19.5 - Boult to Mathews, FOUR, short and on the stumps, Mathews swivels across and pulls it behind square on the on-side, beat the man past the square leg umpire and rolls away to the fence

19.2 - Boult to Mathews, FOUR, Mathews is playing a blinder here, another slower short delivery from Boult, Mathews waits on it and cracks it up and over backward point for another boundary

19.1 - Boult to Mathews, FOUR, slower back of the hand short ball from Boult, Mathews waits on it and goes over cover-point, went right off the base of the bat had enough to clear the infield

17.3 - Milne to Jeffrey Vandersay, FOUR, yorker length delivery and on the stumps, Vandersay jams his bat down and gets an inside edge towards fine leg. Elliott gets across and lats the ball slip through his hands, a rare blunder in the outfield by New Zealand

15.3 - Elliott to Mathews, FOUR, cheeky from Mathews, short and just outside off, he backs away, makes room and steers it up and over the keeper, third man was inside the ring, brings up Mathews' fifty

14.5 - Boult to Mathews, FOUR, outside edge and four! Tries to slog this length delivery over mid-wicket, the edge flew well over short third man and into the fence

14.4 - Boult to Mathews, FOUR, Mathews you little beauty! How well has he timed that? He goes deep inside the crease to this full delivery and bludgeons it straight down the ground, it went so quickly that the fielder from long-on had no chance

9.2 - Elliott to Mathews, FOUR, there's the deft touch from the experienced campaigner! Jumps inside the crease to this short of length delivery and dabs late with an open face, wide of the keeper and into the third man fence

5.5 - Milne to Dilshan, FOUR, edged and four! How many times have I said that when Dilshan is batting. He is living by the sword and he might end his innings by doing the same. Was trying to hook this short ball but was in no position to do so. Manages a top-edge which swirls over short fine leg, one bounce and into the fence

5.1 - Milne to Dilshan, FOUR, Dilshan is living dangerously here! He is on the swing-swing mode today. Flashes hard at this back of a length delivery and gets a thick outside edge which flies over the keeper and towards the third man fence, doesn't matter how it come but Dilshan will take it

4.0 - Milne to Dilshan, FOUR, back of a length on the stumps, Dilshan jumps back and pulls along the ground through mid-wicket, timed it well and got the placement right

3.1 - Milne to Dilshan, FOUR, full ball on the stumps, Dilshan stoops low and paddles it between keeper and short fine, calculated risk but worthy, ain't it?

1.2 - Milne to Gunathilaka, FOUR, ah, shot! There was width on offer and Gunathilaka took full toll of it. Got forward and smashed the length delivery with a well-timed cut shot, just about sliced it over the man at point, risky but nevertheless a boundary

18.4 - McClenaghan to Mathews, SIX, lovely shot, a little shimmy down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and sends it miles into the stands at long-on for a maximum

14.1 - Boult to Mathews, SIX, smacked! Right off the meat of the bat. Stays still at the crease and muscles the loft over long-off

8.3 - Mitchell Santner to Mathews, SIX, and again! Full and outside off, Mathews stays firm at the crease and lofts it straight down the ground, stand and admire stuff!

8.2 - Mitchell Santner to Mathews, SIX, there's the power of Angelo Mathews. He is a strong man and he can hit the ball a long way. Steps out, doesn't quite get to the pitch of the delivery but goes through with the swing, the power behind the shot takes it over the long-on fence

16.0 - Elliott to Udana, out Caught by Williamson!! Catching practice for Williamson, Mathews is being left stranded at the other end. A nothing shot from Udana, this was pitched up and held its line on middle, Udana was looking to drive, checked his shot at the last moment, ends up lobbing a dolly towards extra cover. The New Zealand skipper moved across to his right and held on. Udana c Williamson b Elliott 0(2)

15.2 - Elliott to T Perera, out Caught by Guptill!! Sri Lanka continue to lose wickets in a heap! This was pitched up and held its line outside off, Perera went for the big mow over mid-wicket, doesn't get hold of the shot and finds Guptill to perfection at long-on. He caught it in front of the ropes, turns around and makes sure that he didn't hit the ropes. T Perera c Guptill b Elliott 6(10)

11.4 - Elliott to Kithuruwan Vithanage, out Caught by Milne!! Sri Lanka are in some hurry here! Vithanage looks to loft this good length delivery straight down the ground. The length wasn't quite there to go through the shot. Gets it off the toe-end and offers a simple catch to Milne at long-off. Kithuruwan Vithanage c Milne b Elliott 1(4)

10.3 - Mitchell Santner to Siriwardana, out Caught by Boult!! And the highly-rated Siriwardana perishes too! What was he trying to do? He just arrived at the crease and was trying to smash this good length ball out of Eden Park. Didn't get all of it. Mistimes it completely towards long-on where Boult runs forward and accepts it gleefully. Siriwardana c Boult b Mitchell Santner 0(1)

9.4 - Elliott to Dilshan, out Caught by McClenaghan!! End of a live-by-the-sword-or-die-by-the-sword innings. Dilshan never looked comfortable. Finally he perishes while trying to slog a good length delivery over mid-wicket. Manages a thick top-edge which safely lands in the hands of back-peadaling McClenaghan at short third man. Dilshan c McClenaghan b Elliott 28(26) [4s-4]

6.4 - Mitchell Santner to Chandimal, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! That's it from Chandimal. Tried to slog this full delivery over mid-wicket. Gets a leading edge which lobs towards Taylor at short man who takes a comfortable catch in the end. Chandimal c Ross Taylor b Mitchell Santner 2(4)

