    5.3 that's plumb lbw and after a while the umpire raises his finger! The ball was full and hit Nicol low on the pad as he swung across the line. That would have hit middle stump, I think. 15/3
    1.5 bowled him! Latham swung across the line and missed. Kulasekara's length as good and the ball pitched around middle and off and went straight on 4/1
    3.5 McCullum charges and slogs, trying to blast the ball seemingly anywhere. He succeeds in skiing it, really high. It's a swirler and Thisara Perera gets under it and judges it well. He ran in from mid-on and took it very close to the bowling crease, but on the off side 10/2
    8.3 caught behind! A faint edge through to Sanga after Taylor went back to cut a short ball through point. It's all quite tame from New Zealand at the moment, folding without a fight 24/5
    6.5 caught down the leg side! A rather ordinary delivery outside leg stump, Franklin tried to whip it, he only managed a thick nick, though, and Sangakkara anticipated it well and moved to his right to take the catch. It would have been wide had Franklin let it go 18/4
    9.3 caught at short fine leg! Watling tried to sweep and got a top edge that lobbed gently to Chandimal, New Zealand continue to slide after the break. Dananjaya got that ball to turn quite a bit in this damp conditions 28/6
    11.4 caught at deep midwicket! Ellis tries to clear the boundary once again but this time his slog is mis-timed. Thirimanne runs in from the boundary and takes the catch 51/7
