James Neesham creates room and lofts it off the toe-end of the bat, but couldn't get the distance to sail it over the ropes and it goes straight down the throat of Matthew Forde at long off. James Neesham falls for a run-a-ball 11 and New Zealand are 100/7.

Seales bowls it on a short of a good length, on middle. Kyle Jamieson clears the front leg and pulls it, but does not get the required elevation to clear long on. Finds Jason Holder in the deep who runs to his right and extends his long levers to grab the catch around his shoulder. Kyle Jamieson goes for 2 (3) and New Zealand are 107/9.

SIX! TAKE THAT, SAYS SANTNER! Hits the hard length, does Romario, on off. Mitchell Santner picks the length in a trice, transfers the weight on the back foot and heaves it strongly over wide long on for a six. Now then, 14 runs needed off 3 balls!

IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! A brilliant effort whatsoever from Brandon King! Full and outside off, Mitchell Santner lofts it over mid off, but since it is hit off the toe end of the bat, it does not have the wheels to travel all the way. Brandon King from the extra cover region, runs behind and flings himself in that direction to catch it with one hand, but the ball is grassed as he tumbles over. Two taken. And that will be FIFTY FOR MITCHELL SANTNER! Off just 26 deliveries. 

Excellent fielding effort! A certain boundary surely saved and that should do enough for West Indies. Shepherd goes full and around off, Santner gets his bat underneath the ball and drills it to the right of the bowler. The ball is travelling but Matthew Forde from mid off, flies to his left, extends his hands to slap the ball to the mid on region. No run taken. 

FOUR! But in vain! Romario Shepherd lands it full and outside off, Mitchell Santner gives himself some room and slaps it to deep extra cover for a boundary. This is the lowest total ever defended at Eden Park in T20Is. WEST INDIES BEAT NEW ZEALAND BY 7 RUNS!
