New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test, Day 3 Highlights: Blair Tickner Takes 3 After Daryl Mitchell, Matt Henry Shine For NZ vs Sri Lanka

We are back for the run chase. The umpires and players make their way out to the middle. Devon Conway and Tom Latham will open the innings for New Zealand. Kasun Rajitha will start with the new ball for Sri Lanka. Let's play...

... FOURTH INNINGS ...

This has been a good fightback by New Zealand in the third session, bowling Sri Lanka out for 302. Having gone into the Tea Break with a lead of 233 runs, Sri Lanka were on course for a lead in excess of 300. However, they were rocked in the second over after Tea when Matt Henry struck to remove Angelo Mathews. Henry grew in confidence after that wicket and then accounted for Niroshan Dickwella and Kasun Rajitha in quick succession. Tim Southee brought himself back on to claim the final Sri Lankan wicket. As a result, New Zealand need 285 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. This is still a challenging total and Sri Lanka will fancy themselves to take a couple of wickets before the close of play. Will their bowlers succeed in doing so? We shall find out shortly. Back in a bit for the chase.

OUT! CAUGHT! Asitha Fernando gets in a real tangle here. Tim Southee bends his back hard now and serves a short ball, on off. It flies off the deck. Asitha Fernando bends his neck but keeps his bat way high. The ball catches the edge and flies towards Kane Williamson at gully, who takes a dolly there. Sri Lanka have been all out 302 runs.

OUT! RUN OUT! Matt Henry has done enough in the end to complete a run out with one hand. It is a short ball, on off. Dhananjaya de Silva comes down the track and lofts it down towards long off. Kane Williamson comes across. Dhananjaya de Silva calls for two runs. Kane Williamson is quick with his throw, but Matt Henry though does not collect the ball as he seems to be in some pain. Kane Williamson looks at it and is a bit frustrated. Although, luckily for Matt Henry, he is able to parry it on to the stumps. The third umpire goes through several times and eventually shows OUT on the big screen.

This is angled into the pads, on a length. Lahiru Kumara flicks it to the leg side.
