0.1 Bond to Camps, no run, good start for the New Zealand paceman, beats Camps outside the off stump
0.4 Bond to Camps, one run, off the mark with a hurried single to square leg
1.1 Mills to Camps, one run, full and rather quick delivery from Mills, edged down before a diving second slip, goes under his legs and away for a single
1.2 Mills to Markus, one run, full again, assured drive to get off the mark
2.3 Bond to Markus, FOUR, quick delivery, Markus drives square and gets it past the infield, boundary all the way
3.5 Mills to Camps, OUT, well now! Camps never played himself in on his home ground, top edge to a shortish delivery and it goes behind, well taken by McCullum
Code:
LA Camps c BB McCullum b KD Mills 4 (14b)
Score: 12/1
4.4 Bond to Markus, OUT, and that's another single-innings dismissal for Markus! Shortish delivery with extra bounce, Markus tries the hook shot, awkwardly fended away and Fulton at short leg holds the catch, both openers down
Code:
I Markus c PG Fulton b SE Bond 10 (12b, 1x4)
Score: 16/2
5.2 Mills to Butler, no run, ooh! shortish delivery outside the off stump, they're fond of placing it there, always gets enough movement to surprise the batsman, this one zips in and hits Butler on the front pad, there's a huge appeal, but the umpire shakes his head, life for Butler, replays suggests that was hitting in front of off stump
5.3 Mills to Butler, FOUR, revenge! fuller ball outside the off stump, Butler cuts and down to third man for an easy boundary
6.6 Bond to Goff, one run, single into the leg side, runs ticking over nicely, four singles in this over
7.2 Mills to Goff, FOUR, another full delivery duly punished, this time on the stumps and driven back straight to long on
7.6 Mills to Goff, FOUR, and again! Mills struggles with his length here now, Goff takes full advantage, thirteen off this over!
8.3 Bond to Goff, no run, beaten outside off stump, Bond continues with the fine bowling but isn't given much support
9.3 Mills to Butler, wide, no run, now it's the line Mills can't get right, third wide of the over, well kept down by McCullum
10.1 Bond to Goff, two runs, rare slip-up from Bond, Goff drives hard at it but misjudges the pace of the ball, still rolls away, well run to take two
12.5 Bond to Butler, three runs, full and straight, Butler pulls and gets it away past the fielders, there's a race for the fence while Butler and Goff run furiously in the middle, Vincent beats the ball but it's still three on to the total.
13.0 First bowling change of the day. Oram on for Mills.
14.0 Three off the over, Styris joins Oram with the ball.
14.3 Styris to Goff, FOUR, another full toss, Goff drives with impunity and gets it through point for an easy boundary
15.4 Oram to Butler, FOUR, this one on a good length, not much pace on the ball, Butler picks it early and drives away, this partnership has been crucial!
16.1 Styris to Butler, FOUR, pulled away in style, Butler stamping his mark now
16.6 Styris to Goff, wide, no run, down the leg side as he looked to close out the over, that's really poor bowling
16.6 Styris to Goff, FOUR, and strays down leg again, only this time Goff diverts it enough to see it past McCullum, and that's a boundary
17.2 Oram to Goff, two runs, well bowled, Goff still picks that one out, drives to mid off for more runs
18.6 Styris to Goff, two runs, nearing his fifty here, has been a blazing innings, plenty of quick singles, Styris strays with his line yet again and could make life difficult for Fleming at this rate
19.1 Oram to Butler, three runs, yet again robbed of a boundary, another lovely stroke from Butler which is stopped just short
19.3 Oram to Goff, one run, that's the half-century, driven straight to the fielder at long off but it's still a run, 50 off 42 balls
20.0 Styris off for Vettori, Fleming trying to stifle the runs here
20.5 Vettori to Butler, one run, flighted ball, Butler charges and drives, only a single but it's enough to bring up the 50, a bit slower than Goff but still a crucial one, his 15th ODI half-century
21.5 Oram to Goff, three runs, beautiful shot, the pitch still playing tricks but Goff appears to read it just right, this one had extra bounce but he still pulled it away calmly
22.6 Vettori to Butler, no run, desperate appeal for lbw, hit well outside off
24.6 Vettori to Butler, no run, slowed down a little bit now, 8 runs off the three overs
25.0 Astle on for Oram
25.5 Astle to Butler, FOUR, cracking shot, slower ball outside the off stump, Butler sees it immediately and drives square
26.4 Vettori to Goff, two leg byes, looks like that's the only way they're going to score off Vettori, he's bowling just the right line and length and they're not getting him away
