The day though as all about the Kiwis! They managed to bundle Sri Lanka out for a very low score courtesy Matt Henry and Michael Bracewell. They then enforced the follow-on but Sri Lanka have batted well in their second essay. Can they continue the good work or will New Zealand yet again dominate? We will find out. Do join us for Day 4, the action begins at 0300 IST (2200 GMT PREVIOUS DAY). Till then, goodbye and take care!

New Zealand on the other hand, were quite disciplined with their bowling. They hit the right lines and lengths majority of the times. The key will be to remain patient. The wicket is not offering a lot now to the bowlers and the key will be to remain cool and calm and just continue what they are doing.

That is a good effort from the Lankans! They have shown good grit and the hunger to stay out in the middle in the second innings. However, they are still a long, long way behind in the game but for now, they have done quite okay. The session though did not begin all that well as they lost Oshada Fernando early. Mendis and Dimuth Karunaratne then batted solidly. Dimuth
