Kieron Pollard to Devon Conway, OUT! CAUGHT! Conway's debut knock comes to an end! Pollard can take wickets with the ball too. Slower ball outside off, Conway eyes the fence at third man as he looks to guide it uppishly but ends up spooning it to the fielder at short third man. Oshane Thomas there comes a bit forward and takes the catch with ease.

Kesrick Williams to Ross Taylor, OUT! CAUGHT! DRAMA, DRAMA AND MORE DRAMA! Appeal for LBW and take the wicket off a run out. Nice strategy. Williams bowls a fuller one on middle, Taylor looks to flick it to the leg side but is beaten to get rapped on the pads. The ball goes towards point. There is an appeal from the bowler but nothing from the umpire. Rosco meanwhile is looking for a single. Awareness from the fielder at point, Fabien Allen means that he runs towards the stumps at the keeper's end and underarms the throw to catch Taylor short of his crease. A body blow this for New Zealand.

Oshane Thomas to Glenn Phillips, OUT! BOWLED! Phillips has played that onto his stumps. A length ball, outside off, Phillips looks to cut but is far away from the ball, as he has made room to the leg side. Gets an inside edge which hits the stumps. A knock which had exhilaration, entertainment and pain - all of which lasted just 7 balls!

Fabian Allen to Glenn Phillips, SIX! Three biggies in the last 4 balls! New Zealand are ending the Powerplay well. Remember, this being a 16-over game, the Powerplay is for just 5 overs. Fractionally short, outside off, Phillips goes back and launches this over mid-wicket.

Fabian Allen to Glenn Phillips, SIX! 'AAARGH!' is the cry. Something has happened. Phillips is down. Full and outside off, Phillips arches back and sends this over long on. However, after hitting it, he nearly collapses.

Oshane Thomas to Tim Seifert, OUT! GONE! Initially dropped, but then taken in the second attempt! Seifert backs away to the leg side and Thomas follows him. It is a touch fuller and hence, Seifert has to reach out. He ends up skewing it high in the air towards mid on. Rovman Powell gets across, takes what should have been an easy catch but then fumbles. However, he juggles well and hangs on! New Zealand not quite getting the start they wanted. 142 more needed from 73 balls.

Oshane Thomas to Tim Seifert, MISFIELD, FOUR! Short and outside off, coming in. Seifert punches this to the left of short third man. The fielder gets across but simply lets it through.

Sheldon Cottrell to Devon Conway, Four! Lucky, lucky, lucky! Not quite where the batsman intended to hit, but the batter will take a boundary off the inside edge to fine leg. Fuller and around off, Conway looks to drive but gets a thick inside edge, which scoots past the stumps towards fine leg!

Sheldon Cottrell to Devon Conway, FOUR! A bit too straight. Conway gets across and gently nudges it to the fine leg fence.

Sheldon Cottrell to Martin Guptill, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Out comes the salute from Sheldon Cottrell. He bowls a hard length outside off, Guptill looks to go hard at it. He goes for the cut by making room there. He fails to get it off the middle as the ball takes the outside edge and settles into the mitts of Pooran.
