15 January 2015 - day/night match (50-over match)

New Zealand innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
MJ Guptill	c Mathews b Kulasekara	10	27	19	2	0	52.63
6.4 gone! The shot seemed to be on, full and wide, and Guptill tried to launch it over mid-off. Didn't make the connection he wanted, didn't get the elevation he wanted, and he hit it straight to the fielder 35/1
BB McCullum*	c & b Mendis	117	117	99	12	5	118.18
30.1 got him! No 200 for McCullum. It was nicely tossed up on off stump, and it wasn't as full as McCullum thought. He checked his drive, and popped it back to Mendis, who took a good low return catch tumbling to his left 158/3
TWM Latham	c †Sangakkara b Herath	5	24	15	0	0	33.33
12.6 gone! That was fired across very quick, back of a length. Latham looked to cut, it was too close to him, and he ended up nicking to the keeper 73/2
LRPL Taylor	c Perera b Herath	34	96	69	2	0	49.27
36.3 ...but that doesn't matter. Herath gets him next ball. He goes for the sweep again, is hurried into the shot by the pace of the ball, and top-edges it high in the air, and Perera settles under it comfortably at short fine leg 183/5
DL Vettori	run out (Mendis/†Sangakkara)	7	13	8	1	0	87.50
33.2 Dilshan to Taylor, He's gone now, Vettori is walking. Taylor goes back to a length ball going across him and works it into the leg side. They go for the single despite the fact that it was hit almost straight to the fielder at short midwicket. Sangakkara did very well to collect Mendis' throw and disturb the bails in one smooth motion, and Vettori knew he was out even though the square leg umpire went upstairs. He was a good couple of yards outside the crease. 171/4
CJ Anderson	run out (Mathews/†Sangakkara)	5	25	14	0	0	35.71
37.6 from Dilshan, Another! This is disastrous from New Zealand. Great work from Mathews at straight midwicket, dives to his right to intercept that back foot punch from Anderson, who set off for the single, thinking he had beaten the fielder. He was stranded halfway down the pitch when Mathews threw to Sangakkara, who had enough time to grab a little snack before taking the bails off if he so wished. 185/7
L Ronchi†	run out (Dilshan/†Sangakkara)	0	2	0	0	0	-
36.5 Herath to Anderson, Another run-out. What's happening here, New Zealand? It's on the pads, and he tucks it towards short midwicket and sets off. It was straight to Dilshan, and Ronchi - who didn't look like he wanted to run the single but responded to his partner's call anyway - is beaten quite easily by the throw, right over the bails, leaving Sanga an easy job of completing the dismissal 183/6
NL McCullum	run out (Jayawardene)	13	26	26	2	0	50.00
44.4 from Kulasekara, and that is number four. It's back of a length on off stump, and he punches it down the ground to mid-off and decides to take on Mahela's arm. Big mistake. Low, flat direct hit and McCullum is nowhere near his crease 207/8
AF Milne	st †Sangakkara b Senanayake	19	30	27	0	0	70.37
47.1 and Milne is dismissed for the first time in international cricket. Down the track, looks to go inside-out over extra cover, and completely misses the ball. His momentum was still taking him down the pitch when the ball reached Sangakkara's gloves. He took his time and removed just one bail, delicately 222/9
MJ Henry	not out	20	17	17	2	0	117.64

TA Boult	c Thirimanne b Senanayake	13	8	6	0	2	216.66
49.6 and that is that. Sees him coming down the track again and bowls it wider and pulls his length back a bit. Goes through with the shot anyway and holes out at long-on. Could be a crucial little contribution from Boult. 248/10

FDM Karunaratne	lbw b NL McCullum	21	48	38	3	0	55.26
12.5 up comes the finger and the McCullum gets the breakthrough his brother wanted. Fuller delivery hits middle and skids on to strike Dimuth quite low on the pad, an in his haste to get his bat down, Dimuth was playing around the line of it as well 64/1
TM Dilshan	c †Ronchi b Henry	116	174	127	17	0	91.33
45.3 he falls to the short ball after taking Sri Lanka so close! Lots of pace behind this from Henry after two slower balls on the trot and he finds Dilshan slow on the pull. Not often has that happened today, might have been tiring as well. Top edge lobs to the keeper and he walks off to a huge ovation. Top hundred, this 237/4
KC Sangakkara†	c Latham b Milne	38	39	41	1	3	92.68
22.5 in the air.... and Sanga has picked out deep square leg! Short ball on middle, comes at the batsman with a bit too much heat for the pull shot. Latham runs in and dives forward to complete a potentially important catch. 116/2
DPMD Jayawardene	c Taylor b Henry	27	31	29	5	0	93.10
31.5 he managed a four before, but this time he's picked out the fly slip! Scenes that would not have been out of place at a training session as Mahela opens the face against a short ball and picks Taylor at slip 163/3
