- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Skewed high and into the hands of Phillips at backward point! Late swing again, by which point Ura has already decided to target that leg side boundary. Alas, a leading edge sends it skywards in the opposite direction. 3/14.1 ... and he strikes first ball! Vala's keen to drive, and the length is there but not enough convinction. Edges to a wide first slip! Bit of extra bounce in there, too 14/211.2 Ooooo that looks out... Ferguson goes at the stumps and pins the front pad low down. Umpire says not out but we're having a review...and it's confirmed - hitting middle and leg three-quarters of the way up. 41/312.2 Charge and launched... straight to long on! Easy as you like for Finn Allen, and Santner, who just had to drop that on a length and wait for Bau to mistime down the ground. 41/415.2 splats the stumps! Boult strikes in his final T20I. Round the wicket, angled in at the top of leg, Hiri Hiri retreats to no avail 56/613.2 Another dot ball for Ferguson... and he's finally hit the stumps! Does Soper for pace, angling into the stumps, bit of shape and then a helping hand from an inside edge makes a mess behind the batter 43/516.3 length ball, slaps the top of leg! A nothing shot from Doriga, a swat across the line, feet sliding backwards as the bat swung through. No contact, as the stump is uprooted 61/718.4 a swat across the line, a steepling top-edge, and Mitchell swallows the catch at midwicket! A knuckleball into the pitch, Vanua was deceived by the change of pace and the extra bounce. Boult has his second, and his 83rd in T20Is. Time for two more? 76/819.4 huge hack across the line, picks out Mitchell at long-on! PNG are all out for 78, a decent recovery in the end. But this won't be a significant challenge, you wouldn't think 78/1019.2 stumped! Tossed up outside off, dips past an aggressive charge, grips and turns past the edge, off come the bails with the batter stranded. Regulation, and PNG are all but done 77/9Extras11 (lb 7, w 4)TOTAL78 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 3.96)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Tony Ura, 1.3 ov), 2-14 (Assad Vala, 4.1 ov), 3-41 (Charles Amini, 11.2 ov), 4-41 (Sese Bau, 12.2 ov), 5-43 (Chad Soper, 13.2 ov), 6-56 (Hiri Hiri, 15.2 ov), 7-61 (Kiplin Doriga, 16.3 ov), 8-76 (Norman Vanua, 18.4 ov), 9-77 (Kabua Morea, 19.2 ov), 10-78 (Alei Nao, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 caught behind! Wow! Finn Allen throws the bat at a hint of width, there's an audible snick as the ball keeps low outside off, and the keeper scoops it up! Umpire Reiffel waits for a beat and sticks up the finger. The third umpire confirms it's carried off an under-edge! 0/19.2 pinned on the pads! Speared in on a fuller length, angled in at the left-hander, didn't get up much and this looks plumb! Just a nibble of seam movement back into the pads to miss the inside-edge. Smashing middle and leg! 54/34.1 lofted out to deep midwicket! Ravindra took the aggressive route, stepping down the track, looking for the launch off the pads, but he didn't get enough of it, and that plopped invitingly into Kamea's grasp! 20/2Extras1 (b 1)TOTAL79/3 (12.2 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Finn Allen, 0.2 ov), 2-20 (Rachin Ravindra, 4.1 ov), 3-54 (Devon Conway, 9.2 ov)
