    18.2 caught behind. The cover drive that had been fuelling his innings now fails him. He did take a risk, playing on the up on a pitch with a little bit of nibble. And that does him, the ball holding its line from around the wicket enough to snag the outside edge through to the keeper. Gone for a hard-working 49. 91/3
    6.1 nicked and gone! Forde has his reward! Back of a length in the channel and this seems to just straighten a smidgen. Against the angle too, and Ravindra, trying to punch on the up through the off side, is done in. Gets a feather and Hope does the rest behind the stumps. Forde is elated, and Ravindra's scratchy knock has come to an end! 24/1
    6.2 a golden duck in his 50th ODI game! Forde has two in two, and NZ in a spot of bother! Length ball in that probing corridor just outside off. Nips back in and that forces Young to play at it. He does so with minimal conviction and just hangs his bat out to dry. The ball kisses the outside edge, having bounced a tad extra and floats through into Hope's gloves. Forde leaps into his celebration for the second ball running, and he will be on a hat-trick now! 24/2
    49.1 holes out to deep mid wicket, and Mitchell's resistance has finally been broken! Off-pace and into the track on middle and leg. Mitchell is hitting to the longer boundary on the leg side and just runs out of juice. A bit of a shank too, and Rutherford, stationed well inside the ropes, gobbles up the chance. Hagley Oval rises as Mitchell walks off the park, and this innings, like most of his previous hundreds, has rescued NZ from a tricky situation! 263/7
    26.6 caught behind. Deadly bit of movement against the angle just glides off the face of the bat through to the keeper. Latham was just looking to find a single, opening the face of the bat and had there been no movement he might well have got what he wanted. Instead, it's Seales leaping up in the air to celebrate a moment of genius 123/4
    41.2 taken this time, and Chase's luck has finally turned! Tossed up on a length outside off. Bracewell's eyes light up and he looks to pop this over long on. Has to reach out for it in front, though, and that means the ball clinks off the toe-end. Springer runs around to his left from long on, and does the rest, much to Chase's delight. A just reward for all his toil today, and Bracewell departs for a 52-ball 35! 192/5
    45.1 shanked a mile up, and taken on the long on fence! Back of a length outside off. Like Bracewell earlier in the day, Santner eyes the stands over long on. Gets it quite low on the bat, though, and the ball arrows off almost the toe-end towards Forde. He settles under the high ball and makes no mistake. NZ six down now! 220/6

    2.3 caught behind. Special stuff from the bowler and the keeper as well. After dragging Campbell across his stumps with a series of away going deliveries, Jamieson gets this one - back of a length - to cut into the left-hander, against the angle. Campbell is slow to respond to this all new challenge and in the end only inside edges through to Latham, who dives full length to his right and picks up a really smart catch. 10/1
    20.3 straight to square leg, that's a dismal end to a fighting innings. The irony is that Athanaze has absolutely nailed the shot. Having spent so much of his time at the crease mis-hitting shots because of the sideways movement and extra bounce from the NZ quicks, he finally falls to a leg-stump ball from a spinner that he middled to perfection 70/2
    25.1 oh well, now NZ are definitely in front! Jamieson breaks through immediately, and Carty has to depart! Full outside off and there to be driven. Carty throws the kitchen sink at it but the only thing he does wrong is he does not keep it down. A slash in the end and Young, stationed at backward point, snares a sharp chance in front of his face. Not the best ball Jamieson will ever bowl, but he and NZ will take this with both hands! 87/3
    34.5 goes a mile up again and this time, Ravindra sends Hope packing! Shortish and angling into middle and off. Hope looks for the pull but that has led to his downfall several times this tour already. Tonight is no different, and he skies this attempted short-arm-jab. Ravindra settles under it at deep square leg, has his evening tea and his dinner, and then claps his hands around the ball when it eventually comes down. Big, big moment in the game! 138/4
    45.1 into the deep, and into Conway's hands! Massive blow to West Indies' hopes! Jamieson goes short outside off because, well, why not. Rutherford tries to muscle it over cover but he is hitting to the bigger side, and perhaps hitting into the breeze too. Conway charges in and lunges forward to complete the catch well inside the fence. Rutherford has to go, and NZ tighten their grip on this contest! 209/6
    39.2 another high ball, and Henry is on the board too! Henry sticks to his plan and continues badgering the middle of the track. Gets this up towards the back shoulder and Chase cannot control his pull. Straight off the top edge and Foulkes, running in from fine leg, completes the catch with minimal fuss. WI lose another in the pursuit of quick runs! 169/5
