    A horror start for the Black Caps on day three of the first cricket test against Sri Lanka

    A horror start for the Black Caps on day three of the first cricket test against Sri Lanka


    FIVE wickets fell in the first hour under blue skies in Galle .

    New Zealand's paltry resistance didn't even make it to lunch, all out in an hour and a half when tailender Will O'Rourke was skittled for just two, leaving Glen Phillips stranded on 49 not out.

    So after resuming on 255 for four, Tim Southee's men were toppled for 340... Tom Latham top-scoring with 70... Prabath Jayasuriya the pick of the Sri Lankan bowlers with four wickets.

    The tourists did establish a first-innings lead at least, of 35 runs.
