Martin Guptill is trending on twitter. Here's a collection of a few tweets

@mohanstatsman: Highest WC scores....
Gary Kirsten's 188* lasted 19y-8d
Chris Gayle's 215 lasted 25 days!
Martin Guptill 237* for how long?

@prempanicker: Samuels — who dropped Guptill on 4 - has hit 203 runs in 6 games with 17 fours and 4 sixes. And watched MG hit 23 4s and 11 6s (233 runs)

@rob_zooter: That was an absolute flogging...153 in the last 10 overs and one of the great ODI innings..#nzvwi

@johnkeypm: Amazing double century by @Martyguptill, congratulations!

@cricketaakash: No reverse sweeps, no scoops, no switch hits...Guptil's 237 has shown that there's room for some old-fashioned cricket too. Well played.

Guptill: "It's a great feeling. The job is only half done now, we've got to go out there and finish it off. I thank the crowd for coming in and supporting us. Obviously there is pressure, but you try and put that behind. Luckily, it paid off today. It was good to spend a bit of time out there (against Bangladesh) and it was good to play the 50 overs here. It's a bit tough at the start, but once you get in, you can score freely."

For the West Indies to have any chance of chasing down this mammoth target, they need Gayle to fire on all cylinders. In short, New Zealand will back themselves to win this game.

Earlier, McCullum came out all guns blazing, but Holder took an excellent catch off Jerome Taylor to send him back to the pavilion. Runs flowed smoothly from Kane Williamson's bat before Russell snared his wicket. West Indies also would rue the fact that Marlon Samuels dropped a catch at square leg to give Guptill a reprieve in the very first over of the innings.

Once he completed his century, Guptill touched noteworthy crests by playing power-packed shots. In the 38th over, he twinned brilliant wrist-work and power to clout Taylor for 16 runs. By then he had already muscled Darren Sammy for a 101-metre six. He also clobbered Jason Holder for two sixes in the 43rd over and reached his double century in style with a boundary. To put the icing on the cake, the six he smashed off Andre Russell in the final over was a 110-metre six! Ross Taylor too played his part by playing a useful hand to score 42. Unlike Guptill, Taylor didn't exactly bisect the gaps to send the fielders on a leather hunt. However, it was his partnership with Guptill that helped New Zealand to set the platform for a monstrous total. Once Taylor was dismissed, Grant Elliott played imperious strokes as well.

Guptill played with placid calmness at the start of his innings as he looked to present the full face of the bat to collect boundaries straight down the ground. Jerome Taylor bowling half-volleys didn't help West Indies' cause. Despite losing Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson, Guptill continued to unfurl a series of boundaries to put more pressure on the opposition.

Martin Guptill, with his sparkling spread of run-scoring made the opposition camp feel the full weight of his meaty willow to crack a believe-it-or-not innings of 237 not out and take them to a massive total. Guptill with his double hundred broke a slew of records. Guptill turned out to be only the second batsman to crack a double ton in World Cups and broke the record for the highest individual score in World Cups. Interestingly, Chris Gayle's double hundred also came in this mega event. His knock is the second highest individual score in the history of ODIs. He became the first batsman from New Zealand to compile back-to-back centuries in the history of the World Cup. Guptill scored consecutive hundreds for the second time in his ODI career. He is only the second batsman from his country to amass a score of 100 plus in a knockout game. He now holds the record for the highest individual score by a cricketer from New Zealand as well.

Some of the crowd wearing the orange t-shirts bow down to Martin Guptill for his brilliance, while Mrs. Guptill gets very emotional in the stands. He gets a standing ovation now. Phew! What a knock. So if you are dropped on 4, you go on to make a double-hundred I guess. Remember, Rohit Sharma was dropped on 4, when he made 264 at the Eden Gardens a few months ago.

