Tom Curran to Henry Nicholls, SIX, THAT'S IT! What an extraordinary match this has been! Full ball on the pads, Henry Nicholls whiplashes that over backward square leg for six and Nicholls heaves a sigh of relief! The NZ dressing room explodes with joy, Taylor looks like he's in a trance and about to faint. Someone give this man a hand, and a leg, and whatever else he needs. Carry him off if you will! What a phenomenal match we have witnessed here in Dunedin!

Tom Curran to Henry Nicholls, no run, drama! Length ball, Henry Nicholls tries to sweep, it lobs away towards backward point and the batsman tries to run across. Stumbles while trying to get back to the crease. Falls over, and Woakes misses with the throw. Curran collects and he misses with the throw as well.
