Am furious about that. Southee bowling beautifully, unusually loose shot from Samaraweera, would have been 39/5 and potential for an 70-80 run lead. And that could be the difference between 140 all out and 350.

As a result Southee goes looking for magic ball next delivery and bowls legside half volley.

That was damn close.

May have been just going over. But still umpires usually love to fire a batsman who pads up

Looking forward to seeing Bracewell bowl next. Would give Southee a couple more, then Patel just one or two overs rather than Franklin. Then bring Boult back. Franklin - No.

Depends - if Franklin can get some loopy swing then he's worth a look for a couple of overs to see if Sri Lanka want to shunt it.

Woop!

woot! Dunno if that was hitting but think ump gives it on the well-known 'padded up twice and both were close' principle*

Nah, too high imo

Good bowling from Southee anyway

* edit: though of course the first was Jayawardene.
