06:37Tremendous.
06:39300-run partnerships.
06:41One of 200.
06:43Absolutely phenomenal from Sri Lanka.
06:45New Zealand?
06:47Well, Glenn Phillips was the only bowler who was able to really get in and out south of the only other wicket.
06:53Well, these backers, they've got an uphill task.
06:57And he'll be bowling to Tom Latham.
07:00An able batsman.
07:02His partner at the other end is Devin Conway.
07:05He's got a good record.
07:07Yeah, Sita Fernando.
07:09Impressed many in the last tour of England.
07:12Where he really bowled well.
07:14Picked up a few wickets.
07:16Oh, bit of shape in the air.
07:19Too much angle with that delivery.
07:22This one swung big.
07:24And late.
07:25Missing by a mile.
07:27Good signs.
07:29Good signs and good shape early.
07:35Got him!
07:38Not the start New Zealand was looking for.
07:42A very capable batsman.
07:44Kane Williamson is out there.
07:51He's getting the ball to shape away.
07:54Edged.
07:58No damage done.
08:00Came out a fraction full.
08:02Late decision to play.
08:04He was looking to leave initially.
08:06Had to drop the bat on it.
08:10Sean Pearis.
08:12Well, thought of very highly.
08:15As a young spinner.
08:20What about that?
08:21What about that?
08:23What about that?
08:25It's been given.
08:27Referred straight away.
08:29Keep rolling.
08:31Yeah.
08:33Can you roll back?
08:35Can you roll back?
08:37Now roll forward.
08:39And freeze.
08:41Yeah, there is a spike when ball is next to the bat.
08:43Yeah.
08:45Can you roll back?
08:47Now roll forward.
08:49I can see fingers under the ball.
08:51The catch is taken cleanly.
08:54So, can you go back on field please?
08:58There is a bat involved and catch is taken cleanly.
09:01So, you can raise your finger please.
09:07Looking at that replay.
09:09Pretty sure that will be one of the talking points.
09:14Rock solid.
09:22Stamcities.
09:2422 for 2 New Zealand.
09:26But it was all about the Sri Lankan batting after winning the toss.
09:29182 not out.
09:31Kamindu Mendis.
09:33You just mentioned the records that he has achieved there.
09:36Chandimal 116.
09:38He was out yesterday.
09:40Kusal Mendis.
09:42106 not out for stars.
09:44New Zealand, lot of work to do.
