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