The Black Caps huffed and puffed and eventually blew down the Sri Lankan batting order on Monday, recording an innings and 58 run win at the Basin Reserve.

Black Caps bowler Blair Tickner was tasked with running into that stiff breeze for much of the day, taking three of the Sri Lankan wickets.
Tickner spoke to Corin Dann.
