    2.2 nails him with an arm ball! This is a quicker one, fuller too, on the stumps, which given the last ball, Robinson is on the back foot trying to chop away towards the offside. But it whizzes between bat and pad and clatters into leg, and Wellalage has slipped that in beautifully 16/1
    5.6 big shout and given out lbw! This hit him almost on the full, on the back pad, in line with about off stump I think This is going to be close. Umpires' call on the impact - it had grazed his front pad in fact - and that impact turned out to be "umpires call"and the ball was crashing into off stump. Young has to go 31/3
    3.5 flicked into the hands of the deep square leg! This is the result of serious pressure and a slower ball from Thushara. This is a hittable length, but the key is the deception and the pace. Chapman is early on the shot, can get no pace into it, and the fielder has only a few metres to run in 20/2
    8.5 fast googly, pitching just outside off, cannoning into middle and leg, but Phillips has planted his pads in the way and played all around it. That looked plumb, and Phillips doesn't bother reviewing. Lovely sequence of bowling from Wanindu 53/4
    14.4 another slower one, 121kph, this is a length ball as Bracewell runs at him, and although the batter hits it nicely, he's hit it later than he would like. Kamindu Mendis is there at deep midwicket to run in and take a diving-forward catch. Thushara just doing round-arm bowler things in this over. When wlll he bowl a pace delivery. 86/7
    9.5 Hay tries to crash his first ball from Pathirana wide of mid off, and ends up only edging it to the keeper. This is wonderful bowling from Pathirana, who just kept it in that channel and waited for the edge to come. This was almost a length ball. 59/5
    11.4 top edge caught at a very fine fine leg. This is a short one from Pathirana, wide of the body. Clarkson tries to pull, it balloons off the top edge, and Kamindu - who is standing almost behind the keeper - takes a few steps to his right, and then dives forward last moment to get his hands to the ball 67/6
    15.4 slows this googly up, anticipates that Santner will come down the track, and Hasaranga bowls a googly that turns past the NZ captain's back, and strands him down the pitch. Kusal Mendis is efficent behind the stumps 96/8

    19.2 Asalanka gets under it at takes a good running catch. Sodhi shuffles down the pitch to this slowed-up ball on the stumps, tries to crash it over long off, but the fielder there is around to intercept the mis-hit instead. 135/9
    19.3 Floats it up to the No. 11 on middle stump, with a lot of revs, gets his outside edge with big turn off the pitch, and Wellalage gets a third wicket, with Kusal Mendis completing the catch. New Zealand's innings is cut short at 135. 135/10

    5.3 Cleans him up! Nissanka getting a bit too adventurous and pays the price. Foulkes kept it simple keeping it on a good length and straight. Nissanka skipped down the track while making some room, but he misses the inside out drive completely. Nissanka nearly yorked himself there, as the top of off is disturbed 43/2
    1.5 This one though looks pretty adjacent and the finger goes up! Santner strikes in his first over. This was a good length on off, as Kusal looks for the sweep. It's a little slower through the air and he plays over it as ball goes on with the arm. Ball crashes into the back thigh, and this was certainly heading straight for the stumps. They don't bother with the review 3/1
    6.6 And he's trapped him plumb in front! Perera is done in by the arm ball here, as it pitches on a good length and skids on. Perera had slide right back into his crease, but got absolutely no bat on this. It was destined for middle stump 55/3
    10.4 And just like that Kamindu is gone! Big, big wicket. This was another short one, quite wide. And again Kamindu looks to pull it hard. But here he only manages a top edge that loops to Sodhi at short third, who takes it well diving forward 82/4

    11.3 Gloved and gone! This was a very well directed bouncer around chest height, and it cramps Bhanuka. He looks for a pull but only gloves it straight over. Easy catch for Hays behind the stumps 87/5
    17.2 Oh dear and now he's thrown it away! Back of a length and straight, and Hasaranga gets greedy. Goes for a pull to the vacant square leg, but it's gone straight up. Santner completes the catch from midwicket 125/6