49.6 - A Russell to Guptill, 2 runs, fine yorker on the leg stump, Guptill digs it out towards deep mid-wicket, Holder fumbles and they steal a second run as well. Russell is not happy with his captain's effort and he flicks the bails off at the bowler's end in anger. Sulieman Benn walk up to Guptill and congratulates him for his knock

49.5 - A Russell to Guptill, FOUR, he's squeezed that out for four! Full and outside off stump, Guptill drives it over backward point and gets to 235

49.4 - A Russell to Guptill, SIX, in the airrrrr and just over Jerome Taylor at long-off. Russell misses the yorker again, bowls it in the slot for the batsman to go big, Guptill doesn't try to overhit the ball, just lofts it over long-off

49.3 - A Russell to Guptill, 2 runs, full and outside off stump, Guptill drills it to long-off, Vettori races back for the second and that's great running from the veteran

49.2 - A Russell to Guptill, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Guptill slogs and misses

49.1 - A Russell to Guptill, SIX, oh my word! He's hit that onto the roof. A full toss and Guptill smacks it high and handsomely over deep mid-wicket for a 110-metre hit. After that Guptill goes to the non-striker, who pats him on the back. Guptill then realised that he is the second man to hit the ball on the roof at this ground and he signals two to the dressing room to tell them the same thing. He was making that signal to Craig McMillan, the Kiwi batting coach, who was the first man to do so. The camera then focusses on Craig McMillan, who acknowledges the signal and gives a thumbs up to Guptill

48.6 - Jerome Taylor to Vettori, FOUR, this is unfair, Daniel Vettori! He walked right across the stumps, Taylor followed him with a yorker, Vettori tried to flick it, but the ball took the inside edge and went past the stumps to the boundary

48.5 - Jerome Taylor to Vettori, FOUR, Vettori gets a four first ball! Full and in the slot, the slower ball in fact, but not good enough to trouble Vettori, who slogs it through mid-wicket

Daniel Vettori, left handed bat, comes to the crease

48.4 - Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, out Caught by Benn!! Soft dismissal. West Indies hardly celebrate. A fine yorker from Taylor, it was slightly down the leg-side, Ronchi flicks and picks out backward square leg to perfection. Ronchi is livid that he hit it straight to the fielder. Ronchi c Benn b Jerome Taylor 9(5) [4s-2]

Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

48.3 - Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, no run, slower ball outside off stump, Ronchi swings early and misses

48.2 - Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, FOUR, want runs? Rush to the Cake Tin! West Indies are offering freebies. Length and in the slot, Ronchi slogs it over mid-wicket and long-on had no chance

48.1 - Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, FOUR, great start to the over again for the Black Caps. Fullish and outside off stump, Ronchi looks to drive but gets a thick edge that goes fine to the third man boundary

47.6 - A Russell to Guptill, no run, slower delivery outside off stump, Guptill swings and misses

47.5 - A Russell to Guptill, FOUR, this is some display from Guptill! Full and wide outside off stump, Guptill reaches out and lofts it handsomely over extra-cover for a one bounce four, this is now the highest score in World Cup history

47.4 - A Russell to Guptill, no run, Guptill backs away early, Russell bowls a wide yorker and Guptill couldn't reach out

47.3 - A Russell to Guptill, FOUR, misses the yorker and bowls a low full toss, Guptill swings across the line and hits it along the ground to the deep mid-wicket boundary this time

47.2 - A Russell to Guptill, SIX, wow! West Indies keep offering juicy full balls and Guptill doesn't miss out. Slogged hard and over deep mid-wicket

47.1 - A Russell to Guptill, FOUR, that's it! Sixth double-hundred in ODI cricket and the first New Zealander to do it. This is also the first double-hundred in a World Cup knockout game. What a moment for Guptill. The Cake Tin stands and applauds. His wife is absolutely elated in the stands. What an innings! Full and outside off stump, Guptill smashes it through mid-off for four. Guptill had his hands aloft as he runs, takes the helmet off and raises his bat to acknowledge the applause. His wife is punching the air in delight and he gets a hug from Ronchi. He was dropped on 4 alright, but he has been unstoppable since then

