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

49.0 - 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

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

47.5 - 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

47.3 - 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

47.1 - 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

46.5 - 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

46.2 - 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

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

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

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

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

38.0 - 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

37.2 - 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

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

36.1 - 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

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'

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

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

30.0 - Sammy to Guptill, FOUR, a boundary to spoil the over. Sammy drifted ever so slightly on the pads, Guptill flicked it past mid-wicket and the outfield does the rest. Sammy will be kicking himself for bowling there

22.5 - Samuels to Guptill, FOUR, too short from Samuels, Guptill will cut that all day long, this time as well he rocks back and cuts it past backward point, who was diving to his right and the ball races away to the fence

21.0 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, poor bowling from Benn, it was short and well outside off, Guptill won't miss out on a freebie as he rocks back and cuts it square of the wicket, the ball rockets away, this is great batting from the Kiwi opener

20.2 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill is playing really well here, it was a flighted delivery on the stumps, Guptill kneels down and sweeps it behind square on the on-side, the fielder at fine leg was inside the circle and the ball runs away to the boundary

19.0 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, great shot from Guptill to bring the team 100, it was dragged short and well wide outside off, Guptill rocks back and cuts it hard, splits the fielders at backward point and short third man to perfection, the ball races away to the fence in no time

12.0 - A Russell to Williamson, FOUR, you can't bowl there to Williamson, he is a magnificent back foot player, it was short and at the batsman, Williamson pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence, this boundary also brings up the 50-run stand between these two

10.3 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, this outfield is quick and the ground isn't too big either, it was a low full toss from Benn, Guptill comes on the front foot and drives it to the deep extra cover fence, Simmons from sweeper cover runs to his right but the ball had enough legs to reach the fence before him

9.2 - J Holder to Williamson, FOUR, that's a great shot from Williamson, it was a short of length delivery outside off, Williamson gets on top of the bounce and punches it sweetly square of the wicket, the fielder from cover-point gives chase but the ball beats him to the fence

8.1 - Benn to Guptill, FOUR, not a great way to start your spell, it was short and outside off, Guptill had enough time to rock back and he cuts it through backward point, the ball races away to the fence

7.0 - Jerome Taylor to Williamson, FOUR, gives width this time and Williamson goes hard after it, the ball flies off the outside edge and flies past the slip and runs away to the fence

6.3 - Jerome Taylor to Williamson, FOUR, full and angling in on middle stump line, Williamson shuffles across and works it beautifully to the deep mid-wicket fence

6.2 - Jerome Taylor to Williamson, FOUR, fullish this time and on off, Williamson leans forward into the drive and hits it uppishly towards the bowler, who bends low to his left but can't get a hand on it, the ball runs away to the fence

4.4 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, shortish and little width on offer and Guptill latches onto it in a flash, he cuts it to the sweeper cover fence and collects another four

3.3 - J Holder to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, that's a poor delivery from Holder, on the pads this time, McCullum whips it behind square on the on-side, the fielder at fine leg runs to his left but the ball rockets away to the fence

2.2 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, and again! Back-to-back boundaries for Guptill, another full delivery on middle stump line, Guptill drives it to the right of the bowler this time, the mid-on fielder gives chase, but the ball beats him to the fence

2.1 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, great shot from Guptill, it was full and on off, Guptill comes on the front foot and drives it past the bowler, who sticks out his left hand, but can't get to the ball, the ball races away to the fence

0.1 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, FOUR, fuller delivery with a hint of outswing on off and middle, Guptill leans forward and drives it past the non-striker, the ball runs away towards the long-on boundary as the mid-on and mid-off fielders give chase, Holder tries to boot the ball back in, but it rolls back onto the ad-cushion

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

49.1 - 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

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

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

45.0 - 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

44.5 - 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

44.1 - 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

43.0 - 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

42.4 - 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

41.2 - 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

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

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

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

3.4 - J Holder to Brendon McCullum, SIX, was that a one-handed catch? Yes, it was. It was banged in short and at the batsman, McCullum pulls it magnificently even though one hand came off the bat, the ball clears the deep backward square leg fence as well, someone in the crowd catches it too

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]

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]

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]

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]

16.0 - A Russell to Williamson, out Caught by Gayle!! The Kiwi vice-captain is gone against the run of play. He has thrown it away and it's a huge wicket for West Indies. It was a nothing ball from Russell, it was short and well outside off. The only good thing about it was that Russell took the pace off the ball, Williamson goes for the cut and was a touch early into the shot, he hits it straight to Gayle at short cover, who juggles it once before snaffling it properly. The men from the Caribbean are delighted with this wicket. Williamson c Gayle b A Russell 33(35) [4s-5]

