16.5 beautiful bowling, and Young has run past one! Tossed up deliciously outside off, enticing Young to advance. He does so but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball as it drops and dips on it. Grips in the surface too and breezes past the outside edge as he looks to prod it away. Kusal does the rest, and Vandersay is over the moon! 69/3

1.4 Through him! Wellalage has had immense success with his arm ball in recent times, and it's no different here. It's a on a good length and it catches Robinson uncertain with his footwork. It skids through, and keeps a little low as well. Robinson simply plays down the wrong line and it's clattered into middle and off 9/1

7.6 And he's burst through him! This one was just back of a good length and a little wider. Pushed through much quicker at 107kph as well. Nicholls gets a good stride in once but pushes away from the body, and it results in him getting a massive inside edge on to the stumps. Nicholls flails his arms in disgust 31/2

36.1 in the air, and that seems like another worldie by Avishka Fernando! Dug into the track outside off. Chapman, like he did in Asitha's last over, shapes for the pull. Gets a good piece of it but hits it flat and in deep mid wicket's general direction. Avishka lunges forward, gets his hands under the ball and picks it up inches off the turf. A superb catch under pressure, and Avishka has given SL the moment of magic to now build upon! 173/5

23.1 Has he held on to this? If so, wow! This was a bit of a long hop from Asalanka, full down leg, and Phillips absolutely nails the sweep. But it's in the air and going at a rate of knots towards Avishka Fernando at deep backward square leg who dives forward and grabs this just centimetres off the ground. They go upstairs to check, but this is clean. Wowza! 98/4

45.1 Kusal Mendis goes up, as does Theekshana but Langton Rusere's finger doesn't. Sri Lanka review! Fired in full outside off. Hay, struggling with cramp, opts for an option behind the wicket. Shapes for the reverse and seems to graze the turf. The hosts' contention, though, is that the ball also caught a bit of the bat face. Hay does not look very confident, it must be said. The ball has not hit the bat, but there is a clear spike when the ball is next to the glove. Maybe that was why Hay's body language portrayed resignation. Decision overturned, and Hay falls a run short of his maiden ODI fifty. New Zealand, meanwhile, bowled out for 209! 209/10

36.5 Avishka in play again, and that man could catch a cold in the desert today! This is on the shorter side again and after swaying out of the way earlier in the over, Bracewell cannot help but swipe at this. Gets it a little high on the bat and the ball spoons up towards deep mid wicket. Avishka tracks it all the way, judges it to perfection and completes the catch with a slide forward. Sri Lanka go back-to-back, and NZ in a bit of bother now! 173/6

40.1 high into the night sky, and taken by Nissanka! Given a bit of air on middle and off, and Santner's eyes light up. He looks to go downtown but does not quite pick the googly. Cuts across it too much and Nissanka, haring in from the long off fence, sprawls forward to snare the chance. Rolls on the ground to make it more theatric, but the key takeaway is that Sri Lanka have another, and NZ are seven down! 185/7

40.2 trapped in front, and the finger goes up! Googly fizzed through full on off. Smith, playing his first ball, has no clue about the variation and plays down the wrong line. Gets pinned on the pads and umpire Prageeth Rambukwella, after a bit of thought, gives it out. Smith has taken this upstairs, though. Did he hit it? Was it doing too much? No bat involved, so that is one box checked. Ball Tracking comes up and...it reckons the ball would have clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call, and Smith has to depart for a golden duck! 185/8

43.2 Sodhi has gone walkabouts, and Kusal Mendis does the rest! Darted in full and slightly down leg. Sodhi looks to tickle it fine and misses. In that endeavour, though, he ends up stepping outside his crease. Was he unsure of where the ball had gone, or did he just over-balance? Whatever that may be, Kusal, despite fumbling, took the bails off and Sodhi could not get back in time. A really soft dismissal, and SL one wicket away from bowling NZ out! 199/9

9.5 And finally the pressure tells! Nissanka skips down and looks to loft this over mid-on. But Nissanka can't get the height and he's chipped a simple catch to the man in the ring. A despondent Nissanka trudges off 41/2

4.3 Avishka finds deep square leg! The man was stationed there for just this stroke, as Avishka got a good hold of the sweep. But it doesn't have the legs to go over the man, and instead it's as straight forward a catch as you'd like 23/1

11.2 Bracewell has another! And Sri Lanka can start worrying. This was tossed up just outside off, and Kamindu can't resist pushing at it. Not quite to the pitch, as this straightens and takes the edge. Well taken by Hays as well 46/3

15.3 Asalanka bites the dust! Bracewell throws up the invitation again. Full and dipping on off. Asalanka looks to go downtown but the ball drops on him. Not to the pitch and his swing only elicits an outside edge that swirls towards short third. Sodhi does the rest, and Bracewell holds his arms aloft in celebration! 65/4

21.2 nicked and gone! Samarawickrama does not review either! Darted in again, on a back of a length outside off. Samarawickrama shapes for the cut but the ball is perhaps not as short as Samarawickrama thought it was. Skids on too, meaning that he only manages a feather through to the keeper. Sharp work by Hay, and NZ are piling more pressure on the hosts! 93/5

31.6 And the bowling change has worked! Another short one, but this time Liyanage is looking to just paddle it around the corner. But he only ends up gloving it through to the keeper. Such a soft dismissal, but so so crucial in the context of the game - Liyanage had looked supremely at ease against spin 132/6

36.1 catch it is the call, and taken! Bracewell breaks this game wide open! Floated up full on off. Wellalage cannot resist the temptation to go downtown, and takes on Sodhi. Does not get under it enough, though, perhaps because of how full it was, and offers a simple catch to mid on. Bracewell is delighted; Wellalage and Sri Lanka, not quite! 163/7
