CSB - Bryan Waddle -NZ Cricket (1)

An even opening day in the first Sri Lanka-New Zealand cricket test at Galle.

The hosts are 302 for seven.

Number five Kamindu Mendis posted 114 on a pitch that contained more venom than some expected in what are traditionally spin-friendly conditions.

Will O'Rourke returned the best bowling figures for the Black Caps, taking three for 54 from 17 overs, as well as pinging Angelo Mathews who he had caught behind for 36.