46.6 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, 1 run, short delivery on the leg stump, Guptill pulls it to deep mid-wicket

46.5 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, has that gone all the way? Noooo! Just lands inside the rope. Full and on the leg stump, can't bowl there to a batsman batting on 194, Guptill clears his front leg and smashes it hard and straight back over the bowler's head

46.4 - Jerome Taylor to Ronchi, 1 run, full toss on the off stump, Ronchi drills it to long-on

Luke Ronchi, right handed bat, comes to the crease

46.3 - Jerome Taylor to Elliott, out Lbw!! Full and on the stumps, Elliott would have backed himself to smash that out of the ground, goes too much across the stumps and misses the ball as he swings hard, gets hit on the back leg. The impact was on middle and off and it looked absolutely plumb. The umpire had no hesitation in his mind and Elliott consumed the review as well. Anyway, he's played a fine cameo. Elliott lbw b Jerome Taylor 27(11) [4s-2 6s-2]

Jerome Taylor to Elliott, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Elliott has been given OUT LBW, but he's reviewed it. I think it's a waste. Looked pretty OUT. "Fair delivery," says Tucker. "We'll move to spin vision please. We'll go to RTS (Reat Time Snicko) please. I am happy with that. No bat involved. Can we go to ball-tracking please? Okay, that's pretty good, impact in line and you can stay with your decision," adds Tucker.

46.2 - Jerome Taylor to Elliott, FOUR, no Jerome Taylor, no! He tries to take pace off the ball but doesn't get the length right, offers a length ball in the end and Elliott, who made slight room and smashed it over cover. The ball bounced just inside the rope

46.1 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, 1 run, good length delivery on the off stump, Guptill swings and gets an inside edge that rolls to square leg

Jerome Taylor [5.0-0-44-1] is back into the attack

New Zealand have scored 46 runs off the last 2 overs. Now 380 looks very possible!

45.6 - A Russell to Elliott, no run, clever stuff from Russell, Elliott backed away early, Russell fired this full and outside off stump and the batsman was just ball-watching anticipating a wide

45.5 - A Russell to Elliott, SIX, this is unfair for the bowler! It was short and wide outside off stump, Elliott goes for the pull and he hits it over the deep mid-wicket fence. What a shot! He almost flat-batted that

45.4 - A Russell to Elliott, SIX, Russell tries the yorker, but bowls a juicy full ball, Elliott takes his front leg out of the way, goes deep in the crease as well and goes banngggg, over deep square leg

45.3 - A Russell to Guptill, 1 run, top edge, but doesn't carry to long leg. Short ball on the stumps, Guptill pulls and gets away with the edge

45.2 - A Russell to Guptill, FOUR, this is lazy stuff from Sulieman Benn! Surely had to put in the dive. This is Guptill's highest ODI score. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Guptill tucks it along the ground through backward square leg, Benn runs to his left from fine leg, he wasn't too far away but doesn't employ the dive

45.1 - A Russell to Elliott, 1 run, low full toss, Elliott hits it back at the bowler, who tries to grab it with his right hand in his followthrough and misses

45.1 - A Russell to Elliott, wide, full and down the leg-side, Elliott tries to tickle it away, but misses

44.6 - J Holder to Guptill, SIX, it's six more! Got to get your length right Jason Holder. These boundaries aren't big enough for Guptill. This is absolute carnage from Guptill. Full and outside off stump, Guptill doesn't try to overhit the ball, just lofts it over extra-cover and times it extremely well. 27 came off that over

44.6 - J Holder to Guptill, wide, short and on the stumps, Guptill lets it go, but the umpire doesn't like the height on that one

44.5 - J Holder to Guptill, SIX, wow! Guptill doesn't even bother looking up. Something that MS Dhoni did a few years ago in New Zealand after hitting the ball into the stands. Overpitched from Holder, Guptill slogs it over wide long-on and it goes a long way back into the stands

44.4 - J Holder to Elliott, 3 runs, top edge but it goes over the keeper. Short and on the stumps, Elliott goes for the pull and gets an edge, Guptill quickly returns for the third run

