Is Kane Williamson the least obtrusive almost-run-a-ball batsman in world cricket? He accumulates so effortlessly #NZvSL 50 off 53; superb

Sri Lanka concede 20 boundaries in the first session.

LUNCH! NZ 114-1 at lunch in Dunedin. They are off to a flier. The Sri Lankan bowlers are struggling against Guptill and Williamson. Both the batsmen look set and will be trying to stay as long as they can because the runs are coming quite easily.

50 for Martin Guptill off 74 balls. Run rate continuing to rattle along here in first session with NZ 97/1 ten minutes from lunch #NZvSL ^WN
