1st Test: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Dunedin

197 - 4 after 81 overs

Chandimal 83*

In stark contrast to the previous two days in Dunedin, the third was overcast, cold and windy - conditions that were as familiar to New Zealand as they were foreign to Sri Lanka. The visitors struggled to cope: their batsmen succumbed to the moving ball, their bowlers toiled in the strong breeze, and their fielders put down catches in the chilly weather. The upshot was an ever-widening distance between the two teams, exemplified by New Zealand's 308-run lead with nine wickets in hand and two days remaining.

FIFTY!!! Kane Williamson, will get on and score another hundred? NZ 173/1

OUT!!! Kane Williamson goes as New Zealand extend lead by 357 NZ 220/2

Latham survives on 99 as Ball Tracking system was unavailable for a review NZ 226/2

Century!! Tom Lathan well deserved NZ 227/2

By my count, Williamson has now scored 1,000 runs in 2015 at an average of 88. Remarkably, he has played just 7 matches. What a year.

Rain in Dunedin has cleared and the covers are coming off.

Sri Lanka require another 401 runs with 10 wickets remaining

23 without loss
