17.1: Kasun Rajitha to James Neesham, OUT! CAUGHT! Kasun Rajitha comes back for his final over and strikes immediately. Rajitha bowls this one slower at just 109 KPH and on a hard length, well outside off. James Neesham has to wait for it and in the end, also has to reach out for it. Neesham tries to loft it over covers but can't get much timing on it. The ball comes flat and to the left of the man at cover. Dasun Shanaka over there is quick to react and moves to that side to take the catch. Neesham departs early and Sri Lanka now have a chance of tightening the screws.

19.2: Ish Sodhi to Lahiru Kumara, OUT! STUMPED! That completes a comprehensive win for New Zealand! Ish Sodhi flights a googly full and outside the off stump, Lahiru Kumara charges down the wicket and looks to heave the ball to the leg side. He is unable to connect as the ball beats his outside edge and Devon Conway makes no mistake in collecting the ball before whipping the bails off. New Zealand have now won their second game and cement their position at the top of the table.
