The best and the worst from day two of the second test between the Black Caps and Sri Lanka at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
Stat of the day
15 – The balls it took for Trent Boult to claim six test wickets. That's the fewest amount of balls required to
take six scalps – tied with former West Indian seamer Jermaine Lawson.
The day's best timing
Jeet Raval had gone over a year without scoring a test 50, failing to reach the milestone in his last 12 innings. While he had produced some handy opener's knocks in that time period, being able to raise the bat must have been nice for the 30-year-old, whose 74 would have secured him of his spot at the top of the order for the rest of the summer.
