NZ 99-1 (12 ovs) vs SL

Sri Lanka's spinners have not made the expected effect with the ball, having to bowl first on a fresh pitch.

Dananjaya to bowl his third over. Nicol (31) chips down the track and hits it straight back to the bowler who drops it but is hit on his face.

McCullum declines the run and immediately attends to the young spinner, who is clearly in some pain after that blow. The physio is attending to Dananjaya, who is bowling with cotton in his nostril to stop the bleeding and the left side of his face has swollen after that blow.

But the goods news is that he looks fit enough to continue bowling. He starts with a full toss and Nicol drives it down the ground for one.

McCullum edges the next ball on the off-side for one and Nicol gets another single from the next ball.

Dananjaya switches to round the wicket and McCullum jumps down the track and lofts it high over long-off for a huge six and ends the over with a single.
