0.6
Malinga to Munro, no run, very full and just outside off, drew Munro into the drive and beat his outside edge, took off after passing the batsman and Dickwella has to leap to prevent byes
0.5
Malinga to Munro, SIX, the small boundaries here at the Eden Park and even a mishit as this one sails all the way. The slower one from Malinga and Munro was completely done in by it, was too early on the lofted off-drive, went high and has enough to clear the ropes comfortably
0.5
Malinga to Munro, wide, very full and sliding down the leg-side, Munro was looking to flick and missed, called as a wide
0.4
Malinga to Guptill, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Malinga has struck early, this is a big wicket for the visitors. Short of a length and at the stumps, was climbing onto Guptill who fancied the short-arm pull. didn't get on top of the bounce and all he managed was a thick top-edge, high and to the right of mid-on. Mendis called for the skier and held on even as he tumbled onto the ground. The umpire wants to have a look at Malinga's front-foot, but he's fine on that count as well. Guptill c Kusal Mendis b Malinga 1(3)