5.3 - Milne to Jayasuriya, out Caught by Williamson!! Gone! No heroics from Shehan Jayasuriya. He looks to loft this length delivery over mid-on but gets it off the toe-end. KW from mid-on backtracks and steadies himself to take a well-judged catch. Jayasuriya c Williamson b Milne 3(10)

2.0 - Milne to Gunathilaka, out Bowled!! You miss I hit stuff! Gunathilaka tries to muscle this ball out of Eden Park. The line and length of the delivery was perfect - pitching on a good length and swerving in straight. Gunathilaka misses and the stumps are all over the place. Such a soory sight for the batsman but Gunathilaka has to go. Gunathilaka b Milne 8(6) [4s-1]

13.5 - Elliott to Mathews, 1 run, in the air and safe! Mathews lifts this fullish delivery towards long-on. Boult runs forward but it falls well short of him

9.5 - Chameera to Munro, FOUR, full toss and lofted over the man at cover. Fifty partnership comes up as well. Munro drives over the infield and picks up a boundary

4.1 - T Perera to Williamson, FOUR, sheer class from Williamson, makes room to a length delivery and goes up and over cover, rolls away to the fence in a hurry

3.5 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Guptill, FOUR, that has been blasted! This was a short of a length delivery outside off, Guptill gets across and thumps it back over the bowler's head, sheer power from Guptill, no chance for any of the fielders

3.2 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Guptill, FOUR, much better from Guptill, tossed up and just outside off, he gets well forward and drop kicks it wide of extra cover for another boundary, gets past 1500 career T20I runs as well

3.1 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Guptill, FOUR, Vandersay dropped his first ball short and well outside off, Guptill backed away and went hard on the cut, gets a thick edge - past the lone slip and rolls away to the fence

2.3 - Udana to Guptill, FOUR, that's drilled by Guptill, long-off was a mere spectator, half-volley outside off, Guptill gets a good stride forward and thumps it back past the non-striker

2.2 - Udana to Guptill, FOUR, the slower ball from Udana, Guptill spotted it early, comes down the track and drags it over mid-wicket for a boundary

1.4 - Chameera to Williamson, FOUR, too straight from Chameera, ends up drifting onto Williamson's pads, he tickles it past the keeper, no need to run for those

1.3 - Chameera to Williamson, FOUR, lovely shot, half-volley on the stumps, Williamson leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and punches it back past the bowler for a boundary

1.1 - Chameera to Guptill, FOUR, easy pickings for Guptill, length delivery on his pads, he gets across and clips it in front of square on the on-side, beats the man getting across from deep square leg

10.0 - Chameera to Munro, SIX, oh yes, he can! Yes, yes, yes! What a performance from Munro. Earlier today, Guptill recorded New Zealand's fastest T20I fifty off 19 balls, now Munro has betterd the record by doing it in just 14 balls. This is also the second fastest T20I fifty ever, next to Yuvraj Singh's 12-ball effort against England in 2007. Such a thumping win this for the Black Caps and they sweep the series 2-0 as well. Coming back to the ball, it was a length delivery once again from Chameera, Munro muscles it hard over mid-wicket and clears the boundary

9.2 - Chameera to Munro, SIX, that's launched into the sky! That's a really poor ball and a batsman in this mood will certainly not miss out. Full and in the slot, Munro lofts it easily over long-off and the boundary isn't big enough for him. Goes deep into the stands as well

8.4 - Udana to Munro, SIX, he's seen this nice and early. Udana tries another slower delivery, but Munro jumped out of the crease, because he knew that the bowler had taken pace off the ball, he waited and then slogged to clear the wide long-on fence

8.0 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Munro, SIX, Munro is taking a pasting here! This was tossed up on Munro's pads, he gets down low and slog sweeps it, high and behind square on the on-side for another maximum

7.5 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Munro, SIX, flighted delivery and well outside off, Munro takes a step down the track and drills itover mid-off, clears the ropes on the full

7.3 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Munro, SIX, massive, tossed up invitingly outside off, Munro gets down on his knees and slog sweeps it, high and over the deep mid-wicket boundary for another maximum

7.0 - T Perera to Munro, SIX, Munro will continue from where Guptill left, picks up the length delivery early, comes down the track and hoists it high and over long-on for a maximum, off the mark in style

6.3 - T Perera to Guptill, SIX, too easy for Guptill, Perera misses his yorker, offers a length ball on the stumps, he clears his leg and launches it high and over wide long-on for a massive six

6.0 - Chameera to Guptill, SIX, too short from Chameera, Guptill backs away and pulls it flat and hard, into the mid-wicket stands for another maximum

4.5 - T Perera to Guptill, SIX, 19-ball fifty for Guptill, Thisara misses his yorker, offers a length delivery on the stumps, Guptill gets underneath and heaves it high and over long-on for a maximum. This is also the fastest T20I fifty for New Zealand

3.4 - Jeffrey Vandersay to Guptill, SIX, lovely shot, tossed up and well outside off, Guptill gets a big stride forward and lifts it through the line, sends it soaring over long-off for a maximum

2.4 - Udana to Guptill, SIX, Guptill is into the groove now, slower length delivery from Udana, Guptill clears his left leg and clouts it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

6.4 - T Perera to Guptill, out Caught by Chandimal!! That's the end of Guptill show for today, but not before he entertained this Auckland crowd to the hilt. This was full and way outside off from Thisara, would have been called as a wide had not Guptill reached for that - he ends up getting a thick edge and it's well snaffled by Chandimal, to his right. Guptill walks off to a good ovation. Guptill c Chandimal b T Perera 63(25) [4s-6 6s-5]
