Over 86. 5 runs. Bowler: Trent Boult. Sri Lanka: 195/10(rr 2.27)

OUT! Caught. Boult to Mathews. In-swinging half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to slips, fielded by Guptill. NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 167 RUNS<br>Mathews slices to gully as he tries to find a single over the infield, Guptill swallowing up the chance safely. New Zealand have ended their run of five straight defeats in style, squaring a series that looked one-sided after the Black Caps subsided against spin at Galle. They had to be patient today as Mathews dug in, but the swinging new ball has been key for New Zealand in this match - their pacemen shared 17 wickets. Boult and in particular Southee have been impressive in this match, but the batting of Taylor and Williamson set up the win. Sri Lanka have again failed to hold on to a series lead at home and their vulnerability against good pace bowling is a concern ahead of a tour of Australia.

The final session of the series is due to have a minimum of 32 overs and both teams will be looking to the skies to evaluate the prospects of rain and bad light. Time is certainly running out for the Black Caps and they need Southee and Boult to strike quickly with this brand new ball.