27.5 Astle to Butler, FOUR, more runs for Butler, he's overtaken Blewy now
28.6 Vettori to Goff, no run, beaten outside the off stump, just one from the over...
29.4 Astle to Goff, SIX, thankfully there's still bad balls to be hit, rank long hop from Astle driven back straight, ten metres over the man at long on, cheeky shot but he got away with it
30.6 Vettori to Butler, no run, amazing economy rate for Vettori so far, he and Bond hold the key here
31.0 Bond on for a spell now. Clearly they want to break this partnership and then just hope...
31.3 Bond to Butler, one run, oh dear! Butler tries the huge shot off a full delivery, completely miscues it, Vettori runs in from square leg but shells the catch, a single taken, that could be very crucial for New Zealand
33.0 Styris back on for Bond. The gamble didn't work.
33.2 Styris to Butler, FOUR, help yourself, long hop outside off, New Zealand's lack of bowling depth has been shown up today
34.1 Vettori to Goff, SIX, that's enough! Vettori pitches it a bit short for once, Goff takes a stride back and then launches a booming drive, flies back into the stands, huge shot!
35.4 Styris to Goff, FOUR, a cut shot this time, well executed and Styris shakes his head in frustration...
35.5 Styris to Goff, OUT, gone! too late, presumably, because Goff and Butler have already turned the game around with that stand of 174, highest third-wicket stand in CW history by some distance, still a nice delivery which Goff inside edges, a brutal 87 comes to an end.
Code:
BJ Goff b SB Styris 87 (81b, 5x4, 2x6)
Score: 190/3
36.2 Vettori to de Silva, FOUR, takes a Lankan to play spin, beautiful shot off a length delivery, more boundaries
37.3 Styris to de Silva, FOUR, de Silva prefers the boundary, finds the hole between long off and mid off and places it superbly
38.4 Vettori to de Silva, two wides, well down the leg side and de Silva leaves alone, poor wicket-keeping and the ball rolls slowly down to fine leg, fielded there by Marshall who has rushed in, still a poor delivery
39.1 Styris to de Silva, OUT, cameo ends! tries the big smash but yet again it's gone down the throat of a fielder, poor temperament shown there, Marshall pouches the catch and away for 12
Code:
MW de Silva c HJH Marshall b SB Styris 13 (12b, 2x4)
Score: 210/4
39.2 Styris to Robbins, FOUR, Robbins very keen on making amends for yesterday, that's a beautiful stroke off a rather poor delivery
40.3 Oram to Butler, no run, that's close, seaming delivery close to the off stump, Butler is hit on the pad, huge appeal but turned down again
42.0 Mills coming on now
42.3 Mills to Butler, OUT, robbed of the century! another big shot on the leg side goes to Marshall, that's five down but a fine innings nevertheless
Code:
CR Butler c H Marshall b Mills 93 (129b, 6x4)
Score: 224/5
42.5 Mills to Robbins, OUT, full ball on the leg stump, poor delivery, even worse shot by Robbins who sees the ball miss the bat and thud into the back leg, huge appeal, that's a very strange dismissal, and suddenly New Zealand are back in!
Code:
MJ Robbins lbw b Mills 8 (8b, 1x4)
Score: 225/6