44.3 - J Holder to Elliott, FOUR, rank long hop and ohhhh dear! Johnson Charles has overran the ball. Short delivery on the stumps, Elliott pulls it to deep mid-wicket, Charles runs to his right but the ball spins away at the last moment and foxes him

44.2 - J Holder to Guptill, 1 run, full and outside off stump, Guptill lofts this over wide mid-off and it goes on the bounce to the man in the deep

44.1 - J Holder to Guptill, SIX, this is the highest score by a New Zealand player in World Cup cricket. The change of angle doesn't work for Holder. He misses the yorker once again and bowls a full ball, it's in the slot and Guptill slogs it over mid-wicket, deep mid wicket runs to his left and jumps but the ball evades him

Holder comes round the wicket

Alright! Six overs to go. Can New Zealand get to 340-350? They should be able to get there I guess!

43.6 - A Russell to Elliott, no run, short ball on the stumps, Elliott gets inside the line and pulls, but misses the ball

43.5 - A Russell to Elliott, 2 runs, easily guided away to the right of the third man and good running gives Elliott and New Zealand two

43.4 - A Russell to Guptill, 1 run, overpitched, but Guptill only manages to flick it along the ground to deep mid-wicket

43.3 - A Russell to Elliott, 1 run, sensible stuff from Elliott, just dabs the good length delivery towards gully and gets Guptill back on strike

Grant Elliott, right handed bat, comes to the crease

43.2 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, out Caught by Gayle!! Russell gets another wicket with a slower ball. It was bowled at 122.5kph, Anderson thought it was a length ball and swung early, the ball goes off the toe-end of the bat and goes towards mid-wicket. Gayle moves to his right and jumps a touch to catch it with both hands to his right. West Indies will be happy to see the back of Anderson as he could have done a lot of damage in the last few overs. Corey Anderson c Gayle b A Russell 15(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

A Russell to Corey Anderson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

43.1 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, no run, fires this full and wide outside off stump, Anderson reaches and squeezes it, but picks back backward point

42.6 - J Holder to Guptill, SIX, oh dear! A friendly full toss and Guptill helps himself to another six. This time Guptill swings across the line and sends it high over deep square leg. The West Indies captain not getting his act right in that over, 16 came off it

42.5 - J Holder to Guptill, 2 runs, he's dug out a yorker and got two. The ball rolled gently to mid-on and before long-on could tidy up, Anderson raced back for the second

42.4 - J Holder to Guptill, SIX, goes aerial and goes all the way. Dropped in the crowd! Juicy full ball outside off stump, Holder missed the yorker and Guptill got under it easily, lofted it over extra-cover for another maximum, his 4th of the day

41.6 - A Russell to Guptill, 1 run, yorker outside off, dug out and a single taken on the off-side

41.5 - A Russell to Guptill, 2 runs, Carter fumbles at deep square leg. He is generally a very good fielder, but makes a mistake that time after Guptill whipped that off his pads

41.5 - A Russell to Guptill, wide, low full toss, down leg, Russell went for the yorker and lost direction

41.4 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, 1 run, very full outside off, Corey Anderson drives and mistimes it to mid-off. Gets a single though

41.3 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, FOUR, shows his cricketing awareness by lofting over mid-off. It was a full ball on the stumps, predictable really and Corey Anderson was up for it. Gets it over the fielder inside the ring

41.2 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, SIX, top edge goes all the way. Russell again dug it in short, Corey Anderson was waiting for it and the top edge helps him get a six to deep backward square leg. Brute power from Anderson

41.1 - A Russell to Corey Anderson, no run, Corey Anderson is early into the pull and he misses out, Russell bowling short and getting away

Andre Russell [5.0-0-20-1] is back into the attack

40.6 - Benn to Guptill, no run, Benn gets away with a poor delivery, it was short and on middle and leg, pulled straight to the fielder at short fine. Either side of the fielder and it was a boundary

