11.03am So it has taken New Zealand 13.2 overs to polish off the last three wickets. Even-stevens at this stage. Surely, New Zealand will believe should they get 200 in the third innings, they'll stand a very good chance of taking a series lead. Remember, the highest-successful fourth-innings chase in Galle is just 99. This is turning into a corker of a Test. Don't go anywhere.

The physio is coming in to have a check on Embuldeniya, who was struck on the head a couple of deliveries ago. Replays confirm there was no glove, so apologies for that. He was hit near the left ear, a glancing blow and not a full-on hit as confirmed by Simon Doull on air.

Hashir: "Shashank, ever since he was left out, rather unfairly in my opinion, Niroshan Dickwella has been working hard. His social media was always about focus, training, working hard and staying fit last couple of months. Yes, he is channeling a better version of himself now. Hope he performs well in the next innings and his career ahead."
