Santner 3-12(4 ov)
15.6
Santner to Udana, no run, fuller and quicker on middle and off, defended well off the front foot
15.5
Santner to Udana, no run, rips past the edge! Looped up around off stump, draws Udana forward and then this spins away to whiz past the blade
15.4
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, out Lbw!! Santner's smartness on display yet again. Got the batsman thinking with two rippers that spun sharply and then slipped in the quicker one at the stumps. Madushanka's muddled mind made him move across the sticks for the flick but he was hurried by the quicker one to be rapped on the pad right in front of the stumps. Looked dead in real time and the umpire's finger went up in slow-mo. SL are being dented here just before the slog overs, just like the previous game. Lahiru Madushanka lbw b Santner 20(23) [4s-1]
15.3
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, no run, and again! A replica of the previous ball, drifts in from well outside off and spins sharply to beat the outside edge by a mile
15.2
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, no run, turns away sharply from a good length as Madushanka pushes at it. Beaten!
15.1
Santner to Wanidu Hasaranga, 1 run, fuller and outside off, Hasaranga dabs it towards cover for a single
12.6
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, 1 run, much slower this time, gets it to spin away from Madushanka who had to really reach for this. Pats it softly in front of cover as they sneak a single
12.5
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, no run, the fizzy arm ball from Santner, kept coming in with the angle and crampoed Madushanka who managed to get his bat down in time. Jams it onto the pad
12.4
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, 2 runs, drifting into Madushanka who works it into the gap at mid-wicket for a brace
12.3
Santner to Shanaka, 1 run, slower and fuller on leg stump, dug out down to long-on
12.2
Santner to Dickwella, out Caught by Munro!! Dickwella runs out of fuel. His trigger movements around the crease are what gets him going but on days like this, it also backfires for him. Gave his cards away early by shuffling across the sticks and Santner cleverly hung it in the air on a middle and leg line. Induces a top edge off the sweep and it's a comfortable catch for short fine leg. Considering the nature of this surface, this is a big blow for the Lankans, given Dickwella's spin-attacking abilities. Dickwella c Munro b Santner 24(15) [4s-3]
12.1
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, 1 run, fuller and outside off, tapped towards cover for a single
9.6
Santner to Dickwella, 2 runs, not really off the middle but clears backward point comfortably. The fielder in the ring chases it down as the batsmen get a brace. Was one of Dickwella's cheeky reverse sweeps, wasn't in total control but got what he wanted by clearing the infield
9.5
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, 1 run, loopy and full outside off, Madushanka keeps it out with a push to cover
9.4
Santner to Dickwella, 1 run, fuller and flatter, Dickwella drills it down to long-on
9.3
Santner to Lahiru Madushanka, 1 run, slower and fuller outside off, Madushanka nudges it towards cover for a sharp single
9.2
Santner to Dickwella, 1 run, flatter again, follows Dickwella whose attempted flick results in an inside edge on the pad this time and dribbles to cover
9.1
Santner to Dickwella, no run, slides this across Dickwella who looks to work it across the line but is beaten
4.6
Santner to Avishka Fernando, no run, fires it in this time, on a good length and Fernando knocks it to mid-wicket. It's a wicket-maiden! That's rare in this format, ain't it?
4.5
Santner to Avishka Fernando, no run, clever from Santner, mixes up his pace so well. Slowed this down considerably, tempting Fernando into a booming shot but he could only get an inside edge onto the pads
4.4
Santner to Avishka Fernando, no run, keeps it on middle and off with an arm ball, Fernando pats it gently towards cover
4.3
Santner to Avishka Fernando, no run, flatter and straighter, Fernando gets across and nudges it to mid-wicket
4.2
Santner to Avishka Fernando, no run, slower and fuller outside off, Fernando leans forward and blocks to cover
4.1
Santner to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Todd Astle!! What a soft dismissal! So soft that it didn't look like a wicket delivery at all. Not much celebration among the Kiwis either. Must say that Perera threw it away here. Was leg stumpish and he was too eager to force the pace but only ended up skewing it to short fine leg. It was going rapidly and Astle in the ring did well to move quickly to his left to take the catch. Kusal Perera c Todd Astle b Santner 3(12)