4.2 - Jerome Taylor to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by J Holder!! Great catch and a big wicket for West Indies, it is McCullum who has perished while trying to go hard at the new ball. 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. Brendon McCullum c J Holder b Jerome Taylor 12(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

0.3 - Jerome Taylor to Guptill, no run, ohh dear! Samuels has dropped Guptill, how costly will this drop be? It was fuller and on the pads, Guptill flicks it uppishly towards square leg, where Samuels dives to his left and tries to take it, the ball hits him on the wrist, he juggles and fails to hold onto it

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

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

20.0 - A Russell to Guptill, 1 run, Guptill brings up his 23rd ODI fifty with this single, it was on a good length and just outside off, Guptill opens the face of the bat and bunts it towards sweeper cover, he will keep the strike

14.3 - Benn to Williamson, no run, drifting on middle and leg once again, Williamson leans forward and misses the forward push, the ball was however clipping the outer half of the leg stump as it didn't straighten enough, West Indies lose their review

30.0 - Southee to Benn, FOUR, fuller in length and around off, Benn stays back in the crease, clears his front leg and gets under it. He lofts it over the leaping McCullum at mid-on and the ball runs away to the fence, 6 boundaries have come off the last 2 overs

29.5 - Southee to Benn, FOUR, how did that miss the stumps? It was angled across off, Benn clears his front leg and has a wild swing at it, the ball takes the inside edge, runs past the off stump and crashes into the fine leg fence

29.1 - Southee to J Holder, FOUR, perfect placement from Holder, it was short and at the batsman, Holder stays leg-side and pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence

28.5 - Milne to J Holder, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Holder clears his front leg and lofts it inside-out and gets it wide of mid-off, the ball runs away to the fence, a hat-trick of boundaries for Holder now

28.4 - Milne to J Holder, FOUR, touch fuller and on middle stump line, Holder lofts it over mid-on, he didn't time it that well, but the ball had enough to beat the slide from Vettori, who was chasing it from mid-on

28.3 - Milne to J Holder, FOUR, another short one from Milne, Holder is quick to rock back and he pulls it magnificently to the deep mid-wicket fence, it went like a tracer bullet there

25.3 - Southee to Jerome Taylor, FOUR, more runs for Taylor, this was full and on the stumps, Taylor looks to drive, gets a thick inside edge, beats mid-wicket and races away to the fence in a hurry

25.2 - Southee to Jerome Taylor, FOUR, nicely played by Taylor, fuller length delivery and on the stumps, Taylor presents the full face of the bat and drives it past mid-on for a boundary

23.1 - Corey Anderson to J Holder, FOUR, on a good length and angling away from outside off, Holder waits on it and runs it past the lone slip, third man is very square and the ball races away to the fence

21.4 - Corey Anderson to A Russell, FOUR, short of a length and just outside off, Russell makes room and hacks it past mid-wicket, didn't get hold of the shot, but hits the gap and races away to the fence

19.0 - Vettori to J Carter, FOUR, 17 from the over, full-toss from Vettori, drilled past extra cover for a boundary, no need to run for those

18.3 - Vettori to Sammy, FOUR, Vettori is going for plenty here! This was tossed up and wider outside off, Sammy gets forward, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and goes inside out over extra cover for a boundary, McCullum at short cover leapt high and got his fingertips to it, but there was no catching that ball as it was travelling

16.3 - Milne to Sammy, FOUR, excellent effort from Williamson first, and then McCullum, but the ball hit the ropes. This was pitched up and just outside off, Sammy leaned forward, played with an open face and drives it past cover. Both gave chase, Williamson dragged it back into play, but the ball went back and hit the ropes, before McCullum could retrieve it with another dive

16.2 - Milne to Sammy, FOUR, that's not a bad way to get going, floaty half-volley from Milne, Sammy leans forward and drills it through extra cover for a boundary

15.2 - Boult to J Carter, FOUR, that's nicely played! Fraction short and well outside off, Carter swivels across and pulls it in front of square on the on-side, no chance for the man in the deep

12.4 - Milne to Gayle, FOUR, it's a 26-ball fifty for Gayle, who is coming back from injury. Short of a length delivery down the leg-side, Gayle gets a faint little tickle and it goes to fine leg. No celebrations from Gayle, he knows that the job is not done

11.5 - Boult to J Carter, FOUR, cracking shot! Full and just swinging away outside off stump, Carter drives very hard through that big gap between point and mid-off

11.3 - Boult to J Carter, FOUR, short and wide outside off stump, Carter rocks back and cuts it hard and sends it through backward point for four

8.5 - Southee to Samuels, FOUR, it's a top edge and it's good enough to get to the boundary. The fifty partnership comes off just 20 balls. Short and on the stumps, Samuels pulls and gets away with the edge, fine leg was way too square

