    11.3 Emrit's maiden T20I wicket. Full and wide outside off, not the greatest delivery but Guptill's bat comes down later than he would have liked. Gets a thick outside edge which is easily accepted by the keeper 136/1
    19.1 lost some momentum and timing over the last few overs. A low full toss around off, Munro picks his favourite midwicket area but mis-times his checked drive and finds long-on. Another stunning assault from Munro 226/5

    15.6 you run that risk, but I don't mind that option from Bruce. Full and straight, Bruce walks across, backs his ability to execute the scoop, but misses. A high-risk, high-reward option. Risk wins. 191/2
    17.1 Kitchen is sacrificed. That's the first I've seen of that shot. It's a charging scoop, runs at the bowler, looking to generate momentum and take the ball on the full but Munro misses the ball, the ball misses the off stump. Kitchen runs down for one, Fletcher's throw misses at the batsman's end but straight to Emrit who runs back and finds Kitchen half a pitch short 204/3
    18.6 chopped on, a much better delivery, it's a slower delivery on a good length outside off. Williamson tries to force the ball through the leg side, but the ball takes the inside edge and onto leg stump. A more-than-handy cameo 226/4

    0.1 and gone first ball! Full and wide outside off, the ball swinging away, Walton hits the ball nicely, a languid drive but straight to Munro at cover point. An easy, low catch and West Indies are one down 0/1
    0.5 Gayle's gone and with that, West Indies? Dug in, the bouncer to Gayle is often the best ball to him. In Southee's half, and it keeps rising. Gayle tries to sway out of the line but the ball takes the glove and lobs to the keeper. A duck for the Boss 1/2

    8.1 the googly! Fletcher doesn't pick it and pays the price. Sodhi did him in with that flight, a googly with lots of loop is quite rare. Fletcher does not move his feet, backs away and swings wildly, the ball finds a big gap between bat and pad to knock back off stump. Superb wristspin bowling 80/5
    3.5 the big slog is taken at cover, running back. Flight outside off, Powell looks to hit the ball over mid-on but the ball is wider outside off. Takes the outside half and lobs up for Williamson to run back, keep his eyes on the ball and take a good reverse-cupped catch. 42/3
    4.5 and run-out! West Indies are capitulating. Flat around middle and leg, Fletcher gives himself some room and cuts to Guptill at backward point. Fletcher runs down without calling and makes a hand gesture to indicate what is Hetmyer doing, who then sets off for a single. But too late. The throw to the keeper is decent 49/4
    10.4 taken at long-on. Slightly short around middle and leg, Brathwaite backs away and swats the ball but straight to long-on, who takes a simple reverse-cupped catch 92/6

    12.1 looking for the sweep. Straight and flat, Emrit misses a sweep, off the pad down to fine leg. A big appeal from the bowler, no says the umpire, and Williamson reviews. This is very close, doesn't look like there is any bat or glove on that. Three reds on HawkEye and the decision is reversed. Good review from New Zealand. WI effectively eight down. 99/7
    13.5 no one is dropping that! It's a low full toss around off, Taylor closes the bat face too early, the ball takes the leading edge again and lobs to Santner at cover 114/8
    16.3 deceives him with the slower delivery, Badree is through his shot too early and he holes out to long-on as New Zealand wrap up a dominant home series against West Indies with a 2-0 win in the T20s 124/10
