Wanindu Hasaranga to Michael Bracewell, Very full, on middle and leg, swept away off the pads towards backward square leg for one by Bracewell.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Michael Bracewell, A loud shout for LBW and this time, Sri Lanka take the review! Turning into the left-hander, on the fuller side, on middle and leg, Bracewell looks to flick it away off his pads but plays all around it. Gets beaten on the inside edge and gets rapped on the front pad. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have clipped the leg stump. The on-field decision will stand but Sri Lanka keep the review.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Michael Bracewell, Oh, what happened there? Did Bracewell get some bat on it? There was a noise as the ball passed the bat but no interest from the men behind the stumps. Pushed across the batter, on a length, Bracewell goes for the reverse but misses and it is taken well by the keeper staying low.

Matheesha Pathirana to Josh Clarkson, Swing and a miss! On a length, way outside off, Pathirana rolls his fingers over the ball, Clarkson just throws his hands at the ball standing right at his spot and misses by a long way. The ball dies down and bounces twice on its way into the keeper's hands. 

Matheesha Pathirana to Josh Clarkson, WIDE! Too much heat on that one, not the right line though. Banged in quick and short over leg but this one angles down leg.

Josh Clarkson is the new man in.

Matheesha Pathirana to Mitchell Hay, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Would you believe it? The on-air commentators were just chatting about Matheesha Pathirana and his amazing strike rate at the death and just on cue, he picks up a wicket. Pathirana steams in and bowls another slingy delivery, this one at 141 clicks and on a good length outside off. The ball naturally moves away a bit but its that steep bounce that catches the debutant Mitchell Hay off guard and he ends up edging it through to the keeper. Kusal Mendis makes no mistake and New Zealand have now lost half their side.

Matheesha Pathirana to Michael Bracewell, On a length, angling across, Bracewell makes room and swats it towards cover to pick up a quick single.

Flatter trajectory again from Hasaranga, pushed through on a nagging length around off. Phillips opts to play it off the back foot but the ball pitches and skids whilst spinning into the batter and Phillips plays all around it. He is pinged on the pads right in front of the stumps and slowly but surely, the umpire's finger goes up. New Zealand slip further now.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Glenn Phillips, FOUR! Nicely bowled but Wanindu Hasaranga is unlucky here. Fractionally short around off, angled in but this one turns and bounces away from the right-hander. Glenn Phillips pushes at it with hard hands and gets an outside edge wide of first slip for a boundary.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Glenn Phillips, The wrong'un now, bowled quicker and fuller around off, Phillips goes deep in his crease and jams it out towards the leg side for a single. A fraction of a second more late and Phillips would have been castled.

Maheesh Theekshana to Will Young, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal, and given! Will Young has reviewed it quite quickly though but it's that sweep again that is causing problems for him. Theekshana fires this one full and spears it in at the off stump line. Young gets a big stride across, looking to sweep it fine but misses and is hit on the front pad. The third umpire is called in and there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows its umpire's call on impact and wickets are hitting which means that the onfield call stands and Young walks back for 19. New Zealand 32/3 at the end of the Powerplay and in a spot of bother.
