    nah bro, that's Black Caps batting.

    Wait for Southee to get out trying to hit another six.

    Fully expect that no one wanting to do the hard yards.

    This is why Phillips batting behind Blundell is such a waste.

    A scorecard of the top six all contributing, but not kicking on massively. And 8 - 11 being bunnies.

    Well, 35 run lead. More than it looked when the wheels were falling off.

    Now we need to bowl well, then bat well. Slight advantage SL I reckon, beause we bat 4th

    They will pile it on and roll us in the final innings. I've seen this movie before

    A bit of a lack of self awareness in the tail.

    Santner - yes, can bat - but, not in the class of Phillips. Bat like O'Rourke did. Play some shots when he's out.

    Timmy's been told that for years.

    We run out Mitch and strand Phillips. Luckily, Glenn gives us a bit of a lead - but, @Chris is right - we needed to lead by 150. Pitch would be worse when we started to bowl and we'd have to chase less in the final innings.

    Best hope is the pitch is already tricky, so maybe we can knock over three or four for 30-odd.

    Don't be fooled. We'll have them 4 or 5 down for about 100, then their middle order and tail will score about another 150 to 200

    Sri Lanka are putting our middle order effort in session one into clear perspective...

    We could have sent Ish over for this Test instead of Southee, just to find out how our top five spin bowling options really are, all in one game..

    Worth throwing one of them the ball with the front liners looking little chance of a breakthrough.

    I'm not convinced that Daryl is markedly worse with the ball than Timmy these days, ditto Ravindra for Santner
