New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in first Test in Dunedin

 Neil Wagner's "miracle" ball helped New Zealand complete a 122-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test in Dunedin. Set 405 to win, Sri Lanka resumed on 109-3 looking to bat out the final day to secure a draw and Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal survived an hour. But Wagner followed two short balls to Mathews (25) with a fuller delivery to bowl the Sri Lanka captain and break a 56-run fourth-wicket partnership. Chandimal (58) went 17 balls later and the tourists subsided for 282. "Neil Wagner really stepped up for us," New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum said of the left-arm seamer who was recalled after a year out to play his 18th Test. "Once he got that breakthrough, got Angelo out, then we certainly relaxed the shoulders and were able to push home the advantage.
