1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Just simple seam bowling from Tim Southee and Pathum Nissanka has nicked off yet again. Southee floats the ball up on off stump at a gentle pace and gets it to nip away, sharply as well. Nissanka is halfway forward and pushes at it but the ball catches the outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. Tom Blundell takes a simple catch to his right and Sri Lanka are 2/1 at the end of the first over.  2/1

39.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Catastrophic for Sri Lanka and Dimuth Karunaratne will be livid while walking off the field. Mitchell Santner tosses the ball up on middle, Karunaratne comes forward and flicks it wide of Glenn Phillips at mid-wicket and starts to run. Dinesh Chandimal is caught ball-watching and Karunaratne has to scurry back while almost being at the bowler's end. Phillips makes a fine stop but his throw at the keeper's end is a weak one. Thankfully for New Zealand, Tom Latham is at short leg and he picks up the ball before flicking it back onto the stumps. The stand of 122 runs is broken as Karunaratne departs for 46.  124/2

72.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! That was the breakthrough New Zealand was looking for and Glenn Phillips snags one at a crucial time! GP pushes it through but drags his length a bit as he sees Chandimal skipping down the track. The ball lands around off and turns in degrees at the off stump. Dinesh Chandimal gets a bit cramped up for room and loses his shape as well as he tries to hit it too hard with the turn. Misses to connect and the ball shatters the pegs. Sri Lanka 3 men down now as Dinesh Chandimal departs on 116 (208). Glenn Phillips breaks the 97-run partnership for the third wicket.  221/3

96.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Glenn Phillips looked like conjuring up something and he has got the big wicket here. Phillips just slows it up a touch and floats it wide of the off side and into the rough. Angelo Mathews gets down on one knee and strides across looking to take on the sweep shot but that bit of extra bounce means the top edge is found. The ball lobs up around the backward square leg region where William O'Rourke takes a simple catch. Mathews has to depart for a well-made 88 (185).  328/4

118.3 OUT! TAKEN! It's that man again, Glenn Phillips gets the job done for his side and right on the stroke of Lunch, New Zealand have got the breakthrough. Phillips tosses this one up into the rough around off, Dhananjaya de Silva goes for the big sweep shot but is beaten on the bounce and gets a top edge. The ball lobs right up and goes around the backward short leg region. There are fielders around that area but it is the keeper, Tom Blundell who runs after it and dives in to take the catch. DDS departs for 44 (80) and that will be LUNCH ON DAY 2!  402/5

0.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Not the start New Zealand were hoping for! Length and on off, Tom Latham looks to block it but gets a thick outside edge. The ball carries towards Pathum Nissanka who takes a sharp catch at gully. An early breakthrough for the Lankans and they will look for more now!  2/1

Conway looks to go inside out. This one holds in the surface and also turns away. Ends up lobbing it over cover. Chandimal runs back and takes it nicely.  97/2

22.2 OUT! That's another fine, fine catch and Sri Lanka have two in quick succession. This is tossed up on middle. Williamson looks to whip it uppishly in the mid-wicket region. He hits it a lot straighter than he would have liked. Ramesh Mendis, the sub, runs to his night and takes it brilliantly.  110/3

27 OUT! TIMBER! That's a beauty! That's an absolute beauty! How do you play that? Flatter, it is angled into middle from around the wicket. This lands and spins away sharply. Ravindra goes back to defend but there is just enough turn to beat the outside edge and hit the stumps.  121/5
