Ramesh Mendis was virtually dropped for the second Test after an unimpressive bowling effort final week. He’s bounced again effectively. Pitch nonetheless good for batting. Sri Lanka have bowled rather well to take seven wickets. Mendis gutsy cricketer. Gun fielder and all the time chips in with bat. pic.twitter.com/kvMIDZT2o6
