That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Mitchell Santner: I think on pitches like this you keep it simple. When the ball gets older, batting looks challenging. [On Lennox] He has done it for a long time at home where pitches don't really spin. He keeps things very simple.

Shai Hope: It's always challenging batting first in Guyana but you have to find ways to score runs even though they bowled well. The next two games, though, are in a different country. Some were spinning and bouncing, some were keeping low. You needed a bit of luck that we didn't have in the last two games. [On Lawes] He is bowling really well and he is very consistent.

Jayden Lennox is the Player of the Match: [On back-to-back match awards] It's pleasing but you don't play the game for personal records. It's no secret that I keep the stumps in play. And it's pretty simple for me. There is subtlety with wrist position but you put the ball in good areas, the pitch is going to assist. [On Santner] He has been a big inspiration and it has been great to lean on him.

8.20pm A win by six wickets for New Zealand and it gives them a 2-1 lead with two matches to go. The victory was set up by their spinners, Lennox, Bracewell and Santner. Lennox picked up four while Bracewell and Santner were frugal and took two each. Lawes kept New Zealand in check with three wickets but the target was too small.
