Right then, that is it from the intriguing first Test between these sides. Sri Lanka has secured a 1-0 lead in this Two Test series. The second test between these sides will be played on Thursday, the 26th of September. The game will begin at 4.30 am GMT. But as you all know, our build up begins much sooner so do join us for the same. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Dhananjaya de Silva, the skipper of Sri Lanka, says that win in England boosts their morale and the boys are delivering. States the stand between Chandimal and Karunaratne helped them a lot and it was one of the key factors of their win. Admits they need to improve and get more runs from the lower order. Says he enjoys captaining, he wasn’t going to bowl but he feels he has the ability to take wickets.
Tim Southee, the skipper of New Zealand, says that it was a good game, it’s a tough place to come but he’s happy for the way they fought. Credits the way William bowled and pips he’s got a great future. Adds they lost the last five wickets for not a lot in the first innings and that’s probably what cost them.
Prabath Jayasuriya is the Player of the Match. He says that he just does his best and sticks to the basics. Mentions he loves it here. Ends by saying that he just focuses on hitting the right lines and lengths.
Stay tuned for the Presentations...
In the final chase of 275, the New Zealand team demonstrated moments of resilience with several partnerships, though ultimately, their key batters were unable to score big. Ravindra showcased a commendable performance, but he lacked consistent support from his teammates. He was ultimately dismissed on 92. On the bowling front, Jayasuriya and Ramesh stood out, combining to claim eight wickets between them, which played a crucial role in securing a convincing victory for their side.
In the third innings, the experienced heads of Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews, demonstrated their experience and skill, contributing significantly to setting a competitive target of 275 runs for the visiting team. Although the hosts were in a strong position to extend their lead beyond the 300-run mark, the opposition bowler, Patel, displayed exceptional form, effectively dismantling both the lower and middle order of the Sri Lankan batting lineup. He picked up 6 wickets in the third inning.
In response, the New Zealand top order displayed a strong performance, initially suggesting that they would establish a significant lead. However, the Sri Lankan spinners effectively dismantled the middle and the lower order, resulting in New Zealand taking a very slender lead of 35 runs.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Sri Lanka's innings struggled to gain momentum early on, finding themselves in a precarious position at 106/4. However, Kamindu Mendis played a key role with his impressive ton. With valuable contributions from a few others, Mendis' efforts were instrumental in guiding the team past the 300-run mark, ultimately setting a competitive total.
A fine, fine win for the hosts and they have now taken an unassailable lead in this series. They were really made to fight hard for this victory right from the first day. Credit to New Zealand though as they fought till the last day but just missed the line.

OUT! PLUMB! A huge moment in the game as Rachin Ravindra departs! Quicker one, on middle, with some turn. Rachin Ravindra looks to block it but wears it on his pads. A loud appeal and after a long thought, the umpire raises his finger. Rachin Ravindra refers and Ball Tracking shows three reds. Rachin Ravindra has to depart! He deserved a century to be honest.
