Innings 1, New Zealand
New Zealand ? 157/1 (Tea 4:00 PM, Day 1)
Overs: 56
Last Wicket: Sinclair b. Vaas 80 (166) ? 149/1
Fleming* - 61
Styris ? 6
Vaas ? 1/62 in 25.0 Overs
Chandana ? 0/55 in 21.0 Overs
Yes it is 157/1. Sinclair finally took leave at 80 unable to take it anymore. On the brim of his century he played it foolishly. Vaas claims the his and his teams first wicket . And the first wicket partnership breaks at 149. What a breakthrough for Sri Lanka.
Dismissed Batsman?s Innings:
1st Wicket: Kiwi opening batsman, Matthew Sinclair played a very wonderful innings in the first test. Although he was unable to complete his century, he was the one to play 45 % of the balls bowled by Sri Lanka and 51 % of the total score. His innings include 8 fours. It was unfortunate that he lost the line of the ball and misjudged it and thus not positioning himself rightly to be bowled off the off-stump. Nevertheless, it was an important innings and wicket. Well played.
- Sinclairs wickets are rooted.

Innings 1, New Zealand
New Zealand ? 170/2 (4:40 PM, Day 1)
Overs: 65
Last Wicket: Styris lbw Jayasuriya 7 (30) ? 169/2
Fleming* - 70
Cairns ? 0
Chandana ? 0/60 in 25.0 Overs
Jayasuriya ? 1/6 in 6.0 Overs
Sri Lanka are all of a dithers now, and have boosted their morale right up. Picking up Styris might be easy but it is an important one. Now New Zealand will have to look out for Sri Lankan bowlers.
Dismissed Batsman?s Innings:
2nd Wicket: New Zealand have lost another wicket in the last 9 Overs. Styris coming in at no. 3 didn?t play long enough, or should one say he wasn?t allowed to play long enough. An attempted back foot defence was not enough to stop the ball. Jayasuriya coming around the wicket reduced the spin, and managed to trick the batsman into believing that the ball would spin a lot. It can be considered a waste of an innings for Styris and a wicket for New Zealand.
-Styris gets called for LBW, Jayasuriyas appeal and Styris anticipation

Innings 1, New Zealand
New Zealand ? 243/3 (5:50 PM, Day 1)
Overs: 80
Last Wicket: Cairns b.Chandana 27 (46) ? 235/5
Fleming* - 106
Astle - 4
Chandana ? 1/74 in 29.0 Overs
Jayasuriya ? 1/32 in 32.0 Overs
The kiwis are flying it high, since the last time we left, in the gap of 15 Overs, New Zealand have managed to score 73 runs at the rate of 4.8 an over! Surely they are playing it like one day match. The wonderful 3rd Wicket partnership worth 66 was broken by Chandana, who was brought back into the attack because of the increased economy of Vaas. The last 15 overs saw a superb 100 thanks to some consistent batting by Captain Stephen Fleming.
Dismissed Batsman?s Innings:
3rd Wicket: Chris Cairns played it like an ODI right in his first ball. Out of the 27 he scored, there were 4 fours. Meaning a 16 runs through boundaries. Keeping a remainder of 11 which was scored through singles. Apparently It was Vaas who gave away all the fours to Cairns
- Cairns is defeated by Chandana
Spot On:
Although Sinclair was sent back on 80, the Sri Lankans couldn?t send Fleming back and he managed to score a century although it took him 219 balls. He has been setting good example for his team through his varied stroke play.
- Fleming celebrates his century

Innings 1, New Zealand
New Zealand ? 253/5 (End of Day 1)
Overs: 83
Last Wicket: Astle b. Chandana 4 (16) - 252/4
C. McMillan ? 8 (5)
B. McCullum ? 1 (1)
Vaas ? 2/97 in 30.0 Overs
Jayasuriya ? 2/34 in 15.0 Overs
The Sri Lankans have finally cracked the code. In just 3 overs the Lankans have been able to take two wickets ? and important one of Fleming and a wicket of Astle. Vaas and Jayasuriya have been able to bag their second wicket on the day. Towards the end of the day, The Kiwis have managed to make 253 runs at the cost of 5 top order wickets. It just remains to be seen how far the lower order and the tail-enders can do.

4th Wicket: Finally, Skipper Stephen Fleming has decided to go back to the pavilion. However it is better to say that Vaas sent him back. Fleming scored a 107 in 234 balls including 7 fours. He didn?t seem to be ready to go back even on the start of the 81st over. Right on the first ball of Vaas, Fleming tried to push the ball through the covers off the back foot. But the ball found the top edge and deflected straight to Sangakkara who picked it up.
5th Wicket: Astle returned back with 4 runs on his back. Not much of an innings for someone so important to the team. New Zealand now have only McMillan as a last hope.
