Mitchell Santner 1-36(3 ov)
14.6
Santner to Kusal Perera, FOUR, dropped. Duffy drops it and the ball hits his hands and goes into the fence. Was a tossed up delivery, Kusal Perera went for the reverse hack. The ball went off the top-edge. The fielder ran back and got hands to it but failed to maintain his balance. The NZ fielders have dropped a couple of chances today and that might as well cost them dearly
14.5
Santner to Asalanka, 1 run, short, wide, slashed down into the off-side for a single
14.4
Santner to Asalanka, SIX, flat-batted over long-off. This is turning out to be a big over. Was short, outside off, Asalanka slapped it over the head of the man at long-off. Asalanka is dealing in sixes
14.3
Santner to Asalanka, SIX, flatter, 96 kph, at the sticks and heaved over the man at deep mid. Was hit so hard and well over the fence
14.2
Santner to Kusal Perera, 1 run, tossed up delivery, outside off, sweeps the ball down to deep mid for a single
14.1
Santner to Kusal Perera, FOUR, fifty of the partnership for the duo as well. Was a length delivery, Kusal Perera went for the reverse and managed to send it over the man at short third man. He preempted that well
7.6
Santner to Kusal Perera, FOUR, and four more. 94.7 kph, flighted delivery, Kusal Perera sat down and managed to get enough wood to send it over short third man for a four. That was done well by the batter as he managed to execute it well. Looked a little like a top-edge but went over
7.5

4.6
Santner to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! Bracewell takes a good catch over his shoulder by running to his right. Was a shortish delivery at 96.9 clicks. Kusal Mendis looked to pull and got a top-edge on the shot. The man from mid-wicket ran to his right and took a good sharp catch. NZ have another scalp in the powerplay. And the skipper once again has struck in his first over. Kusal Mendis tried to take on the bowler but has perished. The line wasn't great for the batter as the ball angled in a little and cramped him for room. That induced the top-edge I feel. Kusal Mendis c Michael Bracewell b Santner 22(16) [4s-2 6s-1]
