Change? Nope. Mitchell Santner to continue and will complete his quota of ten overs. With 4 overs remaining, the 300 is pretty much on for Sri Lanka, especially with Wanindu Hasaranga out there, who has all the ability to strike a few lusty blows in the stands. Alongside him is Janith Liyanage who is well-settled as well. An interesting climax of the first innings, folks! Hold on tight!

Matt Henry to Chamindu Wickramasinghe, OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! A crucial wicket at an even more crucial juncture for New Zealand. Henry comes back into the attack and strikes straightaway. Short-pitched delivery with pace off. Chamindu Wickramasinghe is way too early in the shot and pulls this but the timing is completely off. The ball finds Nathan Smith once again in the outfield as he completes a good catch at deep mid-wicket fence. Matt Henry, with this wicket goes past Shane Bond, the former New Zealand quick in terms of most ODI wickets. He jumps to the 9th position now.
