Time for the presentation:

Misbah: We lost wickets and in first 10 overs we were nowhere, had no momentum and they bowled really well. We were 70-80 runs short and 280-290 would have been a good score. Really pleased to see Shahid Afridi bat well, he's bowling too. I'm getting better in the practice games, scores some runs and it was difficult to come after two months but I have scored runs. When you defend this sort of total, you have to try to take wickets but sometimes you give away runs.

Brendon McCullum: Pretty professional bowling and fielding was outstanding, probably the best this summer, the intensity was good. The seamers were able to swing the ball today and it's nice when you get the rewards. Guppi has been playing really nicely, especially in the nets, doesn't look like he's away from a big score. Taylor always finds ways to score runs and it was a well-thought out partnership.

Elliott is the Man of the Match: Trent, Millsy and Milne were outstanding at the top and I was lucky enough to get a couple of wickets. Never experienced anything like that (Irfan's bowling), he's an outstanding bowler. It's an outstanding environment to be involved in, in this team.

That's all we have from the first ODI in Wellington. NZ are up 1-0 and the action will move to Napier on February 3rd. Do join us again that day, and the World Cup will be here before you know it. Until then, ciao!

9.15pm That's a comprehensive win from New Zealand, they were better in all three departments today. Bowled tight lines, took wickets regularly, fielded very well, and chased down 211 with more than 10 overs to spare. They are looking strong as ever.

Pakistan's batting will have to pull up their socks if they wish to do well in the World Cup, only one more match to go for them. They also need to see if this combination of four bowlers only and Haris Sohail as fifth bowler will work in these conditions, or if they should play an extra bowler.

johnc: "NZ, AUS, SA look great. Hard to understand how IND don't have a solid team with the amount of cricket they play/have played in the last 12 months. "

kailesh: "south africa ....they lack confidence in their spinners ... and more importantly their pace attack hasnt performed that well in australia ... their batting is just perfect"

Bowling change - time for Ehsan Adil

Kailesh: "this nz team looks to be the most complete team of this world cup" How about South Africa?
