Jeffrey Vandersay to Ross Taylor, FOUR, this has been a sorry over. Another absolute horror ball. Short and down leg. Taylor marauds the pull behind square. Lights up the grass on the way to the fence

Jeffrey Vandersay to Ross Taylor, FOUR, flatter, quicker but again drifting down leg, a tripe ball. Taylor pulls it fine beating the man in the ring

Jeffrey Vandersay to Ross Taylor, FOUR, sliding down leg, Taylor moves his foot across to get inside the line and helps it on its way fine with a cute little paddle

T Perera to Williamson, FOUR, makes room to a slower back of a length delivery on the stumps, unfurls those wrists and punches it through the off-side
2.1 -
Chameera to Latham, FOUR, oh my word. What a cracking punch. On the up and past mid-off. Presses forward to a length ball and packs a punch

T Perera to Guptill, FOUR, fraction full and Guptill has torn into it. Clears his front leg and pummels it over mid-off for a one-bounce four

Chameera to Guptill, SIX, short ball and there she goes. "Don't bowl short to me". He should put that on a T-shirt. Transfers his weight on the backfoot and powders the pull over mid-wicket

Chameera to Guptill, SIX, now Chameera tries the change-up. And must be thinking why on Earth. Rolls his fingers across the side of the ball, delivers the attempted leg-cutter on a fuller length, and is slogged straight back. Oh geez, this bloke can strike clean
2.3 -
Chameera to Guptill, SIX, Guptill has donned the role of a missile launcher. Just catapulting it over the ropes with a brutal swing of the arms. Full outside off, hoisted over extra-cover

Chameera to Williamson, out Caught&Bowled!! Another one. Williamson gets done in by the squishy nature of the pitch. Has been under covers for the most part so this is bound to happen. Bowled on a length around off and middle, Williamson looks to work it through the on-side but ends up closing the bat-face too early. The leading edge pops up back towards the bowler. Chameera is well aware in his followthrough. Williamson c and b Chameera 12(12) [4s-1]

N Kulasekara to Guptill, out Lbw!! Big wicket. Big, big wicket. The dasher is gone. Walked right across his stumps looking to play the pick up shot. The only thing he could pick is his head to locate the dressing room. Credit to Kulasekara. Harpooned it in the blockhole on the stumps. Guptill tried to whip across the line but failed to connect and got thudded on the boot. Buh bye. Guptill lbw b N Kulasekara 27(14) [4s-1 6s-3]

T Perera to Latham, out Caught by Chandimal!! Runs it off the bat-face straight to the keeper. Actually it might have been a faint edge. Back of a length delivery pushed into the corridor outside off, Latham looks to run it down. But only ends up giving catching practice. Latham c Chandimal b T Perera 9(8) [4s-1]
