Double strike! Boult has two in the over. Vithanage done by the swing & gets a leading edge, McCullum makes great ground to take. 259/6 ^WN

Greenest pitch I've seen for a Test since England v India at Lord's 2012. Both teams will be keen to bowl 1st at Hamilton. #NZvSL

New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka in the first Test held in Dunedin by registering a convincing win by 122 runs. They took a 1-nil lead in the two-Test series.

New Zealand have lost four of their last six Tests in Hamilton. #WorryingFact
