OUT! Caught. Dunith Wellalage to Jacob Duffy. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, outside edge, caught by Mendis. That's curtains down on New Zealand's innings. New Zealand have scrambled to par total in this tricky pitch. As usual, Sri Lankan bowlers dominated their conditions and restricted the visitors from scoring freely but leaked a few runs in the death overs. Dunith Wellalage picked up three wickets to his name. Michael Bracewell played responsibly and scored 27 runs. Zak Foulkes played a useful cameo towards the end. Join us for the run chase in a while.
