Martin Guptill c Chandimal b Mathews 156 234 21 0 66.67

84.6

Mathews to Guptill, out Caught by Chandimal!! That'll be it from Guptill. End of a fantastic knock from the New Zealand opener and he gets a pat on the back from the Lankan fieldsmen. Mathews is a relieved man as he nips out the big fish. Has his arms aloft and jumps in joy. Coming to the dismissal: Pitched on a good length and seamed away late, Guptill poked with laden feet. Outside edge goes straight to the keeper who does the rest. Guptill c Chandimal b Mathews 156(234) [4s-21]

Tom Latham c & b Lakmal 22 46 3 0 47.83

15.6

Lakmal to Latham, out Caught&Bowled!! It's like cooking for a dinner date only to spill the food over when the guests arrive. Last one was a stylish flick, this one was a straight chip to the bowler who manages to pouch onto that somehow. Straighter than the previous delivery, Latham wanted to punch it past the bowler but ended up handing a hip-high catch to Lakmal in his new spell. Latham c and b Lakmal 22(46) [4s-3]

Kane Williamson c Karunaratne b N Pradeep 88 123 12 0 71.54

54.5

Pradeep to Williamson, out Caught by Karunaratne!! Oh! Williamson departs with just one ball to go before tea. He lets out the frustation as he blows out his unshaven cheeks in disappointment. A lapse in concentration? Certainly looked like. A rarity from one of the class players of current generation. But that is what Test match cricket is all about. One can never afford to be casual at any stage. Coming to the dismissal: Nipping away from a good length, Williamson has a waft. In an unlike Williamson fashion, he went with hard hands and outside edge nestles in the safe hands of a leaping Karunaratne at lone slip. Williamson c Karunaratne b Pradeep 88(123) [4s-12]

Ross Taylor lbw b N Pradeep 8 12 2 0 66.67

58.6

Pradeep to Ross Taylor, out Lbw!! And Taylor never looked settled. Got off the mark with a edgy boundary and could only manage a top-edge off the last ball pull. Pradeep was bringing the ball back in, Taylor had shuffled too far across his stumps to clip this. Missed and was rapped on the pads. Looked leg-sidish and would have clipped leg. Ross Taylor lbw b Pradeep 8(12) [4s-2]

Brendon McCullum (captain)c Kithuruwan Vithanage b M Siriwardana 75 57 13 1 131.58

73.3

Siriwardana to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Kithuruwan Vithanage!! Siriwardana has a knack of providing breakthroughs in his brief Test career and here he is picking up the important scalp in the form of New Zealand skipper. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are happy to see the back of Baz. End of an entertaining knock. This was pushed through quicker on leg-stump line, McCullum was a bit early on his slog-sweep. Ball strikes the top-edge and loops up straight to Vithanage who was stationed at deep backward square leg. Brendon McCullum c Kithuruwan Vithanage b Siriwardana 75(57) [4s-13 6s-1]

Mitchell Santner c Chandimal b Dushmantha Chameera 12 12 2 0 100.00

78.1

Dushmantha Chameera to Mitchell Santner, out Caught by Chandimal!! Got 'em. Dushmantha Chameera claims his first wicket in and against New Zealand. He has bowled with a lot of heart and finally gets rewarded. He pitched this one on a good length and made the ball to shape away late, enticing Santner to offer a stroke. Santner falls for the bait, gropes with laden feet and outside edge settles in the safe mitts of Dinesh Chandimal. Mitchell Santner c Chandimal b Dushmantha Chameera 12(12) [4s-2]

BJ Watling (wk)c Kithuruwan Vithanage b Dushmantha Chameera 5 8 1 0 62.50

80.1

Dushmantha Chameera to Watling, out Caught by Kithuruwan Vithanage!! Aaaaaaaaand he gets a wicket straightaway. Watling never looked comfortable at the crease and Chameera ticks off yet another in his wickets column. Chameera sprints in, hits the deck hard and extracts venomous bounce on this back of a length delivery. Watling was trying to ramp over backward point with a flat-bat. Couldn't get on top of the bounce and ends up feeding an outside edge to Vithanage (at backward point) who reverse-cups at head height. Watling c Kithuruwan Vithanage b Dushmantha Chameera 5(8) [4s-1]

