6.4
Santner to Nissanka, no run, big shout for LBW, not given and New Zealand have reviewed, was it an inside edge onto the pad? Looks like there's no bat and Nissanka could be in trouble here. UltraEdge confirms that there was no bat, onto ball-tracking: It's umpire's call on hitting, will stay with the on-field call. Nissanka will feel he got away here - was the slider and he was beaten on the inside edge as he pressed forward, was struck on the back-leg, the impact was in front of middle and leg. Santner looks disconsolate and frustrated as the original call went against him
6.3
Santner to Nissanka, FOUR, Nissanka brings out the slog-sweep, was tossed up invitingly and he couldn't resist, gets a massive top-edge and the ball drops in no man's land, the fielder runs across in the deep, stops and then looks to throw it to the fielder getting around, but as he did so, his feet slipped and was in contact with the ropes, given as a boundary - Young, the fielder

4.4
Santner to Kusal Mendis, no run, beauty, tossed up on off, brings Kusal forward and then rips past the outside edge
4.3
Santner to Avishka Fernando, out Caught by Nicholls!! Catching practice at deep square leg - Nicholls was placed to perfection, he has plenty of time to settle under, goes reverse cupped and holds on with ease. That's the first wicket for New Zealand. Was nicely tossed up on middle and Avishka shaped for the sweep, but it's the extra bounce that's his undoing, gets a fat top-edge and holes out to the deep. New Zealand need wickets if they're to defend 209, they've got their first. Avishka Fernando c Nicholls b Santner 5(9) [4s-1]
