00:00Getting nicely settled at the crease now would have been really happy with that last shot
00:15Easy catch didn't have to move really
00:30A trudge back to the pavilion. A disappointing display in the end. For someone with such
00:46batting skills this goes down as a fail The field will come up now you'd think. Pressure
00:51should definitely be on the new batter who strides to the middle. They will be looking
00:56for another quick wicket. Got right in behind it. Negated the spin well there and got nicely
01:06on top of the bounce. Right over the top of it. Nicely smothering the spin there
01:26Very full. Spray the ball a bit with their content leaving
01:56it alone
02:08Quick on to that in the infield
02:22Asaranga has had a pretty good over. Just needed a bit more luck to find a wicket
02:36Nice solid defensive shot. Right on top of the spin keeps it out well
02:41Mix up there. They've been going so well out in the middle. The first sign of miscommunication
02:59As they head back to the pavilion they'll be wishing they went about this innings a
03:21little differently. Not too much to speak of on the scoreboard. A new batter always
03:26likes to feel bat on ball early on as they bring a bit of energy to the crease
03:37Timed it nicely. They'll look for a couple you'd think
03:43A couple on offer here. Jameson gets off the mark. Massive edge. Couldn't get it through
04:01the field. Let's see if they can get the ball up into the slot like before. So crucial
04:14to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure. Huge edge. Over. New
04:21Zealand are 104 for 6. Asaranga on the hospital end. Waiting.
04:49Solid defence. Very compact.
05:14No interest in that one from the batter. Asaranga will be wanting to hone in on a better
05:18line and length to make them play next time. You can understand why on that line they
05:30thought it was safe to let it straight through to the keeper.
05:55Straight to the fielder. A little late on that and they're on score. Well that's the end of a great display of bowling. No score from it. Nicely putting pressure on the batters.
06:06Just through the shot too early.
06:23That was a good slower ball. Picked up well though. Got that defensive shot in nice and simple.
06:41Obviously didn't like the look of that one and just ignored it.
07:04Nice shot. Runs possible.
07:13Good return there. Back from the deep. Surprised it didn't go for a third. Would have been a very simple run.
07:34Yes. Well timed. But there's a fielder out there.
07:50Maybe they didn't pick it up. Very late on the shot.
08:11End of the over. Four runs coming from it. New Zealand are 108 for six.
08:26Very full. Sprayed the ball a bit but they're content to leave it alone.
08:40Still honing in on their lines. The batter happy to let it go through.
08:55Waiting. Hit that well off the back foot but couldn't beat the field.
09:11A well directed short ball sways out of the way.
09:26No interest on that occasion to play at the ball.
09:40Yep. They'll push hard. Should get back for two.
09:52Surprised they didn't go for a third. Would have been a very simple run.
09:56That's the end of the over. Two runs added. New Zealand are 110 for six.