Doug Bracewell lbw b N Pradeep 47 59 8 0 79.66

96.1

Pradeep to Doug Bracewell, out Lbw!! Up goes the finger and down goes Bracewell's head in disappointment. He puts his head down, digs the bat in with both hands and trudges back with a sorry face. Must have thought about his maiden fifty, poor lad! That's the way cricket is. Full inswinger from Pradeep and Bracewell was smidgen late on his flick. That's just enough to strike his front pad on middle and umpire Richard Kettleborough had no doubts on this one. Replays suggest: Bracewell wanted to review that one but Kettleborough indicated that there was some technical issue. Quite unusual but I reckon DRS might not have altered the onfield verdict. It was plumb IMO. Doug Bracewell lbw b Pradeep 47(59) [4s-8]

Tim Southee c M Siriwardana b Lakmal 2 2 0 0 100.00

87.2

Lakmal to Southee, out Caught by Siriwardana!! Edged and gone! As simple as that. Draws Southee forward by pitching it up. The late swing takes Southee's outside edge and goes low towards second slip. Siriwardana stoops low and pouches a well-judged catch. Southee c Siriwardana b Lakmal 2(2)

Neil Wagner c Udara Jayasundera b N Pradeep 7 22 0 1 31.82

94.6

Pradeep to Wagner, out Caught by Udara Jayasundera!! Wagner looked a bit itchy and his trying-to-wag-a-few innings has come to an end. It's his favourite stroke that brings his downfall. Short and rearing into the batsman. Wagner hangs back and goes for the hook. Gets a faint top-edge which flies straight down the throat of the debutant at long leg. Now, is that a trap? I think so. Wagner c Udara Jayasundera b Pradeep 7(22) [6s-1]

Dimuth Karunaratne c B Watling b Mitchell Santner 84 198 7 0 42.42

61.4

Mitchell Santner to Karunaratne, out Caught by Watling!! Against the run of play. A wicket. Karunaratne marches off 16 short of what would have been a well-deserved hundred. Coming to the dismissal: Short and wide, there to be slapped. Karunaratne goes deep inside the crease and was a bit late on the attempted cut. Ball feathers the cue end and nestles into the safe mitts of BJ Watling behind the stumps. Good reflexes from the keeper. New Zealand has got rid off the dangerman and this should get them going. Karunaratne c Watling b Mitchell Santner 84(198) [4s-7]

Kusal Mendis c B Watling b T Boult 8 19 1 0 42.11

8.6

Boult to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Watling!! It's the same delivery that Boult had been unintentionally bowling to Karunaratne. This time he deliberately bowls it to Mendis and reaps rewards. Angled across the batsman on a length, Mendis held his bat under his eyes in a perfect forward defence, more hoping that the ball evades the bat. Not to be and Sri Lanka lose their first. Kusal Mendis c Watling b Boult 8(1) [4s-1]

Udara Jayasundera c B Watling b N Wagner 1 6 0 0 16.67

12.5

Wagner to Udara Jayasundera, out Caught by Watling!! Wagner covers his mouth with the back of his palm and chuckles. This was a another trasher - short, wide and carrying the 'please hit me' tag. Jayasundera throws his bat at it, perhaps goes too hard to make up for the missed opportunity earlier. Gets a top-edge and Watling dives to his left and just about manages to latch onto that low catch. Udara Jayasundera c Watling b Wagner 1(6)

Dinesh Chandimal (wk)c M Guptill b Southee 83 209 9 0 39.71

81.2

Southee to Chandimal, out Caught by Guptill!! Aaaaand there's a wicket second ball. Southee strikes and for a change this wicket will read sans Watling's name. It's a brilliant effort from the gangly-Guptill at second slip. This good length delivery swung away late. Chandimal fiddles with open bat face. Ball finds the outside edge and flies to the left of Guptill who dives and plucks a beauty. Meanwhile, Chandimal falls 17 short of what could have been a tremendous hundred. Chandimal c Guptill b Southee 83(209) [4s-9]

Angelo Mathews (captain)c B Watling b Southee 2 10 0 0 20.00

64.6

Southee to Mathews, out Caught by Watling!! Mathews isn't happy but there definitely seems to be some bat on that. Is this the key wicket New Zealand were looking for? This one swung away late down leg, Mathews looks to flick. He could only mange a feather which flew to the left of Watling who dives across and clasps a screamer. Good catch that. New Zealand fielders appeal in unsion but Llong wasn't interested. Brendon though went up for a review straightaway. Mathews c Watling b Southee 2(10)

