    2.4 he's gone after consecutive fours, aiming for another big shot. This was short and slightly wide of off, Nissanka tries to get under it and upper-cut it over deep third, but the fielder there - Nathan Smith- is all over it, sprinting to his right, leaping up off the ground and completing the take comfortably inside the rope. Excellent fielding and NZ have the dangerous Nissanka 17/1
    38.2 Caught at mid-on! Some respite for NZ. Pushed through full and sliding into off, Fernando goes for the slog-sweep but does not get enough elevation to clear Young. Fernando falls for 100 off 115 balls. Jayasuriya and Kandamby warmly welcome back Fernando 223/2
    45.2 Mendis holes out to extra-cover. No 150 for him.Duffy silences the Dambulla crowd. Pitched-up delivery, pushed wide of off, sliced in the air, fairly regulation catch for Nicholls in the infield. Mendis goes for 143 off 128 balls 291/4
    39.5 spooned to short fine leg! NZ have another wicket. Slower though the air, turns into middle with some extra bounce. Sadeera goes for the sweep and ends up splicing it to Sodhi at short fine leg 238/3
    49.2 slower bouncer outside off, from round the wicket, gets big on Asalanka's hook and messes with his timing. The SL captain can only top-edge this offcutter to deep square leg, where Young makes no mistake this time. Uh-oh, the rain has returned 324/5

    13.6 What a double-strike from Theekshana. He cranks it up to 101ks and storms through the defences of Young. No fifty for Young. Pretty full and fizzing in from over the wicket, Young aims the leg side and misses it altogether. This slider thuds into off stump 89/2
    13.2 Theekshana comes back into the attack and takes out Robinson. Much-needed breakthrough for SL. The keeper fumbles but recovers and does the job. Robinson dares to step out to Theekshana who drags his length back and gets it to curve away outside off. Mendis fumbles but takes another crack at the stumps and catches Robinson short of his crease. The debutant goes for 35 off 36 balls 88/1
    14.5 Asalanka has Nicholls chopping on. Slider outside off, not all that short for the cut, and the ball doesn't come onto the bat either. Nicholls looks to force it through the off side and ends up playing on. NZ have lost three wickets in a space of 10 balls 95/3
    16.3 Theekshana takes a spectacular catch at short midwicket. Half-tracker on off stump, loose ball from Asalanka but it fetches him a wicket. Theekshana dives across to his left and takes it. Chapman nailed the pull but Theekshana hangs onto this fast-travelling ball 100/4
    17.6 Caught at point. GP throws his head back in disappointment. Shorter and turns away outside off, the shot was there. GP cuts but can't clear point. He ends up slicing it to Nissanka 110/5

    21.2 Scooped straight to short fine leg. On a length and outside off, possibly a cutter, Hay shuffles across even before Madushanka delivers. He doesn't get enough elevation to clear Avishka. Madushanka didn't give Hay enough pace to work with either. Smart bowling 134/6
    24.1 Theekshana thinks he's run Santner out. Flat-batted back to Theekshana, who dives in his followthrough and deflects the ball into the stumps. Was Santner short of his crease? Theekshana certainly thinks so. He had backed up a long way and is caught well short of his crease 156/7
    26.2 Castled! Not quite a yorker, but still pretty full and slanting into the stumps from left-arm around. Smith swings for the hills and misses. He goes for 9 off 8 on debut 171/8
    26.3 The leg stump has been knocked out! On a length and nipping in with the sharp angle. Sodhi has a crack at it from the crease and doesn't lay bat on ball. The leg stump has been shattered. Coach Jayasuriya applauds from the SL dressing room 171/9
