Commentary
  • So, hard to tell who is on top right now. Slightly favour New Zealand as there is plenty of batting left for them and are scoring at a quick rate as well but Sri Lanka have to come back stronger on Day 3 as they'll look to make early inroads. Join us for the action of Day 3 at 4.05 am GMT and earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers! 
  • Earlier, New Zealand took under just four overs to bowl out Sri Lanka's remaining three wickets. The Lankans ended for 305 runs just after a rain delay. Sri Lanka may have hoped to score some more runs. Soon after, the Kiwis had a solid session, reaching 136/2 at tea, trailing Sri Lanka by 169 runs. Despite losing Devon Conway early for 17, Tom Latham and Kane Williamson built a strong partnership of 73 runs off 20 overs. Latham was in control against the spinners but fell to Prabath Jayasuriya, who claimed his first wicket when Latham was caught off a top edge while attempting a sweep. Williamson played positively, remaining unbeaten on 40. Both, Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson fell to Dhananjaya de Silva but Mitchell and Blundell have done well to end the day without losing anymore wickets.
  • The umpires get together and have a chat. They think the light is not good enough and that will be STUMPS. The partnership between Tom Blundell and Daryl Mitchell has balanced this game quite equally at the end of Day 2. It was a much needed partnership of 59 runs as Sri Lanka were looking to sneak in some wickets but were not at their best in the final phase of the third session.
