Sri Lanka carry confidence to Wellington despite losing Christchurch ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

The pitch looks even greener than the one at Hagley Oval, but rain could play spoilsport.

A number of those guys have had a number of tours to New Zealand now and have that experience. Way back in 2006, Sri Lanka [even won here](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sri-lanka-tour-of-new-zealand-2006-07-251037/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-2nd-test-251486/full-scorecard). They've had a great two-year period in the World Test Championship cycle, and would like to finish strong." If he plays in Wellington, he will take the gloves and likely bat in the lower middle order. [pushed New Zealand close](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sri-lanka-tour-of-new-zealand-2022-23-1322351/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-1st-test-1322357/full-scorecard). "They're a quality side and we saw that over the five days in Christchurch. There doesn't seem to be a serious technical flaw there - more just a string of lapses in judgement, and the loss of confidence that accompanies such spells. This will leave Dhananjaya de Silva as the primary spinner in the XI. Compared to Hagley Oval, Wellington is a venue at which Sri Lanka have been frequently competitive. There is some serious rain predicted for Wellington over the next few days, however, with Friday, Monday and Tuesday looking especially wet. But there will perhaps be more respect for the Sri Lanka attack among them, than when the series started. He is not a bowler with a lot of height, nor is he especially quick.

NZ: 87-0 after 25 overs. 24.6 Kumara to Conway, no run, pitched up by the bowler outside off, seaming away, Conway lets it through to the keeper.

The players start walking back to the pavilion as the umpires are having a discussion amongst themselves. It's the windiest I have played here, it was hard to run in, it was a challenge for them (bowlers) and we took advantage of that as batters. Drinks are on the field now.. For us, it's about sticking to the process and building partnerships, we stick to that regardless of the situation. When they hit that hard length and when it started to nibble a bit with the new ball, they asked us a few questions. 18:12 Local Time, 05:12 GMT, 10:42 IST: A discussion between the umpires as they check the light. 46.4 Rajitha to Williamson, no run, short of a length outside off, Williamson steers it to gully So the first session of the day was washed out due to a delayed start and wet outfield, and the last session has been cut short due to bad light. We need to bat well tomorrow when the sun is out. The weather hasn't improved, it has gotten worse since the last time we took the reading. Actually a good toss to lose. We'll have to go off looking at the light meter reading.

Conway 78 gives New Zealand the honours on weather-affected ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Sri Lanka's quicks struggled for control on windy day in Wellington, where only 48 overs of play was possible.

[Nishan Madushka](https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/nishan-madushka-1126045)- replacing Niroshan Dickwella with the gloves - held on to a thick edge off Nicholls. In a stand worth 87, it was Kumara that took the brunt of Conway's aggression, with eight of his 13 boundaries coming against the strapping quick. With the seamers struggling to make a consistent impact, Sri Lanka were forced to turn to spin shortly before tea. Eventually that pressure told, with Conway charging de Silva and only managing to chip a low return catch. It was here that Conway in particular flourished.
