4:35pm: New Zealand will bat first. Sri Lanka were in front at the end but, as was the case throughout the game, New Zealand fought back. Ravindra's wicket felt like it signalled the end. Sodhi found his timing from the get-go, he smoked the final ball to give the hosts another go.
Six to tie. Long conversations. Short third, gully in. Six to tie.
