Key Stats
106.2 Trent Boult to Dushmantha Chameera
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Trent Boult to Dushmantha Chameera. In-swinging length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, hit pad to. A classic Boult delivery pitching on leg, a hint of swing and missed by Chameera. He reviews, but three red lights spell the end for him and with Mathews not returning Sri Lanka too. Just like that the match is over. After the grit and determination of yesterday it took just 12 minutes and 14 balls for New Zealand to wrap things up this morning. Conditions were more in their favour, but the visitors will be unhappy with how quickly they let things slip away. For New Zealand it's a deserved victory, there have been some good rearguard moments from Sri Lanka, but the hosts have dominated for more sessions and days and are well worth the 1-0 series win to round out 2018. The turn into 2019 will see a change to white ball cricket, we'll see you then

103.6 Neil Wagner to Dilruwan Perera
Neil Wagner to Dilruwan Perera. Back of a length, to leg on the back foot Steer, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Raval. A grinding days Test cricket comes to an end, both teams have had to work extremely hard for everything they've gained today. New Zealand have gained four wickets and they'll have to do the same tomorrow. Likewise Sri Lanka will have to get through another days batting. Much may depend on the fitness of Angelo Mathews and the results of a trip to the hospital later.
