4.05pm So the fast bowlers have picked up eight wickets. Dilruwan sent back Southee while the other one of Ross Taylor came about through an unfortunate run-out at the bowler's end. At the start of play, Dinesh Chandimal had a grin when he said 'we'll bowl.' That grin has stayed right through the course of the next four hours and a bit. That said, Sri Lanka too have a hard grind ahead of them if they're to make a match of this. Join us in 10 minutes.
Gordon: "A full innings without invoking DRS or bothering the third umpire. No LBW and one runout where the batsman walked. " -- The closest they came to it was when Mathews appealed for one off Williamson, but didn't refer. Replays confirmed the ball would've missed leg stump.
Jay Deshpande: "Finally Lakmal proves he's a genuine swing bowler. Brilliant bowling. Also a special mention to Lahiru Kumara for his aggressive, intimidating bowling. Reminds me a bit of Dale Steyn. I hope to see another innings where ball is dominating the bat. That would be great for Test cricket. "
