2.50pm New Zealand have put up another big total as they get past 300 to finish on 315 for 8. Sri Lanka's bowlers, who started off the innings beautifully with disciplined lines and lengths, ended up very similar to the end of their last bowling effort, as they gave away runs with some rather wayward bowling. Sri Lanka will hope their batsmen can fare better as they face down another big chase in Dunedin. Shame for both Taylor and Williamson though, who were both out at 96 and 97 respectively. We will see you soon for the second innings!

With that dismissal, Kyle Mills features out in the middle. Good to see him in a Blackcaps uniform!

Dave: "Based on a few comments I've seen on cricinfo, and me included, quite a few people owe grant Elliot an apology or two. He's played superbly since the first game failure... Long may it continue!"

Prasad to bowl the final over..

Surath: "This is why I say Prasad is a useless bowler. He is only good with the new ball. He cant even get his line right with the old ball. Problem with him and Thisara is that they try to hit that 140+ mark but doesnt seem to understand that its not the speed, but the line and length which will save you in the death overs.. Why can't these guys bowl yorkers is beyond me!"
