    29.2 what an anti-climactic end to a wonderful innings! Full and wide outside off again. Young reaches out for it and powers it to deep cover. Wants to retain strike and tries to hare back for the second but is well short of his ground, despite the dive. What a knock this has been, though. He bided his time at the start when the ball was moving and flexed his muscles when NZ needed him to later in the innings! 236/5
    0.4 edged and gone, first breakthrough for Bangladesh, pitches in line with the off stump on a good length and moves away slightly to find the edge to the keeper. 5/1
    0.6 edged and taken at second slip This one pitches back of a length and moving away once again, Nicholls prods forward and finds the edge to Anamul Haque. 5/2
    25.1 chops it on! Darted in full outside off. Latham clears his front leg, looking to target the shorter leg-side boundary. Loses his shape a little, though, and tugs at it. Gets an inside edge that first hits his pad before trickling onto the stumps! Latham falls eight short of a hundred, but he has set the game up for his team superbly! 176/3
    28.5 Chapman has been run out! Short outside off. Young punches it straight to the fielder at cover point. Chapman, wanting his partner to get to the three-figure mark, hares down the track only to be sent back. Puts in the dive but is well short as the bowler collects Afif's throw and takes off the bails! 230/4
    29.6 Clarkson has been run out on ODI debut! Low full toss outside off. Low enough to prevent Clarkson from getting under it. He tugs it towards long off and seems content with the single until he finds Milne almost alongside him. There was never a second there but no harm trying either, given it was the last ball. Stranded half-way down as Mushfiqur did the rest at the batter's end. NZ end with 239-7, and that is a very imposing total! 239/7
    29.4 another run-out! Gets the wide yorker in, and Blundell cannot get under it. Digs it out towards deep backward point and thinks he can come back for two. Stretches every muscle of his body but in the end, is inches short as Mushfiqur whips off the bails post Anamul's throw from the deep. Three wickets in relatively quick succession for Bangladesh, but has it come too late in the piece? 237/6

    0.4 Edged and taken at second slip. Pitches outside the leg stump and moves quickly across to take the outside edge as Soumya Sarkar pokes his bat at it and gets the edge to Latham. 1/1
    11.2 short of a length delivery, extra bounce, goes for the pull and splices in the air to the onside, the bowler calls for it, moves to his right and takes a good catch for his first wicket in ODI's on debut. 80/3
    6.4 bowled around his legs. It was too full and he looked to reverse sweep it and misses it completely to knock the leg stump. 47/2
    13.3 a simple dismissal and Clarkson gets his second wicket, slow bouncer, caught in two minds, goes for the hook and gets a glove and through to the keeper, who accepts it. 92/4
    22.3 Sodhi gets Hridoy! Fizzed through on a length outside off, and this one kicks up ever so slightly. Hridoy, like Afif, is looking for the sweep but the extra bounce means that he top-edges his stroke. Milne settles himself on the deep backward square leg fence and snares the chance. Massive wicket, and this might peg Bangladesh back considerably! 159/6
    16.1 soft dismissal! Full and angled into middle and leg. Mushfiqur looks for the reverse, a shot he usually deploys to good effect. On this occasion, though, he makes a complete hash of it. Loops up off the glove and Blundell does the rest. NZ keep chipping away; Bangladesh on the brink now! 103/5
    23.6 another soft dismissal! Hard length, angling into off stump from round the wicket. Afif tries to swipe it over cow corner but the ball gets big on him. In the end, it hits the splice and lobs up to Young at short mid wicket for the easiest of catches. That might be that for this run-chase! 165/7

    25.6 that is going to bring rain, and what a catch by Will Young. In the Dunedin darkness, oh my days! Length on middle and leg. Shoriful comes down the track with intent and whacks it a mile up. An absolute mile. Young runs in from the deep mid wicket fence but then has to back-pedal. Nonchalantly flings out his right mitt and grabs hold of it, right on the fence. The question now is whether his back touched the cushion. If it did, it will be six. If it did not, Young will have produced one of the all-time great catches in ODI cricket! The third umpire reckons Young is fine, and Shoriful has to go back. What a catch. No amount of superlatives could do justice, especially given how dark it is in Dunedin right now! 174/8
    29.6 cleans him up! Maiden ODI wicket for O'Rourke and NZ win the first ODI by 44 runs (DLS)! Sizzling yorker on off stump and it has the beating of Mahmud. He has a mow at it but gets nowhere close to the ball. Sneaks under the bat and thunders into the stumps. O'Rourke is thrilled, as are the NZ players. They have been full value for this victory! 200/9