Kithuruwan Vithanage c B Watling b Southee 22 56 2 0 39.29

83.3

Southee to Kithuruwan Vithanage, out Caught by Watling!! Southee, Southee, Southee - you little ripper. He's so dangerous with the new ball, isn't he? Bowls a two poor deliveries and comes up with a bonzer next ball. Full and swinging away outside off. Coaxes Vithanage to go for the drive. Vithanage obliges and ends up nicking it to the keeper. Fifth catch for Watling and what a match he's having with the gloves. Dived low to his left and snaffled it around his chest. Kithuruwan Vithanage c Watling b Southee 22(56) [4s-2]

Milinda Siriwardana c Ross Taylor b N Wagner 35 60 5 1 58.33

101.5

Wagner to Siriwardana, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! And there he goes. The sustained short-ball peltering of the leg stump was modified a touch. Wagner shifted his line outside off, the ball climbed up a touch more. Siriwardana was looking to steer it to third man with an open bat face but the ball took the gloves, lobbed up to Taylor who took a chest-high catch at first slip. Siriwardana c Ross Taylor b Wagner 35(60) [4s-5 6s-1]

Rangana Herath c T Boult b N Wagner 15 74 1 0 20.27

109.3

Wagner to Herath, out Caught by Boult!! Trap! New Zealand have been trying this tactic since Herath's arrival at the crease and finally perseverance paid off. This bumper hurried Herath onto his pull stroke. He could only manage a top-edge which balloons towards fine leg. Trent Boult judges well, runs forward and takes a tumbling catch. Herath c Boult b Wagner 15(74) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera c Ross Taylor b T Boult 14 43 3 0 32.56

114.3

Boult to Dushmantha Chameera, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! Chameera's resistance comes to an end. Saw the width and flashed at it with hard hands, only to eke an outside edge to Ross Taylor who stoops low to take that. It was on a good length and swung away late from the right-hander to take the outside edge. Dushmantha Chameera c Ross Taylor b Boult 14(43) [4s-3]

Suranga Lakmal not out 18 27 3 0 66.67

Nuwan Pradeep c B Watling b Mitchell Santner 3 5 0 0 60.00

117.1

Mitchell Santner to Pradeep, out Caught by Watling!! Sixth dismissal for Watling and Santner gets his second. Sri Lankan innings comes to a close with an arrear of 137. Coming to the final wicket: It spun away from a length and kissed the faintest of edges off the forwrd defending Nuwan Pradeep. Sharp reflexes from Watling behind the stumps who snaffles sans any fuss. Pradeep c Watling b Mitchell Santner 3(5)

26.2

Herath to Guptill, out Bowled!! Hello! What happened there? 99 out of 100 times, any batsman could get out to that one. Sort of Nasser Hussain's dismissal against Carl Hooper (in West Indies - give it a google search please!). The only difference was Nasser was lbw and Guptill's bowled here. That's a shooter from Herath. Fired full and the ball kept so low that Guptill didn't even had the time to react. Makes room slightly and the ball sneaks under his bat to cling the stumps. It just skidded off the surface and baaaaaaang into middle and off. Guptill wears a bamboozled look on his face while the Lankan fielders rally around Herath. The groundsmen, in the background, too share a wry smile. Comical stuff against the run of play. Guptill b Herath 46(82) [4s-5 6s-1]

Kane Williamson b Dushmantha Chameera 71 115 7 0 61.74

58.4

Dushmantha Chameera to Williamson, out Bowled!! 'He's got through the defences of one of the best' lauds an ever-energetic Ian Smith on air. Aptly put. That's a ripper from Dushmantha Chameera and he will cherish that for a long, long time. Pitched on a good length and tailed back in sharply. Williamson was shaping up for the flick. Beaten by the late movement and the ball pegs the off-stump back via Williamson's back pad. Williamson b Dushmantha Chameera 71(115) [4s-7]

Ross Taylor b Herath 15 16 3 0 93.75

63.5

Herath to Ross Taylor, out Bowled!! Taylor has been Herath'd. And not for the first time. Used his feet looking for some quick runs. Herath, the wily bowler that he is, bowls the slider, gets through the truck-wide bat pad as Taylor looked to flick and castles him. Let the BMac Show begin. Ross Taylor b Herath 15(16) [4s-3]

