NZ vs SL Live Cricket Score

9.3 OUT! TAKEN! Ish Sodhi draws first blood, but this wicket is all about James Neesham who takes a stunning catch in the deep. This is the leg-spinner, short and on middle, turning away a shy bit, Pathum Nissanka moves back and tries to pull it away, but fails to get underneath the ball and hits it flat and in the air towards deep mid-wicket where James Neesham runs forward and dives to take a terrific low catch. Sri Lanka lose their first wicket! 76/1

13.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Slower one outside off, Kusal Mendis gets an outside edge on this as the ball travels towards short third man where Ish Sodhi makes no mistake and collects this nice and clean to dismiss Kusal Mendis. 122/2

16.5 OUT! RUN OUT! A brilliant effort in the field from Adam Milne and New Zealand gets a wicket out of nothing here. This is full and on middle, Kusal Perera mistimes his slog towards deep mid-wicket for a run, and decides to come back for the second, Adam Milne quickly runs towards the ball, picks it up and hits bullseye at the batter's end with Perera diving to save himself, but he is well short and the replays confirm the same. Sri Lanka three down now! Also, Dasun Shanaka walks out to bat now. 156/3

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Dhananjaya de Silva goes back after a good cameo. Benjamin Lister bowls a slower delivery, full and outside off, Dhananjaya de Silva looks to go big, but has to reach for it and ends up slicing it high in the air towards sweeper covers where Tim Seifert runs forward and takes a nice catch. Sri Lanka four down! 162/4

19 OUT! TAKEN! Adam Milne gets a wicket on the last delivery of his spell!

Sri Lanka lose half their side now! 179/5

19.3 OUT! RUN OUT! Another excellent piece of fielding! This is a low full toss, on middle, Charith Asalanka whips it towards deep square leg and calls for the second, but Mark Chapman is very quick to pounce on the ball and throws at the keeper's end where Tom Latham does the rest. The replays shows that Charith Asalanka is short of his crease and Sri Lanka lose their sixth wicket. 180/6

5.3 OUT! UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! On a length around middle, Chad Bowes looks to flick this but manages a leading edge that balloons in the air toward short point, Kusal Mendis called early for this and collects a good catch covering good ground in front of him. 53/1

16.1 OUT! TAKEN! Short-pitched delivery much slower and wide of off, Tim Seifert reaches out to it and managed to loft this in the hands of Kasun Rajitha at extra cover for a soft dismissal. Had he left this, it would have been called a wide. 154/3

14.1 OUT! TIMBER! Maheesh Theekshana strikes! A dream delivery to get rid of Tom Latham. This is floated outside off, grips and turns in sharply a long way, Tom Latham stays back to push it away, but plays all over it and the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. The partnership is finally broken and New Zealand two down now. 137/2

19.3 OUT! TAKEN! What is happening here! New Zealand are making a mess out of this and this is going down to the wire now.

Full and wide of off, James Neesham leaves this thinking this would be signaled wide and runs for a bye, Kusal Mendis collects the ball and throws to Lahiru Kumara who collects and smashes the stumps on the non-striking end. Wide signaled by the umpire but they lose Neesham too. 180/5
