NZ vs SL Live Cricket Score

1.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Tom Latham holds on this time and it is Pathum Nissanka who departs early! In the channel again, shaping away, on a length, Pathum Nissanka looks to drive it on the up through mid off. He fails to account for the away movement as the ball moves away enough to catch the outside edge and Tom Latham makes no mistake this time. 3/1

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Lockie Ferguson gets his first wicket and it's the big one of Kusal Perera! Sri Lanka are in dire straits having lost half their side. Delivers it fuller than the previous delivery, outside off, Kusal Perera gets tempted by the line and length and tries to go over the top on the off side. Slices it high in the air towards extra cover where Kane Williamson and Mitchell Santner converge. There is a bit of confusion for the catch but it is Santner who settles under it and does the rest. 70/5

4.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Trent Boult gets into the act now! He gets his 50th ODI World Cup wicket! A big blow for Sri Lanka as their skipper walks back cheaply. Serves it in the channel on off, on a fuller length, Kusal Mendis goes for his favourite pick-up shot but pays the price for slogging across the line. Gets a top edge that flies all the way down to third man where Rachin Ravindra stationed on the boundary, runs and slides forward to complete a safe catch. 30/2

4.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Two in the over for Trent Boult! Bowls this one on a good length, at 141 cliciks, over the off-stump, Sadeera Samarawickrama has no option but to play at it. The ball rises off the deck and catches the outside edge and travels straight to Daryl Mitchell at wide slip who snaffles it with both hands. Sri Lanka are now 3 down inside the first five overs. 32/3

8.2 OUT! LBW! A fantastic review from New Zealand and Trent Boult has another! Sri Lanka in more trouble as the centurion from the last game goes now. Trent Boult angles it in, on a good length, on middle, Charith Asalanka opts to stay back in his crease as he looks to defend. The ball jags back in after pitching and pings him on the front pad before making contact with the back leg. A confident appeal for LBW but turned down! Trent Boult is convinced and Kane Williamson takes the review. Nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. The on-field decision will have to be overturned and Trent Boult gets his third wicket. 70/4

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A lovely variation in pace from Mitchell Santner and he breaks the stand. Throws this one up on a length and around off at just 78.7 clicks, allowing the ball to grip and turn and bounce. Angelo Mathews gets a big stride forward and tries to block but is beaten in the flight and tries to take the gloves out of the way. The ball takes the shoulder of the bat and lobs wide of Daryl Mitchell at first slip and Mitchell takes an easy catch there. Sri Lanka lose their sixth now! 104/6

18.3 OUT! TAKEN! Mitchell Santner has done it again! Floats this one up on a shorter length outside off at just above 81 clicks and allows the ball to grip and turn. Dhananjaya de Silva watches it all the way through and hangs back before deciding to stick out his bat at the last moment and glide it away. The ball though catches the outside edge and goes down to the right of first slip where Daryl Mitchell takes a fine catch and Santner is all pumped up. Sri Lanka in dire straits now. 105/7

23.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The full ball does the trick for Lockie Ferguson! Switches to over the wicket and goes full, in the channel on off, Chamika Karunaratne is rooted to the crease due to the barrage of short balls and drives away from the body. His feet go nowhere and ends up getting a feather on it which is pouched safely, diving in front by Tom Latham. Lockie Ferguson has two and Sri Lanka are now 8 down. 113/8

32.1 OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket right after the interval and Sri Lanka on the verge of being bundled out here. Rachin Ravindra immediately floats this one up outside the off stump at 91 clicks, inviting the drive. Dushmantha Chameera obliges and goes for the drive but doesn't move his feet. Chameera ends up slicing this one uppishly to the right of backward point where Trent Boult completes a simple catch and Ravindra picks up his first wicket of the game. 128/9

46.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Finally, an extremely gritty stand for the last wicket ends and New Zealand breathe a sigh of relief. Rachin Ravindra drifts this one in beautifully onto middle stump and gets it to dip nicely. Dilshan Madushanka is caught on the back foot and tries to block it out but the ball grips and turns away, taking a faint outside edge and the ball is gobbled up by Tom Latham behind the sticks. Sri Lanka are bowled out for 171! 171/10

12.2 OUT! TAKEN! Dushmantha Chameera gets his reward! Devon Conway was looking a bit frustrated after that blow and he departs now. Keeps it on a good length, zoning in at the stumps, Devon Conway wants to put Chameera off his line and length and gives the charge. He moves leg side as well to free his arms to go through the off side. The bat twists in his hands and he ends up miscuing it straight to Dhananjaya de Silva at mid-wicket who takes a low catch. A much-needed breakthrough for Sri Lanka. 86/1

13.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The move to persist with Maheesh Theekshana pays off for Kusal Mendis and Sri Lanka! This is bowled much slower, fuller and on off, Rachin Ravindra gets down on one knee and sees that mid on is inside the circle. He angles his bat face to get it over that man but does not get a proper connection or the elevation. Rachin hits it flat and towards mid off where Dhananjaya de Silva reacts quickly to his right and completes the catch near his chest. New Zealand have now lost both their set batters. 88/2

18.2 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Angelo Mathews gets his man! Keeps it on a short of a length, much closer to the off-stump, Kane Williamson gets a bit cramped for room as he looks to cut this one away from the body. He fails to red the bounce as he gets a bottom edge that deflects back onto the stumps. New Zealand lose their skipper but they are only 42 runs away now. 130/3

22.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A fantastic grab from Charith Asalanka! Angelo Mathews keeps it slower, on a good length, on off, Daryl Mitchell opens himself up to go inside out. He gets deceived by the slowness of the delivery and goes through his shot early. Mitchell lobs it in the air towards deep point where Charith Asalanka covers good ground to his left and puts in a full-length dive. The ball stays in his hands even as his elbow hits the ground. 162/5

20.3 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! Mark Chapman storms off the field and that is poor cricket from New Zealand. Angelo Mathews pitches this one up on middle and leg, Chapman clears the front leg and looks to slog it away but gets an inside edge onto the pads and the ball rolls toward backward point. Chapman is ball-watching while Daryl Mitchell is down at the batter's end. Sadeera Samarawickrama is the man who picks up the ball and throws it back to Mathews and Mitchell makes sure that he gets past Chapman, so when the bails are dislodged Chapman is the one who is out. 145/4
