45.1: Maheesh Theekshana to Mitchell Hay, 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!

4
44.4: Asitha Fernando to Jacob Duffy, FOUR! Just short! Asitha Fernando bangs it in the pitch and on middle, Jacob Duffy goes for the pull but gets a top edge. The ball goes in the air towards fine leg where Maheesh Theekshana runs forward for the catch but this one bounces well in front of him and then goes over his slide for another boundary. Sloppy again from the Lankans.

0
44.4: Asitha Fernando to Jacob Duffy, Short of a length but angling down the leg side, Jacob Duffy misses his pull. Wided.

1
44.3: Asitha Fernando to Mitchell Hay, Slower one, full and on leg, Mitchell Hay moves across and mistimes his scoop in front of fine leg for a single.

4
44.2: Asitha Fernando to Mitchell Hay, MISFIELD AND FOUR! That brings up the 200 for New Zealand as well! A low full toss, on middle, Mitchell Hay drills it down the ground and wide of long on. Jeffrey Vandersay runs to his left, bends down to collect it but the ball bounces just in front of him, hits his hands and goes away for a boundary.

0
44.1: Asitha Fernando to Mitchell Hay, Fuller in length and just around leg, Mitchell Hay goes down across to scoop it away but fails to connect. It is not called a wide. However, it looks like Hay is suffering from a bit of cramps and the physio is in to check on him.

43.3: Maheesh Theekshana to Ish Sodhi, 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.

4
43.2: Maheesh Theekshana to Ish Sodhi, FOUR! That will help! A boundary after a long, long time! Flatter, short but down the leg side, Ish Sodhi gets inside the line of it and heaves it through backward square leg for a boundary.
