Jacob Duffy 16/3(3)
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jacob Duffy goes bang, bang, bang! Three wickets in the over for New Zealand and all of a sudden, they are right back in the contest. This leaves the batter, on a back of a length, Kamindu Mendis hangs back and pushes at the away-going delivery. The ball grazes the outside edge and the keeper Mitchell Hay completes a safe catch.

Kamindu Mendis walks out to bat now.
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A double whammy from Jacob Duffy! Going across the batter, on a good length, outside off, Kusal Perera stays put and has a massive hoick across the line. Gets a top edge that goes straight up towards the backward point region. There is a bit of indecision between the keeper Mitchell Hay and Glenn Phillips at backward point. Hay calls for it eventually and takes it with a tumble to his left. An ordinary shot from Perera. He goes for a 2-ball duck.

Beaten! This climbs onto the batter, on a shortish length from over the wicket, on off, Kusal Perera tries to use the pace of the delivery and steer it down towards deep third but misses as the ball goes over his bat.
Kusal Perera is the batter at number 3 for Sri Lanka.
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Duffy returns to the attack and breaks through! Can New Zealand build on this scalp and stem the flow of runs? Duffy bangs it into the deck, over off, Kusal Mendis walks across to the off side and tries to scoop it over the keeper. Only manages to get a glove on it and the keeper Mitchell Hay does the rest behind the wicket. The 121-run opening stand is broken. Mendis goes for 46 (36) with Sri Lanka needing 52 runs in 39 balls.

Duffy comes back into the attack and angles it in, on a nagging length, Pathum Nissanka smears it away but does not quite get hold of it. It dribbles in front of deep fine leg for a single.

Pushed through, full and on off, driven straight to cover. 10 runs off Santner's final over. Sri Lanka will take it any day of the week. They need 53 runs in 42 balls.

FOUR! Gap picked to perfection! Fired in, on the fuller side, on middle, Kusal Mendis reaches out in front and takes it on the full. Sweeps it firmly to the left of deep backward square leg for a boundary.

This is floated up again and it stays a bit low, short and on middle and leg, Pathum Nissanka stays low and pulls it to the left of deep mid-wicket. Glenn Phillips is quick across the turf to his left and keeps it down to one.
