  • 83.2

    OUT! L.B.W. Suranga Lakmal to Ajaz Patel. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, hit pad to. And there's the final wicket! Absolutely outstanding bowling performance from Sri Lanka this morning, now the challenge will be to back it up with the bat. New Zealand's start this morning left a lot to be desired, and you would think they'll be determined to redeem themselves with the ball. Sensational performances from Akila Dananjaya and Suranga Lakmal ensured Sri Lanka dismissed New Zealand for a modest total - one they will be confident they can match and even surpass. Ross Taylor was the pick of the batsmen with 86. Second innings to begin shortly.

  • 83.1

    OUT! Caught. Suranga Lakmal to Trent Boult. Length ball, off stump backing away Slog, mis-timed to mid on, by Perera. First ball after Drinks and Boult is gone! He completely mis-timed that and it's gone straight down Perera's throat. Easy as you like. Superb bowling from Lakmal this morning. One wicket remaining.

    Akila Dananjaya to William Somerville. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to short mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Karunaratne. Drinks here and Sri Lanka will be absolutely delighted with their performance so far this morning. It has been helped by some poor decision-making from New Zealand. Sri Lanka will be hoping they can knock these last two wickets over quickly with the new ball.

  • 78.5

    APPEAL! Akila Dananjaya to William Somerville. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, bat-pad to short leg for no runs, by Thirimanne, appeal made for Caught. Somerville was very confident he didn't hit that, and the replays back that up.

  • 93.2

    OUT! L.B.W. William Somerville to Lasith Embuldeniya. Doosra length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, hit pad to. The final wicket falls! Sri Lanka looked good early, before a disastrous middle order collapse looked like it might derail their innings. However, an excellent - if unexpected - partnership between Dickwella and Lakmal ensured Sri Lanka would end their innings ahead by 18 runs. It'll still be difficult for them to bat last and win this match - given the highest score ever chased here in Galle is 99 - but at least they've put themselves in a solid position. A couple of injury concerns to their bowlers after copping knocks, but they carry the momentum at this point so expect them to come out firing. New Zealand had a mixed bag in that innings, with Patel starring with five wickets, but as a bowling unit they weren't able to fully capitalise on Sri Lanka's middle order deficiencies. Pressure is now on them to set Sri Lanka a sizeable total to chase.

  • 93.1

    William Somerville to Lasith Embuldeniya. Off break back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Williamson.

  • 92.1

    FOUR! Trent Boult to Lasith Embuldeniya. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, Gloved past fine leg for 4 runs. He's caught that one on the helmet and it's gone for four. The umpire has given it as runs. Sri Lanka will take all the runs they can get at this point.

  • 91.6

  • 91.1

    OUT! Caught. William Somerville to Niroshan Dickwella. Off break length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed to extra cover, by Williamson. Dickwella's innings comes to an end! He batted beautifully and Sri Lanka would not be in the position they're in without him. He's put them ahead and has guided Sri Lanka to a great position. Sharp hands from Williamson and you can't imagine that Sri Lanka will last much longer now.

  • 90.6

    Trent Boult to Lasith Embuldeniya. Out-swinging yorker, off stump no foot movement defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Boult.

  • 90.5

    Trent Boult to Lasith Embuldeniya. Out-swinging short, outside off stump on the back foot Fended, Gloved to short fine leg for no runs, fielded by Watling. That catches Embuldeniya on the finger. Looked nasty but hopefully won't have an impact on his bowling later. They'll take Drinks now.

  • 90.4

    Trent Boult to Niroshan Dickwella. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Latham.

  • 90.3

  • 88.5

    APPEAL! Trent Boult to Lasith Embuldeniya. Yorker, to leg on the front foot working, hit pad to for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. That's the last review for New Zealand. The review was optimistic, that was clearly going down leg.

  • 105.6

    OUT! L.B.W. Dhananjaya de Silva to Ajaz Patel. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Pinned in front, and that will be that. Patel comes forward, plays for turn, but doesn't get it. The ball scoots through low, and hits him on the shin in front of off. A review taken, but that was plumb. All three reds on HawkEye.

    Lunch is taken in Galle as well. New Zealand have done a terrific job to bat through the session, and have added a crucial 90 runs. BJ Watling stood out in that innings, but the whole Kiwi tail did an unbelievable job to eke out as many runs as they could. They have set the hosts 268 runs to win, just one more than Sri Lanka managed first time round. A tough target in the fourth innings at this venue, but see how they start the chase after the break.

  • 105.5

  • 103.2

    APPEAL! Dhananjaya de Silva to Ajaz Patel. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Leave, hit pad to for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. A tight leave from Patel, as the ball runs on with the arm and strikes the back leg. Massive appeal from Sri Lanka, and they decide to review after the umpire shook his head. They end up losing it, though. Not straight enough for the ball to be hitting off stump.

  • 103.1

    The lead is now above 250. It's been a brilliant session for the visitors so far. Can the last pair add a few more to this?

    Sri Lanka complete a very good victory at home in the first of the two Tests against New Zealand. It has been up and down over the five days but it was the home side that won the key moments. Dimuth Karunaratne stood out with his century in the fourth innings and they made the chase of 268 look extremely easy on a turning pitch. Credit also to Akila Dananjaya for his five wicket haul in the first innings and also to the Kiwis for showing fight with bat and ball when it was required.
    Two evenly matched teams who provided an entertaining match for both sets of spectators. On to Colombo for the 2nd Test on the 22nd. Join us then.

    OUT! Caught. Trent Boult to Kusal Perera. Length ball, off stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, by Santner. New Zealand pick up another. It was a risky game which Perera was playing and eventually it caught up with him. Cramped for room as he used his feet and the bat twisted in the hands, gifting the easiest of catches to mid on.
