All over, shake of hands and the first Test ends in a drawn match. Today the pitch did turn nasty by NZ defended stoutly against arguably the worlds best spin attack and lost five wickets for 161.
Fleming was the anchor and his concentration may have stopped Murali and co to runs through, an amazing by the NZ captain Sri Lanka must be well satisfied with their performance We have news that NZ did declare on 161 for 5.
The next test starts on the 3rd at Kandy Fleming ended up up with the 12th most runs in a match by one batsman Please join us on the third at 04:30GMT for the second Test Goodbye all
