SL vs NZ Live Cricket Score

1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Just simple seam bowling from Tim Southee and Pathum Nissanka has nicked off yet again. Southee floats the ball up on off stump at a gentle pace and gets it to nip away, sharply as well. Nissanka is halfway forward and pushes at it but the ball catches the outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. Tom Blundell takes a simple catch to his right and Sri Lanka are 2/1 at the end of the first over.  2/1

39.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Catastrophic for Sri Lanka and Dimuth Karunaratne will be livid while walking off the field. Mitchell Santner tosses the ball up on middle, Karunaratne comes forward and flicks it wide of Glenn Phillips at mid-wicket and starts to run. Dinesh Chandimal is caught ball-watching and Karunaratne has to scurry back while almost being at the bowler's end. Phillips makes a fine stop but his throw at the keeper's end is a weak one. Thankfully for New Zealand, Tom Latham is at short leg and he picks up the ball before flicking it back onto the stumps. The stand of 122 runs is broken as Karunaratne departs for 46.  124/2

72.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! That was the breakthrough New Zealand was looking for and Glenn Phillips snags one at a crucial time! GP pushes it through but drags his length a bit as he sees Chandimal skipping down the track. The ball lands around off and turns in degrees at the off stump. Dinesh Chandimal gets a bit cramped up for room and loses his shape as well as he tries to hit it too hard with the turn. Misses to connect and the ball shatters the pegs. Sri Lanka 3 men down now as Dinesh Chandimal departs on 116 (208). Glenn Phillips breaks the 97-run partnership for the third wicket.  221/3
