11:14am Quite a frantic hour and a half of play. New Zealand began the day in control but then, without any warning or intimation, lost it. Mitchell's run-out triggered that sequence and they were still trailing by a run when nine down. Phillips, though, channeled his T20 beast thereafter, putting the bowlers to the sword and clearing the fence whenever he could, putting together 36 for the last wicket, of which O'Rourke scored none. That has given the Kiwis a nice 35-run cushion, which they will now want to exploit, given how the pitch is behaving.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will be quietly pleased with how they came back, although the last-wicket stand did frustrate them. Jayasuriya bowled much better today, as did Ramesh Mendis - the former finishing with four scalps, while the latter bagged three. This game is still not beyond reach (not by any stretch) but they will now have to be at their best with the bat to wipe off the deficit. We will be back shortly with SL's second innings.

Ramesh again. Around the wicket. Almost everyone out on the fence. But if Phillips middles it, those fielders might be redundant anyway

SL are going searching for that last wicket and have lost the consistency that has brought them wickets this morning

Five fielders around the bat again

Prakash : "This is why lower order doesn't need to score runs but hang on at one end"

Two balls to survive for O'Rourke again. Plenty of company around the bat

Ramesh to continue from around the wicket

Grubb: "Frustrating from NZ. Yet again we squander a potentially matchwinning position with flippant play. Just not learning from our mistakes. In fact, the repetition is so tedious it seems we may not even consider them mistakes. "

Jayasuriya has two balls at O'Rourke now (potentially). Two slips, a leg slip and a short leg in place, to go with a leg gully

One ball for O'Rourke to survive in the over
