NZ 167-7
A lovely way to finish! Clubbed down the ground for four by Mitch Santner.
A brilliant fightback from New Zealand.
Sri Lanka need 168 to win.

Sodhi run out 0 (NZ 162-7)
Run out by a metre coming back for two.
They just try and scramble an extra run but Ish Sodhi is slow to turn, and is well short.

He's done his job. He gets a shake of the hands from Dhananjaya de Silva. It's been a brilliant innings to light up the SCG.
WICKET
Phillips c Shanaka b Kumara 104 (NZ 162-6)
A remarkable innings comes to an end.
Phillips goes for one big shot too many, and Dasun Shanaka manages to hold on to the catch.
But talk about getting your team out of trouble. Amazing.
NZ 162-5
Amazing. Glenn Phillips, at the non-striker's end, is crouched in a starting position like a sprinter to make sure he can take the single quickly and get the strike back.

An unbelievable shot from Santner. There are not many people in the world who can play that shot.
NZ 161-5
Mitchell Santner joins the party! Up and over the off side for a remarkable six.
His team were in so much trouble. What a knock this has been.
NZ 152-5
And breathe!
It was a wonderful celebration from Phillips, a real roar echoing around the SCG. He seized all the momentum from Sri Lanka after they had New Zealand 25-3, and has punished them since.
He's now on strike for the final over.

Phillips finds the 100! Immediately that helmet is off.
A dance. A delight. He roars with enthusiasm.
What an innings it has been. The Sri Lankan applauders are as keen to recognise that as anyone else.
100 for Glenn Phillips
NZ 152-5
What. An. Innings.
New Zealand were in a right pickle when he came to the crease but he has just played in his usual, brutal way.
Another crunching four brings up his century from 61 balls.
NZ 148-5
A two and a one, and Phillips is back on strike.
Can he do it?

It's bullet straight. He gives himself so much room and gets the reward. He can't be frustrated with that one.
NZ 145-5
Boo. Just a single.
On to 98 but Mitchell Santner has the strike.
NZ 144-5
Thumped down the ground for four and Phillips moves to 97...
NZ 140-5
Ha, this is great.
Phillips misses another slower ball and nearly slams his bat into the ground as Rajitha closes out his over excellently.
He takes a single from the last over to keep the strike, and pats the bowler on the back in recognition of a very good spell - 2-23.
NZ 137-5
A cry of anguish from Glenn Phillips as he misses the second free hit.
