Rovman Powell to Ross Taylor, wide, ahh, anti-climax that! Don't think this was intentional, the Windies blokes are generally jolly fellows. Powell spoils Taylor's party by slipping this one way down the leg-side. No fifty for Taylor but he won't really mind that. NZ win by 5 wickets and go 1-0 up

Holder to Todd Astle, 2 runs, very full and around middle, wrists it through the gap at mid-wicket, they come back for the second which means that Ross Taylor can hit the winning runs and possibly, get to a fifty as well. Scores level

Holder to Todd Astle, no run, oh, whoa, whoopsy! Astle was backing away a lot but this short ball kept following him with the angle. Swayed away in the nick of time and the momentum saw him fall to the ground

Holder to Todd Astle, FOUR, easy pickings! Low full toss on the pads, Astle gets across a bit and flicks it through backward square leg. Timed it very sweetly and fine leg had no chance to cut it off

Holder to Todd Astle, 2 runs, slower and shorter in length, Astle was premeditating by backing away and slashes it through backward point. Beaton is slow to come across from third man and the batsmen steal the second run

Rovman Powell to Todd Astle, FOUR, that's been clobbered! Ross Taylor had to move out of the way in time as this was struck seriously hard. On a good length outside off, Astle backed away and absolutely smashed this straight down the pitch. Through the legs of his partner. Mid-on had no chance
