A Daryl Mitchell century and a brilliant 72 from Matt Henry helped New Zealand to an unlikely first-innings lead of 18 runs before the home bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 83 for three at the end of the third day of the first test on Saturday.
After all-rounder Michael Bracewell had departed for 25, Mitchell put on 47 with skipper Tim Southee and another 56 with Henry before being caught behind off Lahiru Kumara for 102 with parity 64 runs away. A final flourish from Wagner eked out the lead a little further before the New Zealand bowlers put away their bats and got down to the business of trying to drive home the advantage.
