New Zealand tame Sri Lanka in Christchurch

Things went from bad to worse for Sri Lankaon day 3 of the Christchurch Test. The Lankan bowlers couldn't capitalise despite bowler friendly conditions as tons by Latham and Nicholls helped the New Zealand declare their 1st innings at 585/4, setting a 670 run target. In their quest to achieve the unthinkable, Sri Lanka were left struggling at 24/2 at stumps. With 2 days of the test match left, the visitors still need 636 runs to win.
