- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 What a ball to start the game! It's an inswinging yorker right on the middle stump and Robinson couldn't get to it. The off stump is disturbed as a result. This is excellent from Thushara! Intent so clear 0/110.3 Wanindu hobbling, Mendis hobbling, and yet there's a wicket! Full ball around leg stump, and Young gets forward to play a sweep, but he misses, ball goes down the leg side, and Mendis collects before throwing the ball onto the stumps while nearly falling over! Stumps broken, Young's back leg is weirdly enough outside the crease (despite being in while playing the shot) and he is gone too. Fourth wicket for Hasaranga 52/62.1 Gone! Change of pace has worked for Thushara. Has a wide smile after the second wicket. Starts the second over with a slower one, full length ball outside off stump, Chapman is unable to play a controlled shot, ends up lofting it straight to Kamindu Mendis at extra cover 6/26.1 What was he trying to do?! Looks like a premeditated shot. It's a googly from Hasaranga, pitched on good length on the stumps, Phillips tries to play a reverse sweep and completely misses it. Ends up exposing his middle and leg stump 33/36.5 What a clever piece of bowling! Hasaranga slows it down, at 77kmph. Bracewell charges down to a length ball around off stump, it drops and turns in to take the top of middle stump. Hasaranga, who is still in pain, has a half-hearted smile 33/48.3 Beaten! Hasaranga has been outstanding so far. He is limping again but does the job for Sri Lanka. This a full length ball on the middle stump, gets a bit of dip and beats the outside edge of Mitch Hay, who leans forward to push, and takes the top of off stump. Three wickets in nine balls for Hasaranga 45/516.2 holes out! Good length ball outside leg. Santner also backs away trying to make room but he ends up cramping himself due to the bowler's choice of line. The cutter also forces him to mis-hit, and all he can do is give catching practice to long on 84/718.6 finishes with 3-11! Cranks the pace up for the last ball of his spell. This is 147kph, almost 20kph higher than his usual speed tonight, and the ball beats Clarkson comfortably! Broke the stumps before he could offer his leg-side swipe, that too with minimal feet movement 104/918.3 more catching practice! This isn't being missed. Short and wide ball outside off, and Foulkes tries to ramp it over short third. But with the pace taken off, all the ball does is go high, giving enough time for Rajapaksa to get under it at short third 102/819.3 NZ are 108 all out! Fullish ball on off and sliding into the batter. Sodhi uses the long handle to play a slog over the leg side but he perishes well inside the boundary line at deep midwicket. New Zealand all out in 19.3 overs for two games in a row 108/10Extras19 (b 11, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL108 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 5.53)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tim Robinson, 0.1 ov), 2-6 (Mark Chapman, 2.1 ov), 3-33 (Glenn Phillips, 6.1 ov), 4-33 (Michael Bracewell, 6.5 ov), 5-45 (Mitchell Hay, 8.3 ov), 6-52 (Will Young, 10.3 ov), 7-84 (Mitchell Santner, 16.2 ov), 8-102 (Zakary Foulkes, 18.3 ov), 9-104 (Josh Clarkson, 18.6 ov), 10-108 (Ish Sodhi, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 Golden arm GP strikes! Tossed up outside off, but without much pace to play with. Nissanka goes down on one knee to hammer a shot down the ground for a boundary, but he has holed out to long on well inside the boundary line. He gets a standing ovation from coach Sanath Jayasuriya and some teammates 102/82.1 Gone! New Zealand have their first wicket. So much turn and bounce. Santner pitches this full on middle stump, Mendis goes deep in crease to defend but it spins away and takes the top of off stump. Brilliant delivery, Mendis couldn't have done much. He is visibly disappointed 6/15.6 Ferguson gets his first wicket! Nails a yorker on middle stump, looks like Perera got a bit of bat on it. Ferguson appeals for caught behind. Keeper Hay moves to his left to collect the ball. On-field umpire goes to third umpire. Did it come off the bat? If so, this is an excellent catch too. He looks so sure as he appeals. Yes, UltraEdge shows a clear spike. Perera has to depart 24/27.1 Big shout for lbw and the umpire's finger goes up! He bowls another yorker-length on the off stump, angling in, Kamindu looks to flick this away but misses and gets hit on the front pad. UltraEdge shows there is no bat involved. Three reds light up and Sri Lanka are three down 34/37.2 Ferguson gets the hat-trick! Crazy scenes in Dambulla. Huge shout for caught behind from the keeper and the bowler and the umpire confirms it is. Sri Lanka review this immediately. Good length ball pitched on middle, angling away from the batter; Asalanka tries to flick and gets a little tickle. UltraEdge shows there is a clear spike. Sri Lanka burn their review and the captain has to depart first ball 34/411.3 what happened there? The umpires want to have a chat. This was a length ball just outside off. Rajapaksa tried to play a late cut, but ended up getting an edge. Hay grabs the ball, then loses the ball, but grabs it again on a second chance while also dislodging the stumps. The umpires want to check if the catch was clean since the rebound take was close to the floor. Clean catch, replay confirms, and Rajapaksa is gone. Hay has been electric with the gloves 63/513.2 gone at wide long on! Hasaranga's stay ends. Taken by Nicholls (sub fielder) while falling backwards. Foulkes digs it in, and gets decent bounce. Ball gets big on Hasaranga as he tries to find a big shot. Doesn't get much power and the game is well and truly on! 74/615.5 another terrific catch from the keeper! Length ball around off, sliding into the batter instead of turning away. Wellalage tries to cut but it's too close to his body. Edged onto the keeper's body but it pops up for Hay to take a one-hander on the second grab. 82/719.5 New Zealand successfully defend 108! Length ball around off. Theekshana swings across the line. Ball is sliced high up and the wicketkeeper Hay calls for it, runs square towards midwicket, and then takes the catch. New Zealand win by five runs 103/1019.3 full ball just outside off. Pathirana presses forward to defend but the ball goes past his outside edge. But the momentum takes him out of his crease and Hay whips the bails off in a flash. 102/9Extras11 (b 4, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL103 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 5.19)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Kusal Mendis, 2.1 ov), 2-24 (Kusal Perera, 5.6 ov), 3-34 (Kamindu Mendis, 7.1 ov), 4-34 (Charith Asalanka, 7.2 ov), 5-63 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 11.3 ov), 6-74 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 13.2 ov), 7-82 (Dunith Wellalage, 15.5 ov), 8-102 (Pathum Nissanka, 19.2 ov), 9-102 (Matheesha Pathirana, 19.3 ov), 10-103 (Maheesh Theekshana, 19.5 ov)
