CWC - NZ v Sri Lanka

Donsteppa

Latham's mediocre tournament continues.

Donsteppa

That will be a relief to get another chance one ball later.

Bovidae

Tim was not happy. Latham didn't move his feet.

Donsteppa

Trent comes to the party with the second wicket. 30/2 off 4.

Donsteppa

32/3. Sri Lanka batting like they want to be all out for 70 after ten overs...

Two for Trent.

Canes4life

I feel like the only way we are losing this is if the rain interrupts play before we bat and we don't come back on.

Donsteppa

Perera on 31 off 14 trying to do a Maxwell for his top order batting companions.

KiwiMurph

Let's not bowl Southee again for a while.....

Donsteppa

Time to chuck the ball to Lockie.

Donsteppa

70/3 off 7.4 overs. Something for everyone...!

Canes4life

70/4 now. Great review by Boult.

We need to get Perera out.

Donsteppa

Perera on 51 off 25 in amongst carnage at the other end.

Angelo not timed out today.

Canes4life

Perera gone. Took the bait from Ferguson's bowling.

Donsteppa

Lockie removes the dangerous Perera. Sri Lanka on track for a rapid collapse to take the weather completely out of play.

Bowl out Trent and Lockie's overs early to keep the pressure on?

Donsteppa

Think he will get this CricInfo note for a while...

I'm not sure of the logic of a part time keeper in a tournament where wickets at a premium.

Part time keepers are a pet hate - if you are a good enough batsman play as a batsman.

Assume Tommy has had some issues?

I've dumped Foxtel and not picked up Kayo, so am relying on you guys to keep me updated.

And it's nearly time for bed ...

I blame Alec Stewart for starting the trend…..he was a terrific keeper though

2 drops. One of them he gobbled a chance the very next ball.
