West Indies need 213 for ten Super League points, and a 2-0 series lead to continue to ensure that New Zealand don't win an ODI series on their soil. Join Ekanth for the chase soon.
Shaun: "5 Maidens, 10 unbowled balls at the end and only 2 wides. Great bowling display by the Windies"
Nick: "Think we can safely say this pitch and the previous ODI pitch haven't been easy to bat on either though. I have a feeling this chase might be harder for the Windies than the first game."
7.06pm Another disappointing display with the bat by New Zealand. Just four batters - including No. 11 Boult - get into double figures. It was an innings of three parts: West Indies dominate the powerplay with the ball, New Zealand rebuild through Allen and Mitchell, and the hosts hit back after the rain break. Allen was patient with 96 on a slow pitch, but good execution from Sinclair with 4 for 41, Holder with 3 for 24 and others restricted the visitors to 212.

Over the stumps to Boult
Robin Bain: "Love watching the world's best number 11 test batter smash 4s!" --- The world's best No. 11 across formats, you'd think.
Holder back. He has 3 for 15 so far. Around the wicket.

A deep slip and leg slip now
Rohit Kota: "What will worry New Zealand is that this is their first choice batting lineup barring Williamson. In fact, with Santner at 9 and Neesham at 8, they have a stronger batting lineup then their full strength side."
