Lunch New Zealand 5 for 0 (Conway 4*, Latham 1*) trail Sri Lanka 305 (Kamindu 114, Kusal 50, O'Rourke 5-55) by 300 runs

New Zealand needed little time to get the remaining three Sri Lanka wickets on the second morning in Galle, as the hosts were bowled out for 305, adding just three runs to their overnight total.

It meant O'Rourke ended with figures of 5 for 55, his second five-for in four innings in Tests, while Ajaz and Glenn Phillips ended with two wickets apiece.

Between Ajaz's early breakthrough and O'Rourke's burst, though, there was a lengthy rain delay which ate into about 45 minutes of the morning session. And then once New Zealand came into bat, only a solitary Asitha over was possible before rain intervened again.

In all, only about 15 minutes of play was possible through the morning session before lunch was taken. More rain has been forecast across the day, but to make up for lost time, there will be an extended two-and-a-half hour post-lunch session, while the third session is set to run for two hours and 40 minutes, provided the weather stays clear.
