New Zealand smash Sri Lanka to share the spoils of the two-match series

There it is, folks! An all-round effort gives New Zealand their much-needed series parity. Four New Zealand bowlers - Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel and William Somerville - picked two wickets each to bundle out Sri Lanka for just 122 in the second innings after centuries from Tom Latham and BJ Watling gave New Zealand a 187-run lead.

New Zealand now have a two day break before they T20 practice match on Thursday, before the start of the three-match T20I series from September 1.

Dickwella falls

Superb catch from Latham. He went for the sweep and got it fine. Latham moved to his left and caught it. New Zealand just one wicket away now.

Sri Lanka 118 for 9.

Eight down

Somerville strikes and Lakmal's resistance is over. Two more wickets and New Zealand can level the series. Dickwella needs support and he's got Embuldeniya at the other end.

Sri Lanka 115 for 8
