| Sri Lanka 1st innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
| NT Paranavitana | c †McCullum b Martin | 0 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 0.3 and there it is! Much better delivery that, pitched up to lure Paranavitana forward and then just gently swings away from the left-hander who pushes at it and gets a nick to McCullum and goes for a duck 0/1
|
| TM Dilshan | b O'Brien | 92 | 108 | 72 | 12 | 1 | 127.77 |
| 27.1 and he's chopped it onto his stumps! Not a good ball and not a good shot, its short and a bit wide outside off stump but Dilshan flashes a leaden-footed cut and succeeds only in dragging the ball onto the base of off stump, what agony for him after a splendid innings 134/3
|
| KC Sangakkara* | c Flynn b Martin | 8 | 12 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 88.88 |
| 2.6 good grief, Sangakkara's chipped a gift on the pads straight into midwicket's lap! Not a good ball at all, a half-volley on the legs but Sangakkara clips it very hard and picks out Flynn, who has little time to react and does well to gobble that up in his midriff 16/2
|
| DPMD Jayawardene | c Taylor b O'Brien | 114 | 297 | 227 | 15 | 0 | 50.22 |
| 79.6 and this time he's gone! Another short ball from O'Brien forces Jayawardene into a loose shot, he goes back cut but plays it feebly and the extra bounce proves fatal as he edges it flush to Taylor at first slip 300/4
|
| TT Samaraweera | c Patel b Vettori | 159 | 346 | 277 | 24 | 1 | 57.40 |
| 115.4 dances down the track to Vettori, making room to go inside out over extra cover, but he plays it straighter and picks out Patel running in and taking the catch low 444/7
|
| AD Mathews | c †McCullum b Vettori | 39 | 89 | 60 | 4 | 1 | 65.00 |
| 102.1 edged and gone! Vettori pushes through a short, faster arm ball that forces Mathews onto the back foot and flashing hard, resulting in a faint tickle as he goes hard and McCullum gobbles it up 386/5
|
| HAPW Jayawardene† | c Flynn b Vettori | 7 | 16 | 15 | 1 | 0 | 46.66 |
| 106.4 and he's taken another! Quicker ball from Vettori drifts onto the pads and Prasana turns it from way in front of his front leg and straight to Flynn at short leg 408/6
|
| KMDN Kulasekara | c †McCullum b Martin | 18 | 39 | 34 | 2 | 1 | 52.94 |
| 116.1 simple dismissal, just hits a good length and straightens it and Kulasekara is neither here nor there, pushing inside the line and the thin outer edge is taken 444/8
|
| T Thushara | c O'Brien b Vettori | 0 | 12 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 117.4 thats a simple catch for O'Brien at mid-off as Vettori tosses it up invitingly into the rough, gets some turn and bounce, and Thushara miscues an aerial drive, he was looking to go hard but the bite off the track drew a false shot high in the air 452/10
|
| M Muralitharan | c †McCullum b Martin | 8 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 160.00 |
| 116.6 smart catch! The fun ends for Murali, it was brief and not too painful, he flays the bat at a short ball that rises up and McCullum leaps up and does really well to hold onto the thick edge that was traveling high to his right 452/9

| New Zealand 1st innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
| TG McIntosh | lbw b Muralitharan | 69 | 292 | 226 | 6 | 1 | 30.53 |
| 74.1 pitches outside the off stump and spins in, McIntosh plays forward and the ball misses the bat and strikes the pad, marginally in line, loud appeal and given by the umpire. 188/5
|
| MJ Guptill | b Thushara | 24 | 53 | 35 | 5 | 0 | 68.57 |
| 9.6 well what do you know? After a lovely caress through midwicket Guptill perishes to a loose shot, looking to get up and pull a shorter ball in front of square but succeeding in only dragging it back onto the base of his stumps 45/1
|
| DR Flynn | b Mendis | 14 | 54 | 44 | 1 | 0 | 31.81 |
| 26.3 Mendis gets Flynn with one that turns back from outside off stump, he pushes forward but doesn't keep the bat close to pad and leaves a sizable gap which results in an inside edge onto off stump 80/2
|
| JS Patel | lbw b Muralitharan | 26 | 79 | 57 | 2 | 0 | 45.61 |
| 44.3 wrong ball to play back to! Its quicker and straighter and the lack of turn does Patel in as he moves back to try and turn the ball away, struck in front of the stumps and Patel goes for 26, one short of a Test best 129/3
|
| LRPL Taylor | c †HAPW Jayawardene b Thushara | 35 | 90 | 81 | 3 | 1 | 43.20 |
| 71.2 Thushara strikes, good length delivery angled across Taylor, who plays forward and gets an outside edge through to Jayawardene, a good bowling change. 180/4
|
| JD Ryder | not out | 22 |
| 50 | 2 | 0 | 44.00 |
| |
| BB McCullum† | b Thushara | 1 | 14 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 12.50 |
| 77.2 McCullum is cleaned up as he plays half forward to a delivery that came back in just a touch, inside edges and the middle stump is knocked back. 195/6
|
| JDP Oram | c sub (BSM Warnapura) b Muralitharan | 12 |
| 26 | 1 | 0 | 46.15 |
| 86.2 uh oh, that doesn't look out! Murali persists with the googly that pitches outside leg stump and hurries onto Oram who tries to turn it but misses the ball completely, the ball brushes his pad and pops up to Warnapura who gobbles it up, indeed replays don't show any bat or glove and Oram's disappointment is understandable 223/7
