    9.6 Loud shout and he's struck! That's a big, big wicket. The bounce brings about his undoing. Tossed up outside off, he looks to dab it down third man, can only get a thin edge with the keeper completing an excellent catch. 79/2
    4.5 Ah, Tickner has put Balbirnie out of his misery. Not the captain's day to be honest, he found no fluency whatsoever. Length on middle, he looks to clear mid-off, does not get the desired connection and the fielder takes a simple catch diving to his left. 33/1
    10.4 leading edge as he tries to slog over deep midwicket but the ball flies off the blade to third man instead! A second wicket for Tickner, and Tucker goes for a very tidy 28. This was a fullish ball on off, and he really tried to muscle it to the leg side. Duffy at third man takes a simple one 81/3
    16.3 takes pace off, rolls his fingers over the ball. Length ball just outside off, and he tries to swing across the line again. Decent timing, but the distance is missing. Phillips takes a sharp catch at deep midwicket 116/6
    12.4 chopped on! And Mitchell's part-time earns NZ a wicket. Length ball, nagging fourth-stump line trying to keep it tight. Another delivery with some extra bounce, and Delany's attempted glance to third man ends up taking an inside edge 92/4
    15.6 tosses it up, entices Dockrell and he goes for a lofted shot over mid off. But this is the googly, and the ball goes past the inside edge of the bat. Stumps flattened 108/5

    7.5 third dropped catch? No! Third time lucky. Full on off. Dockrell gets a wicket on his birthday. Guptill tried to sweep, and it got a top edge to short third man 65/3

    1.6 yorked! What a comeback. Allen backs away, Young aims a ball at the base of middle stump. Can't get bat on ball, and now he has to walk back. 18/1
    4.1 back of a length on off from Little first ball. Cleaver goes for the pull it doesn't have the distance! Man at deep square leg stays on the edge of the boundary line, and takes a very sharp catch with the reverse-cup technique 41/2

    16.4 Excellent bouncer and Little takes a lovely catch off his own bowling! Banged in short just outside off, Mitchell looks for the pull, is deceived by the pace of it and can only get a top edge. The ball seems like it is falling in no-man's land but Little sprints quickly and catches it reverse cup around the square leg region. 147/4
