SL tour of NZ, Dec 3 - Jan 10

[Alviro Patterson]

BJ Watling is batting too far down the order, he should have gone above Big Mac and Santner to steady the ship.

[dan08]

SL slight favourites or is it even?

Would have SL favourites. NZ batting last ant going to help them.

[hopeforthebest]

So much for a green top concerns.

[mikesiva]

Sharp stuff from Chameera. He's changed the path of the game. Gets Taylor for 0.

he looked so promising, when I watched him running in to bowl at the West Indies not so long ago....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like a good game so far. Must be a question mark over how much such a grassy pitch will deteriorate. As the grass dies, it might just get easier to bat on. The pace in he pitch should remain though.

New Zealand really need to get some quick wickets here.

[yuppie]

100 run lead, still 10 wickets to get for NZ

[backfootpunch]

there wasnt conclusive evidence that should not have been overturned

i thought i saw a slight change in the balls path, but couldnt be 100% sure

Looking at it, i can not see how the decision was overturned.

NZ got a break, went against them in Aus, went for them here.

nothing on snicko

they were saying there was a mark on hotspot but i couldnt see anything

i thought i could see a slight change in the direction of the ball as it passed the glove but that could easily have been an optical elusion

[yuppie]

It would be best for the third umpire to explain why they have overturned the decision to the on field umpire.

Wonder what he would have said here.

SL great start just been pulled back a bit.

[yuppie]

And NZ with 3 quick wickets are suddenly back in the game.

Evenly poised again?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just got in so not been watching, but I'd guess SL are ahead here.

[braveneutral]

Another wicket so only slightly?
