Dilshan Madushanka To Chad Bowes OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Dilshan Madushanka gets into the act now! Starts with a length delivery at the stumps and the ball nips back in after pitching. Chad Bowes does not account for the inward movement as he tried to defend. The ball sneaks through the gate and crashes onto the stumps. This is some start for Sri Lanka and not so, for New Zealand.
Dilshan Madushanka shares the attack with Maheesh Theekshana for the visitors.
