Match State: Innings Break
Perera rather missing out on an opportunity as New Zealand were
being pressed with their over rate.
Apart from skipper Sanath Jayasuriya 80, no one looked comfortable
in staying in the middle.
New Zealand have to make 221 runs in 50 overs. The pitch has been
providing a varied bounce. Vettori got the ball to spin and bounce
sharply on a few occasions.
Muthiah Muralitharan will get more than his share of help from this
pitch. It is going to be a contest between the bat and the ball.
We will be back with you in just about 30 mins with all the live
action from Colombo
