Sri Lanka vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 2 Highlights: Kamindu Mendis' Unbeaten 182 Puts Sri Lanka In Command vs New Zealand

We are back for New Zealand's second innings! The players and the umpires are out in the middle. Devon Conway and Tom Latham are the two openers for the New Zealand. Nishan Peiris to start with the ball. Let's go...

... THIRD INNINGS ...

The news is that the follow-on has been enforced by Dhananjaya de Silva! They will look to challenge the New Zealand batters once again without allowing them a break. The Kiwi batters will need to brace themselves now for another demanding session as they face a relentless spin challenge on a surface likely to deteriorate further. Stay tuned...

Trailing by a staggering 514 runs, New Zealand's performance will be a cause for concern as they failed to build any significant partnerships or withstand the onslaught from the opposition. Prabath Jayasuriya emerged as the standout performer, claiming 6 wickets, 5 of those catches were taken by Dhananjaya de Silva! Support came from Nishan Peiris, who took 3 wickets, while Asitha Fernando contributed with 1 wicket.

What a display of bowling prowess this was from the Lankan bowlers! They have decisively outclassed the New Zealand batting lineup, dismissing them for a mere 88 runs. New Zealand commenced the session at 22 for 2 but faced a swift collapse, being bowled out within the same session, a testament to the Sri Lankan bowlers' relentless pressure and precision. Only 3 of the New Zealand batters managed to score in double digits and Mitchell Santner with 29 was their top scorer.
