5.41pm A much better batting performance on a much better pitch. New Zealand would believe they've put together a par score, thanks to an excellent second half-century of the series from skipper Tom Latham. There were also positives in the form of an aggressive start from Finn Allen and some support from Henry Nicholls in the middle order.
New Zealand applied themselves against spin much better, didn't premeditate. Much of that means they've put up the highest total of the series so far. Shoriful experimented and was punished, conceding 48 off his four, including 18 off his final over. Wonder if that could be the difference tonight. Join us shortly for the chase.

Luke: "These two batting together (McConchie and Latham) were both in the same year group at a small primary school in Christchurch, Avonhead School. Remarkable they eventually made it to NZ to play together! Source: I went there too!"
