SIX! Tim Southee to Rishabh Pant. Slower length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. What a ridiculous stroke, Pant is a serious talent. His bottom hand comes off the handle as he makes contact with this yet he still clears the rope by a distance. Audacious by the young left-hander.

13.4 Daryl Mitchell to Vijay Shankar

w

OUT! Caught. Daryl Mitchell to Vijay Shankar. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Southee. The super slow bouncer does the trick, Mitchell gets New Zealand their third wicket. Shankar was hitting to the longest boundary on the field and his timing was off. Huge cheers greet MSD to the middle.

13.3 Daryl Mitchell to Vijay Shankar

6

SIX! Daryl Mitchell to Vijay Shankar. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Shankar concentrates on timing instead of power and it means the ball sails over the ropes for his first six of the evening.

FOUR! Daryl Mitchell to Rishabh Pant. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs.

FOUR! Scott Kuggeleijn to Vijay Shankar. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled past long off for 4 runs. Williamson is interested in this and sprints hard to try and get underneath it. He can quite get there and the ball skips into the fence.

FOUR! Ish Sodhi to Rishabh Pant. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Pant gets down on one knee and swings the kitchen sink at this, nailing it to give the man at long off no chance.

10.5 Lockie Ferguson to Shikhar Dhawan

w

OUT! Caught. Lockie Ferguson to Shikhar Dhawan. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to backward point, by de Grandhomme. Ferguson gets Dhawan's wicket for the second time in the series. In Wellington two nights ago it was a searing yorker, this time it is a ferocious bouncer that is far too quick for the left-handed opener. It's the simplest catch imaginable for de Grandhomme to give the hosts a much needed boost.

9.2 Ish Sodhi to Rohit Sharma

w

OUT! Caught. Ish Sodhi to Rohit Sharma. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Southee. Sodhi punches the air, he's got a much needed breakthrough for the Black Caps. It's not the best delivery he'll ever bowl, it was definitely there to be hit, but Rohit has got his timing all wrong. Straight down the throat of Southee who is a very reliable fielder.
