    McKay to Thilan Samaraweera
    Sri Lanka book their tickets to Mumbai, their second final in a row, what an achievement this is. not the finest shot to seal the win, an outside edge between the keeper and a wide slip for four, they don't care, it's party-time in Sri Lanka, this is going to be the first all-Asian World Cup final, credit to New Zealand, they fought hard and made it tense for a while in the chase, but Sri Lanka were too good for them today

    McKay to Thilan Samaraweera
    bowled from wide of the crease, angling in, Samaraweera looks to short-arm that behind square leg, Jayawardene is screaming off the blocks for a single before he realises Samaraweera is going nowhere and turns back
    47.3
    0
    McKay to Thilan Samaraweera
    swishes at that one outside off without any footwork, looking to steer it to third man, he misses
    47.2
    1
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    shortish and on legstump, worked to square leg to bring Sri Lanka within one of New Zealand's score, the decibel level is high now in Colombo
    47.1
    1
    McKay to Thilan Samaraweera
    length ball outside off, calmly steered towards third man for a single
    46.6

    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    another short ball from Southee, Mathews skips towards leg and mistimes a pull towards midwicket
    46.5
    0
    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    shortish ball into the midriff, Mathews looks to pull and swivels as he plays the shot, can't get bat on it and is hit on the body
    46.4
    0
    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    length ball outside off, gets forward and blocks towards the off side
    46.3
    4
    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    Mathews is injured, but that doesn't show as he skates down the track and launches the ball over the bowler's head, a one-bounce four and Sri Lanka are a hit away from a second successive World Cup final, Mathews shows what a cool head he has once again
    46.2
    0
    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    down the leg side and that is off Mathews' body to the keeper
    46.1

    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    Mathews! what a shot that is, Sri Lanka take a giant step towards the final with a superbly timed lofted on-drive that sails into the crowd, it was a length ball wanting to be hit and it's a six off the first ball, Colombo loves it!
    45.6
    1
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    a short ball from McKay, pulled by Mathews, timing is terrible, the ball just dribbles towards midwicket, still enough on it to get a single
    45.5
    0
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    length ball angling across, solidly defended from the crease towards the cover
    45.4

    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    hang on, it might not be over, referral after umpire turned down an appeal for caught-behind, New Zealand are very confident, but without Snicko it is very difficult to overturn the decision, very hard to tell from the replays whether there is a deflection, and unless Mathews has really thwacked that it will be difficult to pick up an edge, and to no one's surprise, Mathews survives, no noise or deviation perceptible in the replays
    45.4
    5
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    oh dear, that could be the game, five wides down the leg side, a diving Brendon McCullum can't get that in his gloves and Sri Lanka's 200 comes up
    45.3
    1
    McKay to Thilan Samaraweera
    well outside off, that's easy for Samaraweera, he guides it down to third man
    45.2
    1
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    a short ball on legstump, Mathews gets back and tucks the ball behind square leg, no effort to power it, just guides it for a single
    45.1
    0
    McKay to Angelo Mathews
    no footwork from Mathews as he dabs a ball angling across him to backward point
    44.6
    1
    Southee to Angelo Mathews
    another bouncer to end the over, Mathews takes his eyes off the ball as he pulls, mistimed towards midwicket, wide enough of the fielder to get a single
    44.5
    1
    Southee to Thilan Samaraweera
    slants onto the legstump, whipped towards deep backward square leg for a single, easy run that
