    Anyone know why the Black Caps are wearing black armbands?

    Paying their respects to the passing of Conway's technique.

    Black arm-bands on for the 1st day in Galle to honour the passing of former team manager (1980-90), NZC director & Cricket Wellington chair Ian Taylor.

    The captain gets one early then goes for lots.

    We’ll see how the rest of the pop guns go I suppose.

    Only watching on cricinfo but sounds particularly unthreatening so far.

    The last test wasn’t a hiding and the BCs got reasonably close in the end but there were some underperforming passengers in that match.

    Some heads should have rolled and it’s ridiculous that not a single one did.

    Would have been 10/2 if Mitchell didn't drop a sitter

    This is where Santner does come in handy. 8 overs, 0/8 won't bring his average down, but is great in putting the brakes on and building some pressure.

    @Donsteppa Much as I like Mitch in shorter forms - he's a bit of a variant on Chris Harris.

    Yep, I'd still have someone else in the Test side. Just figured his ability to dry up runs at least has come in handy. Harris is a good comparison.

    Chris Harris at test level made Santner look like Warnie

    Mitch has runs on the board. Literally.

    Chandimal with a hundred, Sri Lanka closing in on 200 and our only wicket other than the one that Southee got was due to a run out.

    Could be a LONG day tomorrow.

    Southee playing as a specialist captain now that he’s taken a single wicket for 30 runs, has stopped bowling as he clearly doesn’t want the average to get any worse

    Phillips economical AND gets a wicket. Sri Lanka reeling a 221/3, let the collapse begin

    Tim needs to finish up pretty soon if he wants a sub-30 career bowling average.

    Yeah that to me is the difference between ‘good’ and ‘very good’ ( with sub 25 being excellent )

    @MN5 Right now, he's got less than 100 runs to play with - before his next wicket.

    Looking at Matt Henry's performances in the past 2 years it's pretty hard to justify Timmy playing ahead of him.