40.5 - Benn to Corey Anderson, 1 run, fired in and very full on the stumps, drilled to long-on

40.5 - Benn to Corey Anderson, wide, fired down leg. Good take by Ramdin

40.4 - Benn to Corey Anderson, no run, flicked straight to the fielder at short mid-wicket

40.3 - Benn to Guptill, 1 run, 150 for Guptill and he once again shows his bat to someone in the crowd. Could be Mrs Guptill. She is all smiles as she claps. Guptill got there with a cut to the right of point. Can he get to 200? It is very much a possibility

40.2 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill sweeps it away. So easy. On middle, he knelt down and got it over the men on the on-side inside the ring. Punches gloves with Corey Anderson after scoring that boundary

40.1 - Benn to Guptill, no run, slower and on the stumps, the ball stops on Guptill who was looking for the big hit, he eventually adjusts and defends back to Benn

39.6 - J Holder to Corey Anderson, 2 runs, slower delivery, sits up a bit for Corey Anderson to club that past the diving extra cover, Carter runs around from sweeper and does well, keeps it to two

39.5 - J Holder to Corey Anderson, no run, pitches outside leg and Corey Anderson misses out on the flick, looks for a leg bye but it isn't there

39.5 - J Holder to Corey Anderson, no run, pitches outside leg and Corey Anderson misses out on the flic

39.2 - J Holder to Guptill, 1 run, short of length and angling back in, Guptill opens the face of the bat and runs it down to third man

39.1 - J Holder to Guptill, FOUR, very poor bowling from Holder. It was an off-speed delivery, short and wide outside off, Guptill slashes over cover, almost went all the way, one bounce over the ropes

Jason Holder [5.0-0-26-0] is back into the attack

38.6 - Benn to Corey Anderson, no run, turning in, cramped for room on the cut is Corey Anderson, who mistimes it to point

38.5 - Benn to Corey Anderson, no run, tossed up outside off, Corey Anderson gets forward and pushes it back to Benn

Guptill was on his knees as he swept. When he looked up, Ross Taylor was near him, he said no, but it was too late

38.4 - Benn to Guptill, 1 run, flat on leg stump, turned to square leg

Corey Anderson, left handed bat, comes to the crease

38.3 - Benn to Guptill, out Ross Taylor Run Out!! It had to happen. The run-out that is. Guptill swept and missed to a ball down leg, Ross Taylor set off for the leg bye and Ramdin runs forward and calmly passed the ball to Benn who did the rest. Ross Taylor was not even in the frame. Some respite for West Indies. Ross Taylor run out (Ramdin/Benn) 42(61) [4s-2]

Benn to Guptill, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

38.2 - Benn to Guptill, SIX, Guptill is turning it on now. Floated up outside off, Guptill lofts through the line and it went 20 rows back at long-off. Just got forward and went for the shot. Cleared the fielder comfortably. Dropped in the crowd. But not by anyone wearing the Orange tee

38.1 - Benn to Ross Taylor, 1 run, Ross Taylor uses his feet and taps it to long-on

37.6 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, short-arm flick that was and it has gone straight to the boundary. Full and on off, Guptill whipped that with strong wrists and generated enough leverage to beat long-on

37.5 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, SIX, swung away! Jerome Taylor misses his length, bowls it on a length outside off, Guptill picked him away with a flick of the wrists. The Kiwis in the crowd are a pumped up lot. They are right into the action

37.4 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, 2 runs, excellent running from Ross Taylor. He was the one who was pushing Guptill for the second. It was driven in front of long-on, Russell was the fielder there, he came charging forward, but the dive from Ross Taylor ensured he made it easy. Super stuff

37.3 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, no run, that's the length to bowl. Jerome Taylor gets the yorker right, dug out back to the bowler

37.2 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, slower delivery outside off, Guptill went over mid-wicket and even though the bat face closed on impact, he had enough on it to get it wide of the man running to his right from long-on

