Kusal Mendis has shown his Sri Lankan teammates how it's done.
Only an absence of batting partners denied the tenacious No.7 an 11th Test century on the morning of the second day in the series finale against Australia.
He was stranded on 85 runs from 139 balls when No.11 Lahiru Kumara edged to the slips from Matt Kuhnemann, ending the hosts' innings on 257 early on day two.
