             Live Cricket Match – SL vs NZ 2nd Test Day 4 Live – Sri Lanks Vs New Zealand Watch Live Now

The pitch has definitely eased out and we can see the ball disturbing the surface on occasions. That’s a sign the moisture has dried out. The hosts need early inroads tomorrow to ensure this doesn’t get out of hand. A lead of 80 odd runs is what the visitors would be looking for. Let’s hope the weather is as kind as it was today, if not better. Play resumes at 09:45. See you then!

17:47 Local Time, 12:17 GMT, 17:47 IST: The light isn’t good enough to carry on and that is stumps on Day 3. The Sri Lankan players congratulate Latham for his stupendous effort. Sri Lanka began very well with the ball, the pressure was on with Williamson departinge early, but the left-hander showed great composure – treating the bowling on merit. Taylor perished early to raise Sri Lanka’s hopes of bowling New Zealand out, but Latham killed all of it with his doggedness. He found good company in Watling and the duo ate away at the deficit. New Zealand will be very happy to lose only 4 wickets at this stage.

Now leg gully added

Dilruwan Perera to Latham, FOUR, this 10th Test hundred is special from Latham. Could well be match-winning/saving. The dressing room is up on the feet applauding. Latham pulled this short delivery through mid-wicket and got to the hundred. Sri Lanka had their tails up and were bowling really well in the afternoon, but Latham hung in there, absorbed everything and came out on top
