Craig McMillan who took the skipper's role as Stephen Fleming was indisposed with a stomach disorder, played well to make 38 runs off 53 balls; he was bowled by the wily Muttiah Muralitharan. Lou Vincent (30) looked comfortable against the Sri Lankan spinners; he was brilliantly caught by Gunawardene off the bowling of Arnold. It was again the first ball of a new spell for Arnold. New Zealand were pushed further into despair (210/6), when they lost Harris (13) in the 47th over.
