Glenn Phillips is Superman once again, this time with bat
His hundred - so far above the rest of the batting seen in the game - will go down as one of the finest innings in the format
Shanaka: 'Dropped catches were a game changer'
"The worst we've played with the bat" - the Sri Lanka captain also asks his batters to regroup after they crashed to 8 for 4
'It was very much spur of the moment' - Phillips on his innovative sprinter's start position
Suggests it would help him avoid the risk of being run-out backing up at the non-striker's end
The future is uncertain, so savour Boult and Southee while you can
They're hoping this won't be their last global event together, but Boult's decision to step away from his NZC contract could complicate the issue
'Adaptable' Mitchell looking forward to 'cool challenge' of batting at No. 5
His finger injury is not quite completely healed but it won't impede him from playing against Sri Lanka
Preview
