3.3 OUT! TIMBER! Henry Shipley strikes and the stumps goes flying! He sets up Pathum Nissanka perfectly here. He bowled two outswingers and this time serves this full, on middle, shaping in, Pathum Nissanka looks to block it out with a huge gap between his bat and pad, and the ball does enough to go through that and shatter the stumps. Sri Lanka in early trouble now! 14/2

2.1 OUT! RUN OUT! An absolute disaster for Sri Lanka! They have gifted the first wicket to the Kiwis here. Matt Henry bowls this full and on off, Nuwanidu Fernando drives it firmly through covers, but it slows down a bit as the batters complete two runs. However, Nuwanidu Fernando sets off for the third and does not look at his partner untill he is more than halfway down the pitch and then tries to go back. Blair Tickner from mid off chases and slides in to collect it and gives it to Glenn Phillips who fires a thorw at the keeper's end where Tom Latham does the rest with Nuwanidu Fernando not even close to the crease. The replays confirms the same and Sri Lanka lose their first wicket. 14/1
