- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR41.4 Guptill perishes as he looks to step up the pace, Holder angles the ball into the batsman, Guptill doesn't get enough space to get inside the line, he launches the ball towards long-off and holes out, he wanted to get it more towards deep extra cover 203/314.2 they've finally got him finally. Excellent delivery on that off stump corridor and Ryder is drawn into pushing at it. His head snapped immediately back to the keeper, but this time Ramdin collects the edge safely and West Indies celebrate 56/131.4 gone, second New Zealand batsman to depart for 47, caught by the keeper again, but this was a swirler, Williamson was going for the pull as Best drops it short, top edged it and it looped towards backward square leg, Kirk Edwards is there but he gets out of the way and leaves it to Ramdin, who completes a tricky catch 144/246.5 what were they doing there? Taylor chops it straight to Holder at short third man. There was no single there, but Anderson had already rushed through and Taylor had to respond. He tries his best, but the throw comes in to Narine and he whips off the bails without any fuss 253/544.2 charges him again and goes through with a hoick over the top, he doesn't get anywhere near enough on it as Bravo steadies himself beneath it at midwicket and holds on to a skier. Narine enticed him with the flight and the New Zealand captain took the bait. 232/448.5 the stumps are rattled and Bravo likes that very much. Ronchi plants his front foot outside leg stump and looked to loft it over extra cover and it was there for the shot, only he misses it completely. 267/6Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL285/6 (50 Overs, RR: 5.7)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Jesse Ryder, 14.2 ov), 2-144 (Kane Williamson, 31.4 ov), 3-203 (Martin Guptill, 41.4 ov), 4-232 (Brendon McCullum, 44.2 ov), 5-253 (Ross Taylor, 46.5 ov), 6-267 (Luke Ronchi, 48.5 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 poor cricket, very poor cricket from West Indies and they have lost Walton to a run out. It was an innocuous length ball outside off which he had dabbed towards point and was searching for a non-existent single. The call of no was a little too late and Kane Williamson had enough time to lob a perfect throw to the keeper who was running up to the stumps and find the batsman short of his ground 0/13.4 135 kph, how do they do it? It was a length ball on leg stump and Charles flicked it perfectly down the throat of long leg. It looked like a lovely shot all up until the time it started descending and Charles is in complete disbelief at what he has managed to do 2/214.3 leans forward to meet this full length ball on off stump and drives it towards mid-off. He sees short cover dive over it and thinks there's a single there, but Brendon McCullum swoops in on the ball and sends an accurate throw to the striker's end and Edwards can't make it. Silly cricket from West Indies, especially when they were in the midst of a recovery 62/321.4 and Simmons perishes, Simmons was tired of all the defending, looks to thrash this one over midwicket, Guptill is there near the rope to safely take that one, West Indies slide further 83/424.5 decides to go for it but he has not got that anywhere near the middle. It was a full ball speared in at the pads and he went for the sweep. The ball sails straight to the man on the long leg boundary 92/5Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL134/5 (33.4 Overs, RR: 3.98)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Chadwick Walton, 0.4 ov), 2-2 (Johnson Charles, 3.4 ov), 3-62 (Kirk Edwards, 14.3 ov), 4-83 (Lendl Simmons, 21.4 ov), 5-92 (Narsingh Deonarine, 24.5 ov)
