- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 what a catch by Guptill! The short ball gets rid of the dangerous Myburgh! Goes for the pull, but ends up getting more of a top edge because it was a little too high for him to control. Possibly too quick too. Guptill had to run quite a distance to his left, tumbles over but clings on smartly 34/112.1 as simple as that. Swart was looking to follow his captain's example from the last over, but Nathan's slipped in the straighter one and pulled his length back. He was dancing down the track and making room to combat the offspinner. The slash can't connect and Ronchi does the rest 81/37.4 that's the nick and McClenaghan strikes early again! Barresi was on the back foot and wanted to steer this one just back of a good length down to third man. But the angled face proffers only an outside edge which safely rests inside Ronchi's gloves 42/217.6 he's shoveled it straight into the hands of point! No fifty for the captain. This was full and wide from Mills and he dabs at it with the angled bat and picks out Williamson 141/4Extras15 (b 8, lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL151/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Stephan Myburgh, 5.5 ov), 2-42 (Wesley Barresi, 7.4 ov), 3-81 (Michael Swart, 12.1 ov), 4-141 (Peter Borren, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 clears his front leg and lashes outside off, but there was just a bit more bounce that he expected. Thin outside edge pouched by the keeper and Netherlands are over the moon! Good pace from van der Gugten as he bent his back and kept the line just a shade outside off. Guptill was looking to force the pace and succumbs 14/18.3 the ump takes his time and then nods. Slower ball fetches the outside edge and Williamson walks back. Sees a bit of width and looks to steer it down to third man, but the change in pace has done him over 56/216.5 slower ball swallows McCullum! Teases him with a fuller one outside off and he went into the shot too early. Slices it into the and the fielder from the deep runs in and picks up a lovely tumbling catch around the cover area. Things just got murky for New Zealand 134/412.2 and again, but this is a leading edge! It's a skier, it's going to be difficult. Especially with two men chasing it. But Ben Cooper allows the man with the gloves to take it and so he does. Fullish and outside off, Taylor goes for the same stroke but his timing is nowhere near as good 88/3Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL152/4 (19 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Martin Guptill, 3.2 ov), 2-56 (Kane Williamson, 8.3 ov), 3-88 (Ross Taylor, 12.2 ov), 4-134 (Brendon McCullum, 16.5 ov)
