Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Andre Fletcher b Lockie Ferguson 34 14 3 3 242.86

3.2

Lockie Ferguson to Andre Fletcher, OUT! BOWLED! A wicket against the run of play! New Zealand and Ferguson are elated! He bowls one on a length and gets it to nip into the batter, Fletcher once again looks to go downtown but is beaten to see his stumps shattered. Southee will be relieved to see the back of Fletcher.

Brandon King c James Neesham b Tim Southee 13 10 2 0 130

4.2

Tim Southee to Brandon King, OUT! CAUGHT! Southee now joins the party! West Indies losing the plot here as they are three down in quick time. Short and wide outside off, King slashes at it hard and the ball flies to the third man fence where Neesham takes it with ease.

Shimron Hetmyer c Tim Seifert b Lockie Ferguson 0 4 0 0 0

3.6

Lockie Ferguson to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ferguson on fire! One brings two and Lockie has the big hitter Hetmyer. Length ball around middle, Hetmyer makes room to go over the off side. Ferguson is smart as he follows him. Shimron still goes with the shot and manages to get an outside edge which is taken comfortably by Seifert behind the wickets.

Nicholas Pooran (W) lbw b Lockie Ferguson 1 2 0 0 50

5.1

Lockie Ferguson to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! LBW! Oh my what did you have for lunch, Lockie? It is all going New Zealand's way at the moment. Typical West Indies innings. 58 for no loss to 59 for 5! Ferguson goes full and around middle, he gets the ball to nip back into the batsman. Pooran looks to defend it without any footwork there. He misses the line of the delivery and gets rapped on the pad. There is an appeal from the bowler and the keeper and the umpire raises his finger. Pooran though is not happy as he takes it upstairs, The replays roll in and it is a legal delivery. No edge as the Ultra Edge confirms. Ball Tracker comes in and shows impact as umpire's call. Pooran has to walk back.

Rovman Powell c Lockie Ferguson b Tim Southee 0 3 0 0 0

4.5

Tim Southee to Rovman Powell, OUT! CAUGHT! Southee gets his second and West Indies are in a spot of bother here! Short of a length delivery, Powell looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes towards square leg where Lockie Ferguson takes a good catch.

Kieron Pollard (C) not out 75 37 4 8 202.7

Fabian Allen c Tim Seifert b Lockie Ferguson 30 26 4 1 115.38

13.3

Lockie Ferguson to Fabian Allen, OUT! CAUGHT! Short of a length ball on middle, Allen looks to pull but gets an outside edge. It goes towards the keeper where Seifert takes a good catch. The bowler asks the umpire and he raises the finger. Allen does not review it as he knew he has nicked it.

Keemo Paul c Tim Seifert b Lockie Ferguson 0 2 0 0 0

13.5

Lockie Ferguson to Keemo Paul, OUT! CAUGHT! THERE IT IS! The 5-wicket haul for Lockie Feguson. He certainly has that X-factor in him. The way he has bowled, even the best in business have failed to find answers to his trick. Keemo Paul too does not have any answer. Ferguson bowls a length ball around off, he gets the ball to rear up off the surface. Paul, who is looking to defend it off the back foot, is caught by surprise seeing the bounce. The ball takes the shoulder of the bat and lobs towards Seifert who takes a dolly.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Martin Guptill c Nicholas Pooran b Sheldon Cottrell 5 3 0 0 166.67

0.4

Sheldon Cottrell to Martin Guptill, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Out comes the salute from Sheldon Cottrell. He bowls a hard length outside off, Guptill looks to go hard at it. He goes for the cut by making room there. He fails to get it off the middle as the ball takes the outside edge and settles into the mitts of Pooran.

Tim Seifert (W) c Rovman Powell b Oshane Thomas 17 13 2 1 130.77

3.5

Oshane Thomas to Tim Seifert, OUT! GONE! Initially dropped, but then taken in the second attempt! Seifert backs away to the leg side and Thomas follows him. It is a touch fuller and hence, Seifert has to reach out. He ends up skewing it high in the air towards mid on. Rovman Powell gets across, takes what should have been an easy catch but then fumbles. However, he juggles well and hangs on! New Zealand not quite getting the start they wanted. 142 more needed from 73 balls.

Devon Conway c Oshane Thomas b Kieron Pollard 41 29 5 1 141.38

12.2

Kieron Pollard to Devon Conway, OUT! CAUGHT! Conway's debut knock comes to an end! Pollard can take wickets with the ball too. Slower ball outside off, Conway eyes the fence at third man as he looks to guide it uppishly but ends up spooning it to the fielder at short third man. Oshane Thomas there comes a bit forward and takes the catch with ease.

Glenn Phillips b Oshane Thomas 22 7 1 3 314.29

5.3

Oshane Thomas to Glenn Phillips, OUT! BOWLED! Phillips has played that onto his stumps. A length ball, outside off, Phillips looks to cut but is far away from the ball, as he has made room to the leg side. Gets an inside edge which hits the stumps. A knock which had exhilaration, entertainment and pain - all of which lasted just 7 balls!

Ross Taylor run out (Fabian Allen) 0 4 0 0 0

6.3

Kesrick Williams to Ross Taylor, OUT! CAUGHT! DRAMA, DRAMA AND MORE DRAMA! Appeal for LBW and take the wicket off a run out. Nice strategy. Williams bowls a fuller one on middle, Taylor looks to flick it to the leg side but is beaten to get rapped on the pads. The ball goes towards point. There is an appeal from the bowler but nothing from the umpire. Rosco meanwhile is looking for a single. Awareness from the fielder at point, Fabien Allen means that he runs towards the stumps at the keeper's end and underarms the throw to catch Taylor short of his crease. A body blow this for New Zealand.
