Both. The dawning, or beginning of the first day was in the evening on Saturday.
Your reckoning is along the same reckoning that Paul previously posted. He also expressed the belief that Yeshua arose midway through the 1st day of the week at the dawning twilight, while there was still some lingering darkness (John 20:1) before sunrise.
Should mention that it appears Paul has since removed the following post. Perhaps, he was expressing an opinion held my some, but possibly not his own opinion.

Perhaps, Paul wasn’t comfortable expressing this opinion in this MJ forum when many believe in a 7th day Sabbath Resurrection. Even though scripture makes it pretty clear that Yeshua arose sometime into the first 12 hrs of the 1st day of the week. Most likely toward the end of the 11th hour as the dawning twilight was replacing the darkness of night when Mary arrived at the empty tomb.
Some reckon the 1st day as a “full (24 hr) day” even if only 1 hr to 3 hrs remained of the Jewish Day.
Some reckon the 3rd day as a “full (24 hr) day” if only 00:30 minutes (or 11:30 hours) had transpired depending on one’s reckoning when a day begins (western or Jewish).
We all know (except each of us ) that there’s only ONE WAY to reckon “3 days” and that’s OUR WAY, the CHURCH’S WAY, BOTH or the Highway.
Sooooo, as reasonable MJs (and [tolerant] Christians) WHY, is it not then acceptable to reckon only 11:30 to 11:50 hours as a “0” “nada” “zilch” “zero” “non” day being less than ½ day. If it were 12:10 to 12:30 hours, then scientific notation tells us that we would then count it as a full day according to Christendom’s pre-established principle/manner for tolerancedoh when reckoning a day.
