That's all we have for you from ball-by-ball commentary. Thank you for your company today. We'll see you again tomorrow. Till then, sayonara!

Tim Southee: We spoke about small improvements in all areas. Incredible day for him, not only with the bat but in the field too. He's got that X-factor about him and he's done well against those guys in the CPL and it showed today. Devon Conway has been dominating domestic cricket for a long time and he played very well today, playing second fiddle to Glenn and then exploded himself as well. We knew the opposition would come hard at the bowlers, but we made it tough for them and made sure they never really got going.

Kieron Pollard: 100% went in the opposite direction of what we planned. When we're bat, we're really really bad. Two days ago, we spoke about executive well and discipline. I thought we had them at 80 for 1. But we lost them after that. In terms of energy in the field, that's not the standard we want to set. I think it's a mindset, fielding. Despite conditions and what you've been presented with - people don't want to know it's 15 degrees and it's hard. You need to be up for the fight and you need to be in control of what you're doing. So as a team we have absolutely no excuse in that aspect of the game. Toss is 50-50. Tim said he would have bowled as well because in those overcast conditions we expected fast bowlers to get some swing. But in hindsight, if we had stayed in the contest a little longer, even kept them under 200, we could have done something about it

Glenn Phillips is Man of the Match: Oh my goodness. It's been absolutely unreal. the last time I played here, I saw Colin Munro pummel everything out of the park. And to join him feels so great. Playing with Devon was also so good. You always go in with confidence knowing you've done well against guys before [having played CPL against some West Indies players]. But for me, being able to adapt and adjust to the situation is very important.

ICYMI: Lockie Ferguson and his brother Mitch have developed an app that will help budding fast bowlers around the world better their game. It's called Machineroad and you can read all about it here

6.17 pm New Zealand win the series 2-0 with one game to play tomorrow. They were so far ahead today thanks to Glenn Phillips who made the fastest T20I hundred by anyone from his country. His ability to hit 360 degrees, and his growing strength in hitting down the ground - he's far more natural square of the wicket - should help New Zealand become a proper batting force in the shortest format. To think he might have struggled to get into the XI if frontline players like the captain Kane Williamson had been available to play this series...

Sodhi to Paul, no run, backs away and thumps a flatter delivery on off stump back down the pitch. "Catch" cries the keeper and Sodhi does try, sticking out his right hand, but the shot had far too much power on it

Sodhi to Paul, no run, pulls his pace all the way down the second he sees Paul shaping to run down at him. It's also wide outside his off stump, forcing him to play a slog sweep instead. Beats him

Sodhi to Paul, no run, looks to take on a googly, but only inside edges the pull shot
