A bit of up and down session for both teams where Kiwis bowled out SL on 244 and batted good although losing 2 openers but stretched their lead to 227 with 8 wickets in hand and 2 sessions from today still in their hand before they decide to declare and go after Lankan batsmen in an effort to win the match. SL on the other hand would be looking for a draw and maybe bowl the Kiwis out with minimum lead and push for a win as well. Please join us after lunch in 30 minutes time
