Jamieson to Samson, out Caught by Ravindra!! Oh soft! Shockingly soft. This is how he frustrates you sometimes. That trigger of going back and he couldn't control the flick shot. Jamieson is roaring after his revenge for those two hits to the fence. Sanju couldn't believe he's picked the fielder out to the T. Nothing good length delivery, hit me ball, Sanju though he could flick and find the gap but found Rachin instead. Early breakthrough for New Zealand. Felt as if he Sanju cured his initial instinct and while walking back he seems to be suggesting to himself he could have gone through with an aerial flick. Samson c Ravindra b Jamieson 10(7) [4s-2]

Jamieson to Samson, FOUR, he's been going deep in the crease to get under balls and Jamieson's short of length balls are sitting up nicely for Sanju to access the pull shot. The first boundary was behind square, this time he goes well in front of square to pull this over mid-wicket

Jamieson to Samson, FOUR, picked away nicely off the back foot. Rolled the wrists on the pull shot and ensured deep square leg didn't have a chance to the right. Wasn't all that short so Sanju got inside the line and placed it behind square to collect his first boundary

Jacob Duffy to Samson, leg byes, 1 run, slightly leg-sidish but Sanju misses the glance. Wanted to send it past backward square leg

Jacob Duffy to Samson, no run, bang on target first ball at 137.6! Lovely control on this full outswinger than finishes around middle and off, forced a defensive push from Sanju
