Sri Lanka ended Day One of the second Test against New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton at 264 for 7. Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews is still unbeaten on 63. He will be key if Sri Lanka are to post a score in excess of 300. Sri Lanka lost three quick wickets right at the end of Day One, including the big wicket of Milinda Siriwardana, who was dismissed for 62. He put on 138 runs for the fifth wicket with Mathews, which had put Sri Lanka in command. With New Zealand having bowled only 67 overs, there is a high possibility that the Day Two will begin a few minutes before time just to make up for the lost overs.
