Sri Lanka vs New Zealand 2nd Test Day 2 LIVE Score and Updates: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second day’s play of the ongoing 2nd Test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, which is taking place at the Galle International Stadium.
On Thursday, Dinesh Chandimal’s century in Galle powered Sri Lanka to 306-3 at stumps Day 1.
The left-hander was bowled by Glenn Phillips in the final session after hitting 15 boundaries in his knock of 116 — his sixth Test century at the picturesque venue and his 16th overall.
Angelo Mathews (78) and Kamindu Mendis (51) will resume for the hosts on the second day.
It was a world record eighth consecutive fifty for Kamindu since the 25-year-old’s debut against Australia at the same venue two years ago.
Mathews reached his own milestone by becoming only the sixth cricketer to make 2,000 Test runs at a single venue, in his case on the notoriously bowler-friendly Galle pitch, joining a select group that includes the likes of Joe Root and Graham Gooch.
Chandimal made his ton with a single off Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner in a knock that capitalised on loose deliveries.
He powered forward after the end of his 122-run stand with Dimuth Karunaratne, who was run out on 46 and walked back to the pavilion fuming after a miscommunication between the pair.
New Zealand missed two opportunities to break the partnership earlier and failed to halt Sri Lanka’s momentum throughout the day.
Daryl Mitchell, fielding at slip, dropped two catches including a chance to get Chandimal out on five in the fourth over.
Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell missed a stumping opportunity off Karunaratne.
Sri Lanka won the opening match of the two-Test series by 63 runs. New Zealand have not won any of their five previous Tests at Galle.
New Zealand players wore black armbands to honour the late Ian Taylor, who was the manager of the Black Caps from 1980 to 1990.
