- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 fired in, and he looks to flick this away. Collected by Pooran down the leg side, and he immediately goes up in appeal. Not given, and they review this. They might have actually gotten away with a wide here, as it doesn't seem to have hit bat or pad on its way through. Oh no, there's a very fine edge through! What a big wicket for Allen to pick up off just his second ball 53/25.4 plays this on to his stumps, in an attempt to paddle this to fine leg. Just three balls to go in the powerplay, and perhaps Seifert felt he needed to do something to match Guptill. Oshane Thomas kept it full and didn't follow Seifert, who had moved across to a second or even third set of stumps outside off. Ends up edging it back on to the stumps 49/119.5 short, slow, wide, slapped, goes too high, taken at point. He fell soon after his injury in the last game and that trend continues here as well. Except, today he's amassed 108 in only 51 balls. That's the fastest century by a New Zealander and the whole crowd at the Bay Oval stands up to salute him. He walks off tapping his bat with the ones the kids are thrusting out to him as he walks up to the dressing room. They have a new hero now 237/3Extras13 (lb 4, nb 4, w 5)TOTAL238/3 (20 Overs, RR: 11.9)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Tim Seifert, 5.4 ov), 2-53 (Martin Guptill, 6.2 ov), 3-237 (Glenn Phillips, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 that's out! Short ball, and Hetmyer makes some room to cut this away, and ends up dropping it to point. There's some early hesitation, and in the end, Fletcher is down on the ground as Phillips strikes with a sharp direct hit from cover-point. Maybe they should give him a few overs today as well? 28/21.1 strikes first ball! Oh, horror start for King, who is wearing the new jersey with greater amount of yellow. It's full, fast, and just swings a fair way into the batsman. That's too good a ball to get first up, to be honest, least of all when you are chasing almost 12 runs an over. 10/113.6 taken at deep point, diving forward! Gorgeous work from Santner. He tracked the ball all through, times his dive perfectly and takes it in two hands and does the roll so his elbows are safe and the ball doesn't pop out. Googly from Sodhi does the trick as Hetmyer succumbs to the scoreboard pressure he himself had created... 25 off 32 while chasing 239... 113/68.2 Phillips is having a bit of a day out, isn't he? Neesham holds his length back a bit, and Mayers looks to target the mid-wicket fence. Phillips sees the ball flying away to his right, and flings himself to his right with conviction. And guess what? The ball just sticks in there 60/39.3 moves across the crease, trying to go over mid-wicket again, and Santner floats this a little wider and shorter. Just a top edge, and Santner takes this skier away to his left 72/412.5 taken at long-on! Actually, Southee is right behind the bowler. IPL fans will remember this field for Pollard. Dhoni uses it quite a bit specifically against Pollard. There's a quick check to make sure Southee hasn't trod on the ropes while taking the catch and we're good. Excellent comeback from Santner. Slows it down. Keeps it fullish. Pollard though stays on his back foot and tries to flat bat it down the ground but can't clear the man in the deep 107/515.5 rippaaahhhhh! He keeps saying he doesn't swing the ball. He keeps saying his only strength is pace. But what about this ball. This one moves in the air. It is angled into the right-hander. It is full as well. That length. That angle. It makes Powell stuck in the crease. And then the swing. The late away swing beats the outside edge and takes down off stump. Spectacular stuff. 132/716.4 taken at cover - Phillips has another catch to his name! This one's a dolly as Allen backs away and tries to lift a good length ball on leg stump over the infield. Can't get enough connection 140/817.6 top edge. Skier. Bowler sprints up to claim it. Keeper's on his way too. So Jamieson backs off and Seifert takes it cleanly. Short ball that follows the tailender as he makes room. It comes off the high part of the bat. It's also too quick for him, which is why the ball skews back behind the wicket. 144/9Extras15 (lb 1, w 14)TOTAL166/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Brandon King, 1.1 ov), 2-28 (Andre Fletcher, 3.3 ov), 3-60 (Kyle Mayers, 8.2 ov), 4-72 (Nicholas Pooran, 9.3 ov), 5-107 (Kieron Pollard, 12.5 ov), 6-113 (Shimron Hetmyer, 13.6 ov), 7-132 (Rovman Powell, 15.5 ov), 8-140 (Fabian Allen, 16.4 ov), 9-144 (Sheldon Cottrell, 17.6 ov)
