Welcome back.. Sri Lanka have some momentum after pulling things back. Now can their batters stand up and make themselves counted? We'll find out soon as the duo of Dilshan and Gunathilaka make their way out to the middle. Matt Henry to start proceedings. Here we go...
Sri Lanka would be happy with the final total. With the way Guptill and Williamson started, 200 was a bare minimum. The opening pair set off in blazing fashion, Guptill in particular took a liking to the fast bowlers and got to his fifty off just 31 balls. However, after his departure even Williamson lost his timing and the Sri Lankan bowlers kept chipping away at the wickets. Cameos from Munro and Taylor ensured New Zealand reach a competitive score. The visitors should fancy their chances. Will they be able to chase this down? Or will the Black Caps once again pip them? Join us in a short while for the chase...

19.6 -
T Perera to Ross Taylor, wide, slower delivery drifting away from the tramline outside off, Taylor gets across but it was too wide to make any connection
19.5 -

19.4 -

T Perera to Elliott, 1 run, another one that's full and just outside off, Elliott drives through extra cover for an easy single
19.1 -
T Perera to Elliott, FOUR, Elliott backs away and smacks this fullish delivery from Thisara Perera. He flays this over infield on the off-side and once it beat the fielder it was always going to be a boundary. It was hit over the cover fielder and there was no one in the deep
Thisara Perera [2.0-0-25-0] is back into the attack
18.6 -
N Kulasekara to Elliott, 1 run, run-out chance missed again! This time it's Siriwardana from extra cover who misses out on the direct hit.

18.5 -
N Kulasekara to Elliott, 2 runs, gets across and flicks this through mid-wicket for a couple of runs

N Kulasekara to Munro, THAT'S OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!
18.1 -
N Kulasekara to Munro, no run, back-of-the-hand slower delivery from Kulasekara. Munro didn't read it. Looks to force it through the off-side, ball clips the pad and sneaks past the leg-stump
Nuwan Kulasekara [3.0-0-21-1] is back into the attack
17.6 -
Lakmal to Munro, 1 run, run-out chance missed! Munro drives this fullish delivery towards extra cover and immediately calls for a quick single. He'd given up mid-way but the throw from the fieldsman wasn't accurate (at the bowler's end)
17.5 -
Lakmal to Munro, SIX, doesn't matter how it comes but Munro will take it. He is trying every possible way to get a four/six. Now he walks forward and across to smoke this length delivery high and sailing over deep-midwicket
17.4 -

16.3 -
Jeffrey Vandersay to Munro, 1 run, dropped. That was a sitter and you can't afford to drop those. Especially in this format of the game. Munro reverses his stance and tries a similar stroke which he did a couple of overs ago. Got a big booming top-edge on that and deep backward point looked settled under it. He somehow allowed the ball to burst through his hands, poor stuff that
16.2 -

Trent Boult is the Man of the Match for his superb spell with the ball. His bowling figures read: 4-0-21-3.
New Zealand fielding was top-class as ever and they hardly let off any chances that came their way. With 13 needed from the last 6 balls, Elliott held his nerve and rarely offered any freebies. He did offer one - the last ball that is - but the match was decided by then. Sri Lankan top-order has been a huge disappointment and they would surely like to put that to bed in the final game of this tour.
If you ask me to describe how Sri Lanka went about their chase, I would rather put it this way: Gunathilaka, Siriwardana and Thisara Perera (to an extent) were the only batsmen who showed intent and application. The rest of the batsmen were just mere visitors. Although Kapugedera and Kulasekara smashed a few towards the end, it proved to be a little too late for the tourisrts. The wickets clock in the Sri Lankan scoreboard sounded like this: nil, tik-tik-tik-tik meaning they lost 4 wickets inside 5 overs.
19.6 -
Elliott to Jeffrey Vandersay, FOUR, That's it. Sri Lanka's woes continue in New Zealand. First the Test series, next the ODIs and now in the T20Is. The hosts go 1-0 up in the series. Coming to the final delivery: Slower and slinging down leg, Vandersay helps it with a scoop past short fine leg but that won't help Sri Lanka's cause
19.5 -
Elliott to Lakmal, 1 run, very full outside off, Lakmal squeezes the drive to cover. That must be the game for New Zealand!
Suranga Lakmal, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.4 -
Elliott to Kapugedera, out Kapugedera Run Out!! 1 run completed. So New Zealand can't lose it from here. Unless they bowl something filthy. It was more of a hara-kiri from Sri Lanka. But they had to do so to get closer to the target. Kapugedera nails this full delivery towards long-on and yells out "two, two, two" to his partner. Jeffrey Vandersay responds but to be honest there was never a two there. Ball was flinged to Ronchi meaning Kapugedera was caught short by a long way. Kapugedera run out (Guptill/Ronchi) 17(15) [4s-2]
Elliott to Kapugedera, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!
Jeffrey Vandersay, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.3 -
Elliott to N Kulasekara, out Caught by Boult!! Is this the game for New Zealand? I think so. Timely wicket and Williamson is a delighted man. Slower delivery from Elliott, Kulasekara heaves it. Gets the elevation but no timing whatsoever. Ball swirls high in the air towards Boult at deep mid-wicket who steadies himself and accepts it gleefully. N Kulasekara c Boult b Elliott 14(10) [6s-1]
Elliott to N Kulasekara, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
19.2 -
Elliott to Kapugedera, leg byes, 1 run, floated around off, Kapugedera tries to work it into the leg-side, in fact he was looking to sweep I reckon. Beaten by the slowness of the delivery, gets hit on the pad but the impact was well outside off and an easy call for the umpire

18.4 -
McClenaghan to N Kulasekara, 2 runs, slog, slog, slog - that's how Kulasekara's mind reads right now. He is hitting the ball hard and this time he biffs the drive towards long-on. Calls for a risky second and Kapugedera had to dive to make his ground, the throw was a poor one though
18.3 -
McClenaghan to N Kulasekara, no run, dug in short and angled across, Kulasekara was ages early on the pull, could only connect with fresh air
