New Zealand have enforced the follow-on. With a 416-run lead, they are confident they can bowl Sri Lanka out again. Karunaratne and Chandimal were going so well till lunch, but Bracewell, who looked threatening towards the end of the first session, ran through the batting after the break! debutant Nishan Madushka was the only one apart from Karunaratne who put up any sort of a resistance and in the end Karunaratne perished 11 runs short of a century as he tried to attack Bracewell. He will be back out to bat soon, though. Join us in a bit for Sri Lanka's second innings!

Tickner to AM Fernando, OUT, Up in the air, and Williamson gobbles it up! Sri Lanka have been bowled out with a 416-run deficit. Another short ball and this time Fernando has a heave. This top edge goes straight up and Williamson settles under it at silly point and takes it reverse-cupped

Tickner to Kumara, no run, On a length outside off, it seams in a bit. Kumara has his bat out to defend but it goes past the outside edge

G.O.Paul: "With the helmet on, Kumara looks a bit like Malinga" Good spot!
