4.3 to P Nissanka, leading edge and Santner gobbles up this loopy chance at mid off. Henry has his customary early wicket. This is full, angled in at the stumps, and seaming away slightly. Nissanka tries to whip it through midwicket, but manages only to send it floating up off that edge. That's a substantial blow to Sri Lanka. Nissanka had looked good in the T20Is.. 15/1 37.3 to C Wickramasinghe, Short pitched ball with extra bounce on middle-off, attempts to pull it away over the in-field, misjudged the length of the ball, hits the leading edge to extra cover and Will Young gobbles up with ease. 158/7 39.3 to PW Hasaranga, Back of a length ball on the off stump channel, Hasaranga clears the front foot and attempts to clear the in-field too, bludgeons it straight to mid-off with the toe end of the bat, mistimed it and finds Santner at the mid off area. 175/8 41.3 to E Malinga, Short pitched ball wide outside off, Malinga tries to flat-bat it over the covers, skies it high to extra cover, Santner settles underneath and completes the catch. 176/9
Jacob Duffy	8.4	0	39	2	4.50	35	3	2	2	0
5.6 to BKG Mendis, chopped on! This is what New Zealand's seamers can do in these conditions. This is a short ball, in at the body. It gets to Kusal at about midriff height, and he gets into a bit of a tangle trying to defend this. His angled-bat shot produces an inside edge, and the ball ricochets into the bottom of leg stump. New Zealand are making inroads here.. 18/2 43.4 to AM Fernando, Nicked through to Hay! Short of a length ball, Duffy follows Fernando as the batter moves away early, tried to defend off the back foot, thick outside edge and Hay grabs on to it behind the stumps. 178/10
Nathan Smith	8	2	43	2	5.37	31	5	1	1	0
9.5 to KIC Asalanka, beaten outside off. Sri Lanka can't afford another wicket here. This is a back of-a length ball that takes off, and Asslanka is caught on the crease as he plays a defensive shot. But wait, what's this? Maybe that hasn't passed the bat? Smith had really been the only one to appeal, but makes his case forcefully enogh to a very relaxed Santner, who decides late to review this. And what do you know, snicko shows a spike as it passes the shoulder of Asalanka's bat. Sri Lanka's captain has to go, and New Zealand are all over Sri Lanka here.. 23/4 26.4 to WIA Fernando, Avishka chips it straight to backward point! Length ball wtih a bit of extra bounce off the pitch, width on offer around off, struck the cover drive off the front foot, mistimed and thick outside edge straight to backward point, Phillips makes no mistake. 110/6
Will O’Rourke	10	1	50	0	5.00	41	6	1	5	0
Mitchell Santner	7	0	27	1	3.85	25	2	0	0	0
25.3 to J Liyanage, Liyanage holes out at mid wicket! Short of a length ball, clears the front foot and makes room outside leg, tries to swing it away over the on-side region, miscued the shot and skies it high to mid wicket inside the circle, Bracewell settles underneath and collects the catch. He bangs his head on the ground after falling and tracking back.. 110/5

12.3 to R Ravindra, flicked straight to the fielder at deep square leg! This is not a good ball, but it gets Wickramasinghe his first ODI dismissal. This is full, and marginally outside leg stump. Ravindra wants to flick it aerially to that square legside boundary, and he gets a good connection. But Hasaranga out there only has to run a few metres to his left to get his hands on it. He takes it abiout stomach-high.. 93/1