26.2

Southee to Karunaratne, out Caught by Watling!! Watling makes amends for the previous drop and finally New Zealand get their first wicket. This one was banged in short and Southee generated vicious bounce outside off. Karunaratne, who has been so patient so far, looks to late-cut it over the keeper. Ball pings the outside edge and travels at head high to the short-of-stature Watling who snaffles it with no discomfort. Karunaratne c Watling b Southee 29(72) [4s-1]

Kusal Mendis c B Watling b Southee 46 150 5 0 30.67

50.1

Southee to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Watling!! That takes Watling to most dismissals by a NZ wicket-keeper in a Test match. The ball was full and moved away ever so slightly, Mendis eked out an outside edge and the keeper dived to his right and managed to hold the ball just inches above the ground. What a way to bring up that record! Kusal Mendis c Watling b Southee 46(150) [4s-5]

Udara Jayasundera c B Watling b N Wagner 3 15 0 0 20.00

32.3

Wagner to Udara Jayasundera, out Caught by Watling!! Not a great debut for Udara Jayasundera. He could only manage a combined score of 4 in his first Test innings. Jittery times? This was short and down leg, Jayasundera decides to pull and then makes a let decision to let the ball go. Ball just kisses the glove on its way before it nestled in the safe mitts of Watling behind the stumps. Udara Jayasundera c Watling b Wagner 3(15)

Dinesh Chandimal (wk)lbw b Mitchell Santner 58 132 11 0 43.94

73.1

Mitchell Santner to Chandimal, out Lbw!! Oh, what a moment in this match! This wicket's more crucial than Mathew's, I tell you. Is this the death knell? A moment of indecision it was for Chandimal. The ball was tossed up and didn't turn. Just arrowed in with the arm. Chandimal shouldered arms and was struck right in front. Given out on the field, Chandimal reviewed only for the decision to be upheld. Chandimal lbw b Mitchell Santner 58(132) [4s-11]

Angelo Mathews (captain) b N Wagner 25 61 3 0 40.98

70.3

Wagner to Mathews, out Bowled!! That was a beautifully planned out dismissal and Wagner punches the air in delight. Roars! Two short deliveries later, Mathews was expecting another one but Wagner bowled it full on middle. Mathews was surprised, the ball took the left pad and nutmegged him to take the middle pole down. Mathews b Wagner 25(61) [4s-3]

Southee to Kithuruwan Vithanage, out Lbw!! The new ball doing its bit. Southee bowled it from over the wicket, the ball swung in and hit Vithanage dead in front. Given out after a longish appeal. Vithanage reviewed but the onfield decision stayed as the ball would have hit the top of middle. Kithuruwan Vithanage lbw b Southee 38(38) [4s-6 6s-1]

Coming to the dismissal: Full and inviting the big, booming drive from Siriwardana. He acknowledges and strokes it straight down the throat of New Zealand skipper.

86.2

Boult to Herath, out Caught by Guptill!! Nicked and gone! No Ranagana-resistance in the second innings. Soft, soft dismissal. Pacy full delivery that tailed away late, Herath went for the bait. Drives with cemented feet and ekes out a thick outside edge which travels low to the right of Martin Guptill at second slip. Guptill takes it at ankle height with both hands. Great balance and well-judged catch. Herath c Guptill b Boult 6(15) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera b Mitchell Santner 14 13 3 0 107.69

92.1

Mitchell Santner to Dushmantha Chameera, out Bowled!! Knocked 'em over. Dushmantha Chameera departs for the swing-and-miss score he made in the first innings - also his highest in Test match cricket. Floated up invitingly outside off, Chameera gets down on one knee and attempts an agricultural hoick, beaten by the late turn and his middle-stump takes the beating. You miss, I hit.

Doug Bracewell to Lakmal, out Caught&Bowled!! That's it. Double bluff from Doug Bracewell. He now sends a yorker around middle and leg, Lakmal was late to dig it. Ball catches the splice and lobs straight to Bracewell who accepts it gleefully. New Zealand go 1-0 up in the series and this is also their 50th Test match win at home. 83rd win overall in Test match cricket for New Zealand. Lakmal c and b Doug Bracewell 23(27) [4s-4]
