Heavy winds impacted the second Test between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at the Basin Reserve, Wellington.

On Monday, Sri Lanka had resumed their second innings at 113 for 2, after the hosts had enforced follow-on. In the 121st over, Michael Bracewell bowled a delivery towards the off-stump but the heavy wind caused the ball to outrageously drift away from batter Prabath Jayasuriya and go well out of his reach.
