    3.4 Outside edge off the flick, the ball is in the air and dies down towards Lister at deep third, who takes it. Nissanka tried to whip the length ball that was outside off. Had to drag it across and got it flying. Lister started to go back and had to adjust later to come in front. Managed to do it and took it low down. 29/2

    1.5 Top edge, Latham settles under the skier and takes it. Mendis got across the line and tried to flick the back-of-length ball aerially again. Tried to go square but got a leading edge and the keeper took a comfortable catch. 18/1

    11.2 Pace off, Perera pulls and finds deep midwicket! Was a slower ball on a length from around the midwicket. Perera tried breaking the shackles but couldn't find the elevation. Easy catch for Neesham. 91/3

    12.3 Pumped downtown but finds long-on! Looped up on middle and leg, DdS got leg side of the ball and tried to drive it straight and over the short boundary. But it held in the pitch a bit and the timing was off. Easy catch for Lister and New Zealand celebrate. 99/4

    18.2 Sodhi runs back from short third, the sun's in his eyes too but the ball sticks into the hand, he has his chest as the second line of defence. He flexes in celebrations. Was a short cutter that Asalanka tried to pull over square leg from outside off but it went off the top edge 140/8

    15.3 Sliced in the air, Lister tracks back from backward point and takes it! Was a fullish ball that Shanaka tried to slog across the line but got a thick outside edge. Ballooned high and Lister was a bit tentative while starting to backtrack but kept watching the ball and took it after turning. He's relieved as he celebrates with Sodhi 122/5

    16.4 Hasaranga spotted the slower one but couldn't get it over mid-off! The extra bounce did him in. The leg-cutter may have curved away a bit. Hasaranga made room and tried to flat bat it over the in-field but got it high off the bat. Easy catch for Milne. 134/6

    17.3 Tries to slog across, goes right up. Latham comes forward and takes it just behind the stumps. Good catch, keeper's all smiles. Was a length ball that Theekshana tried to hit over square leg. Got a top edge and, with Asalanka at the non-striker's end, that felt like a needless shot 135/7

    18.4 Yorker goes off the pad onto middle and Milne has four! The ball actually pitched in front of the crease but Madushan was stuck behind the crease and his feet were glued. He tried to clip it through midwicket. Missed the ball and it deflected onto the stumps. More celebrations for Milne 141/9

    18.6 Yes, another yorker gives him the five-for! He's chuffed, all his team-mates swarm across to congratulate him. He nailed it in the blockhole. Landed around middle and Madushanka had cleared his front leg and tried to whip it away. Missed it and it looked to have straightened and hit middle and off 141/10
