Tim Southee4-0-39-1

Well what a thrilling finish! West Indies will have feel they could have won the game with Gayle starting off so strong but New Zealand will also feel that they were ahead in the last few overs.

We will now have one super over for each team. 3 batsmen and one bowler are chosen for each team who are bowl one over each on the same pitch with the same ball. West Indies batted second so they will have the first super over. If two wickets fall then the team is out and no more balls will be bowled.

19.6

Southee to Benn, 1 run, he gets bat on it and angled away to backward point. Oram jumps on it and hold on to the ball as they sprint one. And that's it the game is tied! We will now have the first ever super over to settle the teams.

2 runs for the win. Only 1 needed for a tie. The tension around the ground is unbearable

19.5

Southee to Benn, FOUR, fuller and wide delivery which Benn takes a swipe at. It catches a thick outside edge and runs fine away for four! Light at the end of the tunnel for West Indies

6 runs needed off the last 2 balls now. Or 5 runs for a tie

19.4

Southee to Taylor, OUT, swing and a miss and they try and run but it's suicide really as McCullum rolls the ball against the stumps

FH Edwards run out 1 (1m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50

19.3

Southee to Edwards, 1 run, makes contact and driven through the off-side but picked up a deep cover. Just one and huge cheers from the crowd

7 off 4 now

19.2

Southee to Edwards, no run, short of a length and Edwards misses with the pull shot

Fidel Edwards to the crease

19.1

Southee to Findlay, OUT, pitched up and going away from the batsmen. He takes a wild swipe at it and the ball just nicks off the toe and McCullum gathers the ball. First blood to the Kiwis

SE Findlay c †McCullum b Southee 19 (31m 17b 2x4 0x6) SR: 111.76

Southee to bowl the last over

END OF OVER:

7 runs needed off the last over

18.6

Mills to Findlay, 1 run, pulled away through square leg and they take one more

18.5

Mills to Taylor, 1 run, bottom edge squirts past McCullum and they pick up another

18.4

Mills to Taylor, 2 runs, straight drive down the ground and it looks like just one. They turn quick and come back for a second and Mills cannot gather the ball at the stumps to complete the run-out

18.3

Mills to Taylor, no run, slower ball outside off stump and the batsmen misses

18.2

Mills to Taylor, FOUR, improvised shot from Taylor as he shuffles across his stumps before angling the bat and leaning the ball over the short leg fielder using the pace of the bowler. Runs away for four

18.1

Mills to Findlay, 1 run, good ball in to his body but it's blocked away to the leg-side and they hurry a single

The West Indies team are sitting on the edge of their seats outside the pavilion. The Kiwi crowd are buzzing with excitement. Kyle Mills is being entrusted with the penultimate over

Oram to Findlay, 1 run, clipped in to square leg and they run one

17 needed off 13 now

17.5

Oram to Findlay, FOUR, full toss which is pulled away through square leg and well-timed enough to reach the rope. Poor bowling

17.4

Oram to Taylor, 1 run, pulls it away through square leg. Picked up on the boundary

17.3

Oram to Taylor, no run, full toss on leg-stump. The batsmen misses with the drive and it misses leg-stump by a coat of paint! Big sigh from the players and the crowd

17.2

Oram to Taylor, 2 runs, goes for the big shot and it goes high over his head behind the keeper and the ball drops in between three fielders who just couldn't get there in time. Quick turn and they come back for two

17.1

Oram to Taylor, no run, slower ball and he misses with the cut outside off
