It was always going to take something special to dismiss Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara as he plundered a double century against New Zealand at the basin Reserve in Wellington yesterday.

On 203, Sangakkara cut a rank long-hop from seamer James Neesham in Boult's direction at point. Boult leapt acrobatically and snatched the ball to take another one of those screamers he has become renowned for. As if his world class wing bowling wasn't enough.
