Managed to fight his way up to 5 in the order.

Looks like a great toss to win.

Will Mendis become the fastest player to 1000 test runs, if he gets there?

In terms of innings, he equals the Don but is one behind Weekes and Sutcliffe.

Would be the fastest Asian batter apparently, but 2 innings away from Sutcliffe's record. He only needs 2 runs in this or his next innings to equal Kambli.

Apparently he is the quickest to 5 centuries....

After a win in England, and putting NZ to the sword, SL cricket is currently screaming from the rafters.... give us more worthwhile test cricket against proper opponents.

Wonder if there's a record for the most overs bowled by a side before using a fourth bowler.

Plus the second innings... though it's easy to imagine India might have got through a whole Test with only three bowlers.

Good to see NZ digging in.
