The rains have give in somewhat since the end of the ODI series, but during the heavy rain that only means that the showers have been limited to the afternoons in Galle. Sri Lanka will want nothing less than a 2-0 repeat of New Zealand's last Test tour, and their method for success in Galle has been a simple one over the years: bat first, bat big, and then let the spinners loose on one of the fastest-wearing Test surfaces anywhere.
Two teams have a swing of Test specialists arriving, and with Thilan Samaraweera and Prasanna Jayawardene strengthen Sri Lanka's middle order; New Zealand's bowlers will know they are no longer in front of the top heavy batting unit they were up against in the limited-overs matches.
