Chameera, Herath leave NZ in a daze

Tea New Zealand 132 for 5 (Guptill 50, Chameera 3-17) trail Sri Lanka 292 (Mathews 77, Siriwardene 62, Southee 3-63) by 159 runs 

Scorecard and ball-by-ball subtle elements 

Dushmantha Chameera's bouncers jabbed gigantic gaps in the New Zealand batting line-up and left BJ Watling and Mitchell Santner, the last match of perceived batsmen, on patch-obligation in the Hamilton Test. At tea, the hosts were 132 for 5, as yet trailing Sri Lanka by 159 runs. 

The second session today turned into the support on which the match spun, and the difference was stark since Sri Lanka spent the first just about in sleep. They took 16.1 overs for 28 runs, and lost three wickets to be rocked the bowling alley out for 292. At that point they spent whatever is left of the morning like a lightweight boxer tossed in a heavyweight battle - working inside of restrictions and seeking after an error. After lunch, notwithstanding, Sri Lanka did that thing all Davids do. They punched and punched and punched and are near thumping their rival out. 

New Zealand lost five wickets for 72 keeps running in the second session and that slide started once Angelo Mathews woke up to the actuality he had the speediest bowler in the match. Chameera was kept out of the assault for 20 overs, however he bobbed out Tom Latham in minutes. Will the same trap conflict with the No. 2-positioned batsman on the planet? Yes, Kane Williamson was gotten at long leg for 1. Will it conflict with a world-record holder? Ross Taylor, who had struck 290 against Australia just a month ago, sacked a duck. Chameera, with three Test's experience behind him, had hustled New Zealand's in-structure batsmen over into the changing area. 

The short-ball format was gone on to Nuwan Pradeep who got McCullum to top edge a snare to the limit rider at fine leg, yet he had exceeded by a horrifying inch. Sri Lanka looked to their senior to be their rescuer once more, and Rangana Herath had McCullum inside edging to senseless point 11 balls and minutes before the break