37.1 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, no run, back of a length outside off, Guptill stands tall and punches, but finds point

Jerome Taylor [4.0-0-28-1] is back into the attack

36.6 - Benn to Ross Taylor, no run, floated up on the stumps, Ross Taylor pushes it to the right of Benn

36.5 - Benn to Guptill, 1 run, nudged to mid-wicket, for a single as Benn pulls the length back and puts it on middle and leg

36.4 - Benn to Guptill, no run, cut again, but Benn gets away, Guptill finding point

36.3 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, another cut. Only Guptill knows how many cut shots he has played today. Off Benn. It was quicker and outside off, Guptill almost takes it off Ramdin's gloves and puts it away past the short third inside the ring

36.2 - Benn to Guptill, no run, now Benn beats Guptill outside off on the cut, it was way too full and a bit of extra bounce beat the shot

36.1 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, Benn is a disappointed man. He bowled it full and on the stumps, Guptill went for the big slog sweep and got a thick inside edge behind square, the fielder was inside the ring and there was no-one patrolling the fence in the deep

Sulieman Benn [7.0-1-42-0] is back into the attack

35.6 - Sammy to Guptill, 1 run, slower delivery outside off, softly dabbed to short third man, straight to the fielder

35.5 - Sammy to Guptill, SIX, 101-metre hit! Guptill golf-swung that over deep mid-wicket. It was just a length ball outside off and Guptill picked it up and used his long reach to muscle the ball. The ball kept sailing and sailing into the crowd. Sammy has his hands on his head and offers a meek smile

35.4 - Sammy to Guptill, no run, good length outside off, Guptill punches it to cover

35.3 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, 1 run, Ross Taylor nudges it to deep backward square leg, for a single

35.2 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, FOUR, the 100-run stand comes up with a late cut. Sammy turns away in disappointment. He knows that it was a bad delivery, short and outside off, Ross Taylor plays late and cuts wide of point, beats Taylor's chase. Guptill goes up to Taylor and knocks his bat, before telling 'come on'

35.1 - Sammy to Guptill, 1 run, full on the stumps, driven to long-off

Guptill then for the second time in his ODI career cracked back-to-back centuries. In his previous game he had scored a ton against Bangladesh. After a rather poor start, Guptill has found his touch in this World Cup. One striking aspect about his innings is that he has tended to play with a straight bat. The New Zealand camp would also be happy with Taylor scoring runs. With Guptill and Taylor lifting their game, the burden on Brendon McCullum's shoulders to fire at top of the order has considerably reduced.

West Indies' bowlers struggled to stem the run flow as Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor took advantage of it to check in a slew of boundaries. When bowlers bowl on both sides of the wicket, it becomes difficult for the captain to set a field. Guptill being mainly a front foot player and Taylor looking to play back, it perhaps made it difficult for the bowlers to adjust their lines and lengths. In fact, on occasions, Guptill even pulled and cut on the front foot.

Time for a Gatorade break

Batting powerplay time

34.6 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, no run, dabs it to short third, wants the quick single but it isn't there as Guptill sends him back

34.5 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, FOUR, Ross Taylor gets a boundary with a cheeky improvisation. He shuffles across and laps Samuels, beating short fine inside the ring. Used the angle and played it well

34.4 - Samuels to Guptill, 1 run, second 100 for Guptill in this World Cup! Wellington as a whole rise up on their feet. His wife is clapping in the crowd. Gets there with a single to long-on. Takes the helmet off and raises the bat to all corners of the Cake Tin. Ross Taylor walks up and gives him a hug. Second time that Guptill has made back-to-back hundreds in ODIs. First time that a Kiwi batsman has scored back-to-back hundreds in WCs

34.3 - Samuels to Guptill, 2 runs, opens the face of the bat and rocks back to play a late glide to third man, only a couple as the fielder fields by running back

The crowd start their slow-clapping as Guptill is on strike

34.2 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, 1 run, wrists it to the left of backward square leg, takes the single

