Asitha Fernando produced a sensational delivery to castle Ollie Pope on Day 2 of the England vs Sri Lanka 1st Test in Manchester on August 22. The delivery was slightly back of a length, beating the England captain's bat en route to hitting the top of the off-stump. The right-hander had no clue about the ball and it was the second wicket England lost on the second day. Pope, named captain for the series against Sri Lanka with Ben Stokes out injured, could only score six runs, including one boundary. Sri Lanka Debutant Milan Rathnayake Breaks 41-Year-Old Record, Achieves Feat in ENG vs SL 1st Test 2024.
