WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews compiled centuries and batted throughout the fourth day in an unbeaten 246-run partnership as Sri Lanka reduced the deficit against New Zealand in the first test on Tuesday. Mendis finished the day 116 not out, Mathews was 117 not out, and Sri Lanka was 259-3, having erased all but 37 runs of a 296-run deficit. Sri Lanka's first-innings total was 282, and New Zealand made 578 in reply. The twin centuries contributed to Sri Lanka's highest-ever fourth-wicket partnership against New Zealand, beating the previous best of 192, and were a coming of age for one player, and a redemption for the other. Mendis batted 287 minutes and faced 215 balls for his sixth test century which included 12 fours; Mathews took 342 minutes and needed 248 balls to reach his ninth with 11 fours. By stumps, the pair had shunted back the threat of defeat which seemed imminent at the start of play when Sri Lanka was 20-3. While the tourists still face a final day on which a minimum of 90 overs have to be bowled, giving New Zealand some hope yet of taking a 1-0 lead in the two-test series, the achievements of Mendis and Mathews on the fourth day have left the match more closely in the balance. The strong possibility of rain on Wednesday may further play into Sri Lanka's hands and frustrate the home side. The 23-year-old Mendis has long been one of Sri Lanka's brightest batting prospects.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Renck vs. Keeler: Which new Broncos QB will start in Week 1: Bo Nix or Zach Wilson?
    Denver Post, Monday - 04/29/2024 - 01:57 PM

    Sean Keeler: It took about 16 seconds for the Bo Nix haters to come crashing through the front door of Dove Valley like it was a Black Friday. The fumes have barely faded on the 2024 draft, and at least one major betting service on Monday listed the Broncos’ latest franchise QB lottery ticket as its heavy favorite to be “most likely rookie QB to be benched first.” Which presumes, of course, that he’s the Broncos’ starter right out of the gate.

On Sunday, three recruits who visited the Boulder campus this weekend announced their verbal commitments to the Buffs, including brothers Brandon and Colton Hood and offensive line transfer Zack Owens from Clemson. All three were once teammates at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Ga., and now will be teammates at CU, where they’ll play for head coach Deion Sanders. Colton Hood is a cornerback who will join the Buffs as a transfer from Auburn.