34.1 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, no run, tossed up outside off, Ross Taylor gets forward and finds short mid-wicket

33.6 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, 1 run, back of a length on off, nudged to deep backward square leg, for a single

33.5 - Sammy to Guptill, 1 run, punched to long-off, Sammy went to his left but the ball was well wide of him

The crowd are cheering Guptill as he is just a hit away from a 100

33.4 - Sammy to Guptill, no run, pitched up outside off, driven straight to the fielder at cover

33.3 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, 1 run, a single as Ross Taylor tucks that to deep square leg

33.2 - Sammy to Guptill, 1 run, length outside off, Guptill shows the full face of the bat and drives to long-on

33.1 - Sammy to Guptill, no run, what happened there? All is well in the end. It was driven to Carter's right at point, Guptill was ball-watching as Ross Taylor came near him almost. Carter dived and fielded it, but the ball slipped out of his grasp, then Guptill started to run towards the other end, Ross Taylor too ran back. Guptill saw that and went back to his crease. The throw came in late, by then Guptill had made it back. Comical stuff

32.6 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, 2 runs, good running. Turns it with soft hands in front of deep mid-wicket, takes on the fielder and makes it back easily

32.5 - Samuels to Guptill, 1 run, Guptill gets a thick inside-edge of sorts on the drive through mid-wicket

32.4 - Samuels to Ross Taylor, 1 run, tossed up on the stumps, Ross Taylor nurdles a single to leg

32.3 - Samuels to Guptill, 1 run, shuffles across and nudges it through square leg

32.2 - Samuels to Guptill, no run, stays back and punches it to point, played with an open face

32.1 - Samuels to Guptill, FOUR, drilled! Well tossed up by Samuels and Guptill just drove that hard past the umpire. Beats Jerome Taylor running across from long-on. Well-hit. Moves into the nineties

31.5 - Sammy to Guptill, 1 run, pushed wide of short mid-wicket, Samuels fumbles and that makes it easy for the batsmen. Had he picked it up it would've been interesting

31.4 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, 1 run, nudged to deep backward square leg, for a single

31.4 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, wide, Sammy is appealing for something, but Ramdin was good behind the stumps as he flicked the bails off. Ross Taylor was going nowhere though. Slower delivery down leg, was it a ploy to get Ross Taylor out stumped? Could well have been. The batsmnan missed the glance, but didn't lift his foot or drag it out

31.3 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, no run, turned to short mid-wicket again

31.2 - Sammy to Ross Taylor, no run, 'that's the longest single I have seen not taken ever' says Sir Ian Botham. Well put Sir Ian. It was pushed to the right of the diving Sammy, who didn't get there. Samuels went to his left from short mid-wicket, tried to boot it and stop it. He didn't too.

Holder then took an excellent catch to send the dangerous McCullum back to the pavilion and after starting on a good note, Williamson was dismissed by Andre Russell. Guptill could have been dismissed as well, but Marlon Samuels dropped a catch at square leg. West Indies may pay for that drop catch as Guptill has looked in fine touch. The deck is flat and there is a chance of dew coming into play later on this match. The pacers may look to bowl cross-seam as a variation under lights.

Martin Guptill presented a full face of the bat to essay eye-catching shots down the ground. In fact, Jerome Taylor generated swing, but Guptill showed poise and balance to collect boundaries. Interestingly, Guptill is known as a lbw candidate against the new ball. Brendon McCullum too made his presence felt by thumping Jason Holder for 11 runs in fourth over. It can be difficult to bowl to McCullum as he is a very instinctive batsman. There is every chance that he may come down the wicket to a pacer or stay back in the crease.

It was full again with a touch of shape away just on middle, McCullum goes for the big lofted drive once again, but miscues it completely. The bat face turned on impact and he sliced it, the ball goes high in the air and Holder from mid-off runs to his left and takes a great catch running back and sideways. It was dropping over his shoulder but he used those long arms to great effect and stretched out to take a blinder. He is extremely delighted as he jumps and punches the air in delight.
