New Zealand hope another of their prolific performers from 2014 can step up, this time with the ball on day two of the first cricket Test against Sri Lanka in Christchurch. Catch all the live cricket score and live updates of the match here: (LIVE SCORECARD )

A record-breaking first day at Hagley Oval on Friday left the Black Caps 429-7, the most runs they have ever scored in a day of Test cricket, despite facing fewer than 81 overs.

Brendon McCullum's 195 off 134 balls included a colourful 153-run partnership with allrounder James Neesham, whose long-hitting 85 off 80 balls may be enough to secure his World Cup berth following some lean returns against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

Mark Craig, on five, will be joined by Tim Southee when play resumes on Saturday.
