Rachin Ravindra to Dunith Wellalage, no run, full and angled across Dunith Wellalage outside off, he gets forward and dead-bats to the vacant cover-point area, doesn't want the run, even though there was one there and an easy one at that

Rachin Ravindra to Dunith Wellalage, 1 run, slower and good length outside off, turns in, Dunith Wellalage goes on the back foot and works it to deep square-leg

Rachin Ravindra to Dushan Hemantha, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Rachin Ravindra has four. It's full outside off, turns away, Dushan Hemantha gets forward to swipe, gets low to do that, off the bottom of the bat and Mitchell comes in from long-on to take it on the slide. Never going to drop that with such big hands. The slight turn induced the false shot. Dushan Hemantha c Daryl Mitchell b Rachin Ravindra 3(6)

Rachin Ravindra to Dushan Hemantha, no run, big turn and the premeditated shot of Dushan Hemantha comes to nothing. He turns around to reverse-sweep and this is wide outside off, he doesn't connect

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, no run, slower and tossed up on a good length outside off, turns in, Kamindu Mendis gets forward to pat it back

Rachin Ravindra to Dushan Hemantha, 1 run, flat back of a length on middle, Dushan Hemantha goes on the back foot and works it to deep mid-wicket

Rachin Ravindra to Dushan Hemantha, no run, drift in and look at the spin away, towards off, once it turns so much, Dushan Hemantha has no chance, does well not to nick off as he pushes at it

Rachin Ravindra to Dasun Shanaka, out Caught by Finn Allen!! Sanath Jayasuriya and Lasith Malinga can't bear to watch. Angelo Mathews on air calls it "painful to watch". This is half-tracker outside off, but there's extra bounce, Dasun Shanaka is defeated by that, goes on the back foot to cut and the top-edge is found. Simple catch to backward point. That turned with extra bounce and Shanaka goes. Half the side down and we are heading towards only one result here - a comprehensive New Zealand win. Dasun Shanaka c Finn Allen b Rachin Ravindra 3(5)

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, quicker and good length, turns from outside off to middle, Kamindu Mendis goes on the back foot and glances to short fine, quick single taken

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, no run, slower and the good length delivery turns in, Kamindu Mendis is way early into the pull, misses, hit on the tummy

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, wide, tossed up down leg, full, Kamindu Mendis looks to sweep and the ball turns down, with extra bounce, called a wide as Tim Seifert collects

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

Rachin Ravindra to Dasun Shanaka, 1 run, full on off, Dasun Shanaka gets forward to drive and beats the dive of Rachin Ravindra to his left

Rachin Ravindra to Dasun Shanaka, no run, good length outside off, turns away, with extra bounce, Dasun Shanaka feels for it, with a slip waiting, the ball turns past the outside-edge

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. Pavan Rathnayake st Tim Seifert b Rachin Ravindra 10(18)

Rachin Ravindra to Kamindu Mendis, 2 wides, what a poor delivery, short and well down leg, Kamindu Mendis lets it go and Tim Seifert can't glove it, so it's two wides

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. Kusal Mendis st Tim Seifert b Rachin Ravindra 11(22) [4s-1]
