    New Zealand chances of a test cricket victory over Sri Lanka remain alive in Galle, heading into the final day

    New Zealand chances of a test cricket victory over Sri Lanka remain alive in Galle, heading into the final day


    They are 207 for eight, chasing 275 for victory - Rachin Ravindra's 91 not out alongside Ajaz Patel, who kept the Black Caps in the contest with six for 90 from 30 overs to dismiss them for 309.

    So how did he bamboozle the hosts?



    Australia have beaten the White Ferns by 29 runs in Mackay to secure their best-of-three T20 series with a match to play.

    That's despite the world champions getting bowled out for 142, which included a collapse of seven for 28.
