    "editor1": "<p><strong>June 1 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson win the toss and asks Sri Lanka to have a bat first with the wicket wearing a greenish look at Sophia Gardens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the toss, Williamson: We are gonna have a bowl. It&#39;s a fresh wicket with a green tinge. Blundell is out. It&#39;s a day-by-day thing. Quite not ready today. Just a one spinner and two all-rounders. That helps with the balance. For us it&#39;s about adapting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Karunaratne: I would have bowled as well. We wanted to take advantage. Jeffrey Vandersay, Milinda Siriwardana, Nuwan Pradeep, Avishka Fernando are not playing. We don&#39;t have much pressure. We want to do well. We want to show what we can do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pitch report by Nasser Hussain: New Zealand will be quite happy with what they see. There&#39;s good, even covering of grass. A fresh pitch. They leave grass to keep pace on the pitch. If they shave, it tends to dry. If anything, it comes onto the bat. Today, it&#39;s gonna be about skill, pitching it up and nibbling it around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson(c), Tom Latham(w), Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Trent Boult<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Dimuth Karunaratne(c), Lahiru Thirimanne, Kusal Perera(w), Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Suranga Lakmal, Isuru Udana, Lasith Malinga<\/p>\r\n",
