    18.6 pulled straight down the throat of the fine leg fielder. This was short, he picked the length early, but this time couldn't keep it down. Rovman Powell was eight or nine yards inside the boundary, so he was positioned superbly to take this catch. That's the third time Worker has failed to convert a half-century into a big score. 124/3
    6.5 short outside off and this time the pull costs Munro his wicket. Cottrell salutes as the ball goes into mid on's hands. Got slightly big on Munro and he top edges his pull shot 50/1
    10.4 straight to first slip's hands! Good length on off stump and he pushes at the ball looking to run this down to third man once again, but takes the outside edge and it's a regulation catch for Holder, who dives forward 66/2
    32.6 what a great catch! Good length just outside off and Taylor chooses to poke at it, takes the outside edge and Shai Hope dives to his right. Taylor goes after another useful fifty 186/5
    30.1 extra bounce does the trick once again! Short on off stump and zips off the surface, takes his glove as it lobs to the keeper. Latham's poor domestic form continues 169/4

    49.2 end of a super innings, falls one short of a maiden ODI fifty. Very unselfish from Astle, looks to back away and belt this over the bowler's head but missed it completely and heard this length ball clip the top of middle. 316/6

    3.3 back of a length on off stump, pulled well but not well enough! Straight down fine leg's throat and Boult has his second. It had the elevation, but not the distance, and the dangerous Lewis has to walk back. Crunch wicket 15/2

    1.6 cuts him in half! There's the break through. Good length on off stump and tailing into the right hander. Zips through between bat and pad and breaks top of off stump. Kyle Hope's torrid run continues. Just about enough gap for the ball to go through 10/1
    9.5 it's a skyer! Fourth for Boult. Full on middle and he gives it another wild slog, comes off the bat's toe end and Latham composes himself before diving forward and taking a simple catch. West Indies' hopes slowly fading away 52/4
    5.1 third wicket for Boult! Nagging length outside off and he gets rewarded once again. Hetmyer tries to poke at it with the angled bat and it's another catch at first slip. West Indies in tatters 21/3
    15.3 bounced him out and it's a beauty to get him. This is a ripper of a bouncer angled in at his throat from around the stumps, he tries to drop his wrists to get out of the way but it's too late because the ball keeps coming back in to thud into his glove and lob back to the bowler who takes a dolly. 70/5
    17.6 why on earth would you try pulling a fast bowler who regularly clocks 145kph, especially when the short ball is your weakness? Tries to fetch this from outside off, but he only manages to get a top-edge as Munro runs backwards from midwicket to complete an easy catch. 86/7
    15.4 Raw pace, deadly accuracy. Rovman Powell gets a yorker first-up, by the time his bat came down to squeeze that out, the off pole was flat on the ground. 70/6
    27.4 short on middle and this time Nurse chooses to pull. It's in the air, and taken at deep midwicket. Second six-for for Boult and the fifth fastest bowler to 100 ODI wickets 121/9
    21.3 and there's his fifth! Third five-for in ODIs. Short on middle and this time he's cramped. Had walked across to the off side and simply ends up gloving this through to Latham. Extra bounce doing the trick once more 100/8

    27.6 there's the seventh! Breaks off stump and it's all over! Full and straight on off stump. West Indies all out for 121. Second-best bowling figures for New Zealand by Boult. Just misses the 7 for 33 achieved by Tim Southee. 121/10
