Domo: "Wow, that's an absolutely treMendis effort there! Excited to see such talent coming out of Sri Lanka! :D"

4.08pm With a total of 600-plus on the board, you'd think only one team is in the game at the moment. New Zealand dropped and missed quite a few chances, but take nothing away from Sri Lanka's batters, three of whom hit centuries - including Kusal, who was unbeaten on 106. Another of those centuries, Kamindu's 182*, beat and achieved a few records on its way. Phillips was New Zealand's best bowler with three wickets, but little would he have imagined that he would have had to bowl as many as 38 overs. Anyway, join us for New Zealand's response soon, after they have fielded for nearly 164 overs.

Around the stumps

Hello again, everyone. Will Sri Lanka ever declare? We keep waiting, and here comes Ravindra after the drinks break.

Samarth: "Will Kamindu be aware of this feat if he accomplishes it soon? Or will he have to wait until the team declares or he gets out? " It's drinks now Samarth, so I suspect someone will get the word out to him.

And with drinks, I'm going to rotate out and let Himanshu take you through the rest of the day.

bob: "While I generally subscribe to the sentiment of putting the team's prospects first, this isn't like declaring before a batsman gets to a hundred (for which they'll have other chances in other innings). This is a once in a career milestone that has the potential to etch a Sri Lankan's name in the record books next to the likes of Don Bradman which has the potential to inspire kids for generations in the country. "

Well I hope they don't declare now! Too late for that hahah. And yes, it will be quite special to see Kamindu's name up there on that list.
