Kusal Mendisc Martin Guptill b Tim Southee 79 53 8 2 149.06

16.1

Tim Southee to K Mendis, OUT! Caught! The skipper strikes again as he introduces himself. Knuckle ball and full just outside off, Mendis is a tad early in dragging this one towards mid-wicket. It makes sweet sound as the ball hits his bat. Mendis gets the elevation too but the only thing he misses is the distance. The ball goes high towards deep mid-wicket. Martin Guptill there keeps his eyes on the ball and manages to take it over his head just inside the ropes. End of a superb knock from Mendis.

Kusal Perera (W)c Colin de Grandhomme b Tim Southee 11 10 2 0 110

4.3

Tim Southee to K Perera, OUT! The crowd goes silent. Full toss outside off, Perera throws his bat at it. He cannot get under it which means he cannot get his shot over the man at mid off. Colin de Grandhomme standing on the edge of the circle comes slightly forward and takes a good low catch. A bit anti-climatic this but New Zealand won't mind it one bit. The skipper has done the trick here for his side.

Avishka Fernandost Tim Seifert b Mitchell Santner 10 17 0 0 58.82

9.1

M Santner to A Fernando, OUT! Stumped! This was always on the cards. Santner has been bowling smartly and rightfully has a wicket to his name. Slower through the air around off, Avishka comes down the track for the big heave but misses as the ball turns away. Seifert, behind the stumps, makes no mistake and gets an easy stumping. The blockage in boundary built pressure and Avishka succumbs under it.

Niroshan Dickwellarun out (Tim Seifert) 33 25 2 0 132

19.3

S Rance to D Shanaka, OUT! Direct hit at the striker's end and Niroshan Dickwella is well short. Rance spears in a very full ball around leg, Shanaka makes room to swing it across the line but misses. They attempt to steal a bye under the Kiwi keeper's nose. But Seifert is not put off by that attempt. He collects the ball and calmly hits the stumps at his end to find Niroshan short. No need to go upstairs.

3.2

A Dananjaya to M Guptill, OUT! Guptill holes out! The required run rate was scooting up and the scoreboard pressure gets the better of Guptill. Tossed up delivery on off, Guptill looks to slog it over mid-wicket with the spin. He gets the height but not the distance. The ball goes straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Shanaka in the deep fumbles and almost spills it but in the end manages to get hold of it. Guptill's ordinary 2019 continues.

Colin Munrob Lasith Malinga 0 1 0 0 0

0.4

L Malinga to C Munro, OUT! Timber! This is trademark Malinga! He has been in international cricket for more than a decade but the batter still cannot get the better of his best ball. Inswinging yorker on middle and off. Nightmare ball for any batsmen first up. Munro is the unlucky player who gets that. Colin is late getting his bat down in time and the ball goes through to hit the middle pole. Golden duck for Munro on his return to the international fold. Wicket number 98 in T20Is for Slinga Malinga!

Tim Seifert (W)c Kusal Perera b Wanindu Hasaranga 15 21 1 0 71.43

7.2

W Hasaranga to Tim Seifert, OUT! Caught! Wicket off his second ball in T20Is! Not the best ball but he won't mind that a bit. Flatter ball, short and wide outside off, Seifert looks to cut but fails to middle it properly. The ball kisses the outside edge and goes straight into the mitts of Kusal Perera. He takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. New Zealand's chase is going from bad to worse. Wanindu is up in joy! This is just brilliant from the hosts.

Colin de Grandhommeb Lasith Malinga 44 28 4 2 157.14

13.3

L Malinga to de Grandhomme, OUT! Wicket number 99 for Lasith Malinga and he now has become the leading wicket-taker in this format. What a moment to do so! His team needed a breakthrough and the Slinga has provided just that. A low dipping full toss in the line of the stumps, de Grandhomme is late with the swing of his bat and it goes on to hit the base of the middle stump. The crowd erupts. The dangerous stand is broken. 57 needed off 39 balls and Sri Lanka have got an opening here.

Ross Taylorlbw b Wanindu Hasaranga 48 29 3 2 165.52

16.5

W Hasaranga to R Taylor, OUT! Big blow to the Kiwis! The debutant has trapped the big fish in front. A lovely leg spinner by Wanindu, he lands it full on the leg stump line and gets it to straighten from there. Taylor bends his back leg in an attempt to slog it across the line. But he misses the ball completely and is rapped on the pads. They appeal and the finger goes up. Deep down Rosco knows that he is gone as he swings his bat in disgust and then takes a chance by going for the DRS. The Ultra Edge detects nothing and the Ball Tracker returns three reds. Taylor walks back dejected and all the players follow him back in the hut as the rain has picked up its intensity.
