9.45pm We aren't far from resumption. 84 off the last six overs, and most of them off the big blade of Kieron Pollard, who has pummelled a career-best 75. The DLS-adjusted target for New Zealand is 176 in 16 overs.

Neesham to Pollard, 1 run, fires one in quicker, and he is only able to play it towards deep mid-wicket
15.5
6
Neesham to Pollard, SIX, he's gone a bit closer to Pollard, and he swings this one through mid-wicket
15.5
1w
Neesham to Pollard, 1 wide, looks to go full and wide, and just misses the tramlines this time

Neesham to Pollard, no run, he's able to sneak one within the tramlines
15.4
1w
Neesham to Pollard, 1 wide, walks across onto off stump, prompting Bennett to go wider with his yorker. Very tough on the bowler as he is penalised. If he'd bowled within the tram lines, that could well have been another six

1nb
Bennett to Pollard, 1 no ball, and this won't help calm him down. A slower ball beamer strikes Pollard on the stomach and he goes down - for the briefest of seconds. Bennett apologies for the mishap immediately and continues apologising but Pollard doesn't even look at him. He's seething inside. Or he's just in his zone and doesn't want anyone in there with him. Phew, this is one hell of an innings
15.3
6
Bennett to Pollard, SIX, it's out of the ground! It. Is. Out. Of. The. Ground. Pollard loads up a pull shot and it is such a ferocious one. Earlier today, he made a review that looked just as ferocious. Man, he's been in a mood since then.

Bennett to Pollard, SIX, top edge flies away behind the keeper. Back of a length and outside off brings the pull shot, and the extra bounce actually takes the ball away to the fence

1
Bennett to Cottrell, 1 run, dabs the back of a length ball to third man, and even as he was setting up for the shot, Pollard had begun running to take strike
cpln: "This Windies batting is extraordinary, they doesnt slow down, even if wickets fall. add russel and narine. they are world beaters"

Santner to Pollard, SIX, he's reaching out. He's almost losing balance. And yet. And yet the ball flies into the stratosphere. Pollard is one monster hitter. Santner did everything right in the over. Even this ball, he looped it up, but got it to dip and kept the line outside off stump so that the batsman would risk losing balance if he went slogging. But Pollard is just too good
