| 82.5 | OUT | Nuwan Kulasekara to Boult, out Bowled!! The new ball has done the trick, this was full and nips back in sharply, Boult was caught in his crease, ends up playing all around the in-dipper, the ball goes on to hit the top of middle. NZ have been bowled out for 221. Boult b Nuwan Kulasekara 7(9) [4s-1] | 221/10 |
| 80.5 | FOUR | Eranga to Boult, FOUR, nicely done by Boult, this was short and just outside off, Boult gets across and cracks a lovely looking cover drive, beats the man in the ring and races away to the fence in a hurry | 217/9 |
| 78.4 | OUT | Eranga to Southee, out Caught by Mathews!! Good catch from Mathews! This was a length ball and just outside off, Southee went for the ambitious drive, gets a thick outside edge that flies in the air and towards backward point. It was dying on Mathews but he dives forward and clasps it with both hands. Eranga gets his third wicket. Southee c Mathews b Eranga 16(37) [4s-1] | 207/9 |
| 72.4 | OUT | Herath to van Wyk, out Bowled!! Herath gets 5. The sweep shot goes awry for Wyk, this was fired in quicker and on off, not the kind of ball that you would look to sweep, Wyk has been pretty successful with that shot until now, attempts it once again, the ball sneaks through and crashes into the off-stump. Another batsman gets a start and fails to convert it into a bigger one. van Wyk b Herath 28(49) [4s-3] | 196/8 |
| 70.5 | FOUR | Herath to Southee, FOUR, Southee will play his shots, gets well forward to a nicely tossed up ball and swings it with the spin, no one deep at mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes | 191/7 |
| 68.2 | OUT | Herath to Doug Bracewell, out Caught by Mahela Jayawardene!! Doug Bracewell c Mahela Jayawardene b Herath 12(25) [4s-1] | 181/7 |

| 80.2 | OUT | Boult to Eranga, out Caught by Doug Bracewell!! It's all over, pitched up delivery on off, Eranga wanted to go over the top, but mis-hits it straight to Bracewell at mid on. Eranga c Doug Bracewell b Boult 4(10) [4s-1] | 247/10 |
| 78.3 | FOUR | Boult to Eranga, FOUR, back of a length delivery just outside off and angling across, Eranga waits on the back foot and cuts it away to square third man | 247/9 |
| 77.3 | OUT | Jeetan Patel to Nuwan Kulasekara, out Caught&Bowled!! A tame dismissal in the end, tossed up delivery on off, Kulasekara gets forward and drives it uppishly straight into the hands of the bowler, Jeetan Patel will not get an easier catch than this in his career. Nuwan Kulasekara c and b Jeetan Patel 8(31) [4s-1] | 242/9 |
| 76.5 | FOUR | Doug Bracewell to Herath, FOUR, fullish delivery on off, Herath backs away and lofts it to long off, he didn't time it well, but there was no one in the deep and the ball races away to the fence | 242/8 |
| 74 | FOUR | Jeetan Patel to Herath, FOUR, tossed up delivery on the stumps, Herath gets down and connects the sweep shot well, the ball races away to deep square leg fence | 233/8 |
| 73.3 | OUT | Jeetan Patel to Mahela Jayawardene, out Caught by van Wyk!! Patel has taken the big fish here, tossed up delivery on middle, Jayawardene gets down to sweep and the ball lobs off his gloves and was going towards short leg, the keeper reacted quickly and dives low to take a one-handed catch near the wicket, all the fielders go up, but Mahela walks away even before the umpire had raised his finger. Mahela Jayawardene c van Wyk b Jeetan Patel 91(176) [4s-11 6s-1] | 229/8 |

| 44.1 | OUT | Randiv to Boult, out Caught by Mahela Jayawardene!! edged and gone! That is the end of the innings as well, this was drifted on off, Boult was playing for the spin, gets a thick outside edge that is well held by Mahela at 1st slip moving to his left. Herath leads the Lankan players off the ground. Boult c Mahela Jayawardene b Randiv 13(18) [6s-2] | |
| 42.5 | SIX | Randiv to Boult, SIX, this is massive! Randiv came from round the wicket and drifts this one on middle, Boult shimmies down, sets himself up and sends it soaring deep into the stands at mid-wicket | 116/9 |
| 42.4 | SIX | Randiv to Boult, SIX, nicely struck by Boult, goes down on his knees, fetches this one from well outside off and slog sweeps it over wide deep mid-wicket for a maximum | 110/9 |
| 39.4 | FOUR | Herath to van Wyk, FOUR, too short from Herath, Wyk waits on it and cuts it past point, beats the man out in the deep | 102/9 |
| 37.4 | OUT | Herath to Jeetan Patel, out Caught by Karunaratne!! This dismissal just sums up New Zealand's day. This was short and on the pads, Patel flicked it in the air towards short leg. Karunaratne can't manage to hold onto the catch, the ball ends up getting stuck in between his legs, freak dismisal number three in this innings. Jeetan Patel c Karunaratne b Herath 0(1) | 97/9 |
| 37 | OUT | Randiv to Southee, out Stumped!! Another unlucky dismissal, New Zealand do not seem to enjoy any luck so far. This was a freak dismissal, well flighted on off, Southee looks to work it towards the onside, misses and is struck on the pads. The momemtum takes him out of the crease even as the ball dribbles away towards the keeper. Prasanna picks up the ball and whips the bails off with Southee struggling to make his way back. Southee st Prasanna Jayawardene b Randiv 16(14) [4s-2 6s-1] | 96/8 |
