SL vs NZ Live Cricket Score

16.5 OUT! STUMPED! That's beautifully bowled! Young goes, the well-set batter falls. The dropped catch too did not cost a lot. Uses his feet but this time it is spotted. Vandersay slows it up, lands it around off and gets it to spin away. Young looks to defend but is beaten and the keeper, Kusal Mendis does the rest. New Zealand in trouble now. 69/3

1.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Dunith Wellalage comes into the team and strikes straightaway! This is another arm ball, full and on middle and off, angles in and keeps low a bit. Tim Robinson stays back to work it away with an angled bat but misses it completely as the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Robinson falls cheaply and New Zealand are rocked early.! 9/1

8 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Maheesh Theekshana strikes now! He pushes this through quicker almost around 100 clicks. Fuller and around off, angling in sharply. Henry Nicholls stays in his crease and tries to play it away from his body but only manages to get an inside edge back onto his pads and then it rattles the stumps. New Zealand two down now! 31/2

36.1 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! That's a fine catch! Absolutely brilliant. Something special was needed to dismiss Mark Chapman and Avishka Fernando has provided it. This is short and on middle. Chapman nails the pull. He hits it flat though towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder runs in, dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Action replay of Fernando's first catch and Chapman departs for a fine 76 off 81. New Zealand lose half their side now! 173/5

23.1 OUT! TAKEN! Charith Asalanka strikes now! A brilliant catch in the deep just as when things were looking stable, the Kiwis slip further down. This is tossed up, full and around middle, Glenn Phillips goes down and connects with slog sweep nicely. But unfortunately for him, he hits it towards the deep square leg fielder. Avishka Fernando takes a couple of steps forward, dives in and takes a fantastic catch just above the ground. The replay also shows it is a clean catch. Glenn Phillips departs and New Zealand are four down now! 98/4

45.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Maheesh Theekshana wraps things up and Mitchell Hay has been dismissed on 49. Flatter, full and around off, Hay goes down for the reverse sweep but misses as the ball passes very close to the bat and his gloves. There is a huge appeal by the Lankans and they look confident as there is a small noise. However, the umpire says no. Charith Asalanka takes the review, UtraEdge shows a spike when the ball is close to the gloves and the on-field call is overturned. To be fair, even before the decision came on the big screen, Hay started to walk back, and only the umpire was on the field to raise his finger. New Zealand have been bowled out for 209! 209/10

36.5 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. Two in the over and Sri Lanka now well and truly on top. Short and on middle. Bracewell pulls. It goes off the splice towards deep mid-wicket. Avishka Fernando runs in and takes his third catch it with a slide. Great captaincy from Charith Asalanka to put him in that position. Bracewell goes back for a duck! 173/6

40.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another fantastic catch in the deep! Jeffrey Vandersay dishes out a googly, full and around off, turns away. Mitchell Santner backs away and looks to go big but fails to read it and mistimes it high up in the air towards long off. Pathum Nissanka covers a lot of ground to his left and dives in the air to take a stunning catch. The Lankans have been superb with their catching in this game. New Zealand are seven down now! 185/7

40.2 OUT! LBW! TWO IN TWO FOR LANKA! Jeffrey Vandersay with a double strike here with another googly. Fuller and on middle, turning in. Nathan Smith tries to work it across the line but plays down the wrong line and misses getting hit on the front pad first, then the back pad. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. However, Smith takes a review here. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with two reds and that wickets is umpire's call. The Kiwis keep their review but lose Smith for a golden duck. Also, Jeffrey Vandersay is on a hat-trick now! 185/8

43.3 OUT! STUMPED! Excellent work from the keeper here! Maheesh Theekshana fires one full and down the leg side. Ish Sodhi looks to glance it away but misses and loses his balance too as he walks out of the crease. Kusal Mendis grabs it behind the stumps and shows quick reflexes to break the stumps.  The replay shows that Sodhi's bat was in the air and he has to go. He smacks the bat in the ground in frustration and the Kiwis are nine down now. Also, it is called a wide. 199/9

9.5 OUT! TAKEN! Michael Bracewell strikes now! He flights this one up around middle. Pathum Nissanka uses his feet to clear mid on but fails to get underneath the ball. He mistimes it badly and Mark Chapman at mid on leaps up and takes a nice catch. Nissanka once again throws away his wicket after getting to a decent start. 41/2

4.3 OUT! TAKEN! Number one down! Avishka Fernando falls. Century in the last game but not a lot here! On middle. Fernando plays the sweep but it bounces more than he expects. It goes more off the top edge and it goes straight to deep square leg where Henry Nicholls pouches it safely. An early wicket for the Kiwis, just what they wanted! 23/1

11.2 OUT! Edged and taken! That is lovely bowling from Michael Bracewell. Three down now. Sri Lanka in a spot of bother. Slower and around off. This lands and turns away. Kamindu looks to drive but it goes off the outside edge and the keeper, Mitchell Hay takes a sharp catch. 46/3

15.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Michael Bracewell has three now! There was no need of that shot and the Lankan skipper walks back to the hut now. This is flighted, full and around off, turns away a bit. Charith Asalanka steps out to go over mid off this time, but due to the turn, he only manages to slice it in the air. The ball lobs straight towards short thrid where Ish Sodhi takes a dolly. Sri Lanka four down now and in a bit of trouble! 65/4

21.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The man with the golden arm strikes! Sri Lanka lose half their side now and the stand which was moving along well has been broken! Outside off. Shortish. Sadeera looks to cut but this goes off the outside edge and it is taken nicely by the keeper, Mitchell Hay. Still over 100 needed. 93/5

32 OUT! Gloved and taken! The pacer comes on and strikes! Yet again a stand that was going along nicely has been broken! This is short and on the body. Janith looks to pull but ends up gloving it to Mitchell Hay who makes no mistake. Still, 78 more needed. Into the all-rounders now are the Kiwis. 132/6

36.1 OUT! TAKEN! Just what New Zealand needed and this game is still very much alive. Flatter, full and on leg, angling in, Dunith Wellalage backs away to loft it away but fails to get underneath it. He fails to get the elevation and Ish Sodhi at mid on use full advantage of his height and grabs it above his head with a good leap. Wellalage departs after a nice little cameo but Sri Lanka lose their seventh wicket now! 163/7
