Following the five set battle between Rubin Statham and Harshana Godamanna, Dan King-Turner made it two from two for winning the second singles rubber of the NZ v Sri Lanka Davis Cup Tie

King-Turner played Sri Lanka's number two Rajeev Rajapakse.

After a set all, it was looking to be another five setter, but King-Turner was able to stay ahead and win the next two sets to take the match 6/2 3/6 6/1 6/2.

2010 Heineken Open Doubles Champion Marcus Daniell makes his Davis Cup debut in the doubles on Saturday.

Originally Oliver 'Mikal' Statham was named to pair with Daniell, but Captain Marcel Vos has replaced him with King-Turner.

Result Day One: Rubin 'Jose' Statham (NZL) beat Harshana Godamanna (SRI) 6/3 3/6 6/4 3/6 6/4; Dan King-Turner (NZL) beat Rajeev Rajapakse (SRI) 6/2 3/6 6/1 6/2
