Sri Lanka gave the Kiwis everything they had in two multi-day test matches. None of it matter.
New Zealand continues to look like the best cricket team on planet earth at the moment, taking the first test by 8 wickets and the second one 193 runs.
From here the two teams will play seven, single-day ODI matches between now and the end of the month, with the first kicking off this weekend in Christchurch.
If the Lions want to stop the Black Caps, they'll need to find a way to contain Kane Williamson. His unbeaten 242 in the previous test was too much for Sri Lanka to overcome. Expect him to put on another sterling performance on Sunday.
The first ODI match between Sri Lanka and England kicks off at 22:00 GMT. A live feed of the match is available for streaming RIGHT HERE.
