- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Bowled'em! Shepherd gets the danger man! Fuller length ball with a hint of shape away from the batter on the stumps, enough deviation to beat the batter as Robinson attempts to play across the line towards long on, no feet movement from the batter, squaring him up with a ripper! 59/27.1 Cleaned him up with a beaut! Forde ends the misery of Conway. Length ball shapes back in on the stumps from the probing channel, dances down the track with intent to clear the boundary ropes, plays across the line and goes through bat-pad, and clips the stumps. 55/113.1 Soft dismissal! Flighted length ball on the stumps, Ravindra tries to join the party this time, deceived by the extra bounce and slight turn off the pitch, plays the slog sweep and connects the leading edge. A regulation catch for Hope behind the stumps. 107/316.1 And Holder gets the big fish! Shortish delivery darted on the stumps; Chapman strides forward early to swing it away, cramped for space and slaps the ball high in the air with the leading edge, Holder settles underneath and completes the catch. A fine innings of pure class finally comes to an end. 164/417.1 Catching drill for Forde! Tossed up fuller length ball in the slot, played it inside-out through the line of the ball, did not go through the shot as he wanted to; he just lofted it straight in the air towards long off. Forde did not have to move an inch near the ropes and gobbled it up with ease. 169/5Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL207/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Devon Conway, 7.1 ov), 2-59 (Tim Robinson, 8.2 ov), 3-107 (Rachin Ravindra, 13.1 ov), 4-164 (Mark Chapman, 16.1 ov), 5-169 (Michael Bracewell, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Edged and through to the keeper! King departs for a duck! Width on offer back of a length ball outside off, extracted bounce off the pitch, no feet movement from King as he attempts to play it through the covers, outside edges to Conway behind the stumps. King can't believe it, shakes his head as he walks back towards the dugout slowly. 0/17.2 Reverse sweep, and this time Athanaze has to depart! Tossed up fuller length ball on the stumps, premeditated the reverse sweep, miscued the stroke and skied it high towards short third. Duffy tracks back under the night sky and holds onto it in the end. 49/210.5 Skipper gets skipper! Slight quicker and fuller with the arm on the stumps, gets down on one knee and tries to hoick it over midwicket area, too full to play the slog sweep and goes through everything to disturb the furniture! 74/49.3 Mark Chapman, you beauty! Anything he touches turns into gold tonight! Tossed up widish length ball around off, leans forward and plays it inside-out over the covers, and does not quite get hold of it. Chapman comes flying in from deep backward point, launching into a fully stretched dive and grabbing the catch with both hands like a bird in flight. He's got a massive smile on his face, and New Zealand struck again with the ball! 68/311.4 A googly, and the batter doesn't pick it! Teases the batter with a floater wrong-un ball on the stumps, charges down the track and goes for the big heave over the on-side area, misses the line and length completely, crashes on the top of the stumps 86/519.4 High in the airrrrrrrr... And taken by Chapman at short third! It was a slower delivery around the off stump line, back of the hand ball, going for the big shot and getting the leading edge. Chapman settles underneath the night sky and completes the catch. Massive wicket! 202/812.5 Chase has holed out! Looped up fuller length ball around the fifth stump line, makes room outside leg and plays it inside-out, a similar dismissal to the Auguste one earlier. And this time too, Chapman is there to complete the catch at the deep extra cover area. 93/616.5 Santner finds the breakthrough! Quicker and fuller ball, low full toss on the stumps. Shepherd clears the front leg and whacks it hard and flat towards long off. Bracewell comes forward sprinting in and takes a spectacular diving low catch to dismiss the hard-hitting allrounder. 155/7Extras9 (b 4, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL204/8 (20 Overs, RR: 10.2)Did not bat: JNT SealesFall of wickets: 1-0 (Brandon King, 0.3 ov), 2-49 (Alick Athanaze, 7.2 ov), 3-68 (Ackeem Auguste, 9.3 ov), 4-74 (Shai Hope, 10.5 ov), 5-86 (Jason Holder, 11.4 ov), 6-93 (Roston Chase, 12.5 ov), 7-155 (Romario Shepherd, 16.5 ov), 8-202 (Rovman Powell, 19.4 ov)
