31st over
They are getting comfortable now, and they're doing it with very good shots against accurate bowling. Riley lashes a cover drive for four off Oram, and there's two more singles.
32nd over
Some great fielding stops a leg glance reaching the boundary, and there's three more singles. Gillepsie has bowled 9 overs for 17 runs.
33rd over
Just the two singles off Oram.
34th over
Gillespie sends down his first poor over, including a legside wide and a full toss outside off that Riley guides fine for four. That means figures that were amazing are now just good, 10-3-25-2.
35th over
Four scampered singles of Oram's eighth over, and CW are - finally - just about in control of this game.
35 overs
CW 135/4
Spark 34 (68), Riley 28 (53)
CW require 48 runs at 3.2 rpo

36th over
The New Zealanders are still holding them back, but that crucial wicket is evading them. One run to bring up the 50 stand is all O' Brien yields from that over.
37th over
Spark goes over the top! He's had enough of Oram's military medium and takes him for a one-bounce four past long on. Riley late cuts yet again to the boundary, nine more to the total.
38th over
Spark continues to charge, and lofts O' Brien over cover for four more. It's in the bag now, surely?
39th over
Yep, they are making it look easy now. Riley clips a four through midwicket, there's four more singles, and a Spark cover drive to the boundary gets him past fifty from 82 balls. A chanceless, crucial knock. Oram's figures are ruined from the last two overs, he's taken 0-44 in his 10.
40th over
Straight drive from Riley brings him four more, and that's seven from O' Brien's final over of his 1-38.
40 overs
CW 169/4
Spark 52 (83), Riley 44 (68)
CW require 14 runs at 1.4 rpo

41st over
McSkimming can do very little on his return to the attack as Spark backs away and cracks a cut shot through point for four. He keeps the strike with a single.
42nd over
That's a real shame for Riley. After Franklin concedes three more singles, Riley misses out on both staying to the end and a deserved fifty. Only himself to blame though, as after having got to 46 off 73 with proper cricket shots he ends it with a rank slog that loops to square leg. In comes Winne with 5 runs required.
43rd over
Spark takes a two onto the leg side, and a single down to long on. Winne has the privilege of hitting the winning runs as he eases his first ball into the on side for two - they've won.
CW won by five wickets
Man of the Match - Michael Spark
