Dushmantha Chameera to Mitchell Santner, SIX, shot! Chameera searches for the yorker and does not get it right - full toss outside off, Santner moves across and pumps it down the ground, clearing long-on with ease

Matt Henry to Pathum Nissanka, out Bowled!! What a start! Henry roars. The crowd are stunned. Nissanka, the star of the show against Australia, is gone for a first ball duck. This is a classic Henry delivery.

Matt Henry to Charith Asalanka, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Henry on a roll. Struck with his first ball in the first over, now strikes with his first ball in the second over. Asalanka walks back. Sri Lanka in trouble. This is smartly bowled - Henry saw Asalanka charge down and took pace off, bowled it into the pitch, Asalanka tries to play the cross-batted shot and only manages a top-edge, the ball lobs to mid-wicket and Mitchell takes a dolly.

Rachin Ravindra to Kusal Mendis, out Stumped!! Beautiful piece of bowling. Rachin Ravindra bowls it slower and wider, extra turn and bounce on that one, Kusal Mendis jumps out to slash, the bounce takes it over the bat and Tim Seifert did so well, he collected it to his right and then had a fair way to go the stumps. Mendis nearly got back but his right leg was in the air when the stumps were lit. It is sent upstairs and the third ump makes the call. Maybe Ravindra saw Mendis charging and bowled it wider. On one leg and Mendis had no chance.

Rachin Ravindra to Pavan Rathnayake, out Stumped!! Again Rachin Ravindra with that wide line and he gets Pavan Rathnayake the same way as Kusal Mendis. Throws it up well wide outside off, Rathnayake comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, miles from it, tries to reach and drive, the turn takes it away from the bat and Tim Seifert again with a sharp piece of work. Gets the ball and this is an easy stumping as Rathnayake was way down the pitch. Two in the over for New Zealand and they are bossing Sri Lanka here.

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, tossed up full on middle, Kamindu Mendis shuffles across and the top-edge on the sweep helps, beats the fine-leg fielder who's Henry who runs and dives to his left to stop and can't. A welcome boundary
