    You cannot be bowling no balls at this stage of the game.

  2. NZ 137-5

    Just two from the free hit...

    BUT it's another no-ball! He has to bowl another. Sri Lanka have lost it.

  3. NZ 135-5

    A low full toss is heaved away for four, and Glenn Phillips is on to 90.

    Oh and it's a no-ball!! From bad to worse for Sri Lanka. I praised their bowlers too soon.

  4. Their fielding has been poor, but Sri Lanka's bowlers have generally done very well.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Just gone deep in his crease to hit it over extra cover has Neesham. But really pats it to extra. He couldn't quite get going.

    WICKET

    Neesham c Dasun b Rajitha 5 (NZ 129-5)

    Another!

    Glenn Phillips may be wreaking havoc but at least Sri Lanka are chipping away at the other end.

    Jimmy Neesham tries to join the boundary-hitting party but clubs it straight to cover instead.

  7. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    A win for this Sri Lanka side would see them be top of the group. There's an awful lot riding on this.

  8. NZ 129-4

    16 runs from that over, completely ruining Maheesh Theekshana's figures.

    He had bowled two overs, 1-7 before it.

  9. 6 runs

    NZ 127-4

    Brutal. Just brutal.

    Absolutely pummelled over long-on this time and Sri Lanka have no answers to him.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's such a remarkable shot. He goes forward and goes back and heaves it with so much bottom hand. What a shot!

  11. 6 runs

    NZ 121-4

    Oh, that is unreal.

    Glenn Phillips is pretty much batting outside leg stump, showing the bowler all three.

    He rocks on to the back foot and slices it over cover for six.

  12. NZ 113-4

    What a recovery from New Zealand, having been 25-3. If Phillips can stay there for another four overs, then we're in for some fun.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a wonderful shot. 89m. Dhananjaya doesn't even try to stop it.

  14. 6 runs

    NZ 112-4

    Glenn Phillips.

    Can bat.

    Smashed down the ground and he moves on to 72 from 48 balls.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    They did need that wicket to break that partnership and stop the flow of runs.

  16. NZ 102-4

    The question for Sri Lanka now is how they get rid of Glenn Phillips.

    Two from the final ball concludes a good spell for Hasaranga, with 1-22.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Mitchell was looking to go into the leg side. It's not got up anywhere near as much as he thought.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Mitchell b Hasaranga 22 (NZ 99-4)

    Hasaranga fights back.

    Daryl Mitchell loses his stumps trying to whack the spinner through the leg side and Sri Lanka really needed that.

    They've just lost a bit of control in the past three or four overs. Can they bring it back?

  19. Stuart Clark
    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    Lovely hands from Phillips. He had to hit it beautifully and he has pierced the gap. The timing was exquisite.

  20. NZ 98-3

    Slashed over cover for four more.

    Phillips is into a very dangerous groove now.