8.2 - Southee to Samuels, FOUR, oh he's dug out a low full toss and it's gone for four. Southee tries the yorker, but misses, Samuels sends it through mid-wicket, Vettori gives chase but loses the race this time

8.1 - Southee to Samuels, FOUR, smashed! Good length delivery outside off stump, Samuels drives very hard through cover, the fielder dived to his left, but it was hit with immense power

5.0 - Southee to Gayle, FOUR, lofted in the air and again, the fielder is very wide. A man at conventional mid-on would have swallowed the ball. Full and outside off stump, Gayle lofts it through mid-on and picks up four. Looks like Gayle is in the mood. West Indies need him to come to the party

4.2 - Southee to Simmons, FOUR, driven uppishly and mid-off is very square. Calculated hit from Simmons. Good length delivery outside off stump, Simmons lifts it to the left of the bowler and picks up his first boundary

25.5 - Southee to J Holder, SIX, effortless hitting from Holder, short and on the stumps, Holder swivels across and helps it on its way, went sailing deep into the deep square leg boundary

24.1 - Vettori to J Holder, SIX, lovely shot, Holder joins the party, comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it high and back over the bowler's head, went sailing over the sight-screen for another six

24.0 - Corey Anderson to A Russell, SIX, another lovely shot, Russell is taking some anger off, width on offer from Anderson, he reaches out and slices it over backward point, hits the ad boards on the full, two big sixes to end the over

23.5 - Corey Anderson to A Russell, SIX, that made a cracking sound as it hit the bat, fraction short and just outside off, Russell rocks back and pulls it hard and flat, went sailing into the mid-wicket stands

19.5 - Boult to Sammy, SIX, Sammy has teed-off, this is an incredible strike! On a good length and just outside off, Sammy stays back, uses his wrists and lifts it high and over mid-off, goes sailing over the ropes for a maximum

18.5 - Vettori to J Carter, SIX, Carter is into the attack, slower and wider from Vettori, Carter goes down on his knees, fetches it from well outside off and sweeps it into the mid-wicket boundary for a massive six, one hand came off on impact, but there was plenty of bat on that

14.2 - Milne to Gayle, SIX, you might be one of the fastest bowlers around, but if you don't get your act right to Gayle, he'll smash you. Short and asking to be hit, Gayle pulls it handsomely over mid-wicket and that's his 8th six today

10.5 - Southee to Gayle, SIX, don't bowl length balls to this man when he's in the mood. Right in the slot, Gayle smashes it high over long-on. That was so easily done

10.3 - Southee to Gayle, SIX, flat hit and it's gone for six. Short and outside off stump, Gayle pulls it very hard again and the fielders could only watch the ball sail over the boundary

8.4 - Southee to Samuels, SIX, "oh lovely, that's gone for six as well," says Ian Bishop on air. Excellent shot from Samuels. Stays leg-side to this full ball, doesn't try to over-hit the ball and lofts it over extra-cover

7.5 - Boult to Gayle, SIX, it's high in the air and it's gone all the way. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Gayle stays on the back foot and plays a lofted shot, hits it very straight and clears long-on

7.0 - Vettori to Gayle, SIX, a hat-trick of sixes. Not sure why Baz introduced Vettori now. This was fired in flat, but Gayle slogged it hard enough for it to go over backward square leg. Wickets in hand will be the key for West Indies

6.5 - Vettori to Gayle, SIX, Vettori goes over the wicket, but it doesn't matter. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Gayle smashes it over deep mid-wicket again

6.4 - Vettori to Gayle, SIX, Gayle won't mind Vettori bowling! The ball will come into him and he can target mid-wicket as he has done now. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Gayle brings out the slog and hits it high over deep mid-wicket

5.2 - Boult to Simmons, SIX, that gets the West Indies supporters going. Full and outside off stump, Simmons backs away and carves it away over extra-cover

4.5 - Southee to Gayle, SIX, my word! He's hit that like a rocket. Short ball from Southee, Gayle climbs onto it and pulls it very hard, there was a man at deep mid-wicket, but it cleared him

30.3 - Vettori to J Holder, out Caught by Corey Anderson!! Holder backs away and looks to go over long-off, he doesn't get the required distance on that and offers a simple catch to Anderson at long-off. Anderson has his arms aloft as he charges in towards his team-mates. J Holder c Corey Anderson b Vettori 42(26) [4s-5 6s-2]

28.0 - Southee to Jerome Taylor, out Caught by Guptill!! West Indies lose their ninth wicket! This was the yorker length delivery and on the leg-stump line, Taylor was looking to jam it out, ends up scooping it straight to Guptill at short mid-wicket. No one was sure, the third umpire was called for. Replays suggested that Taylor was OUT and off he goes. Jerome Taylor c Guptill b Southee 11(12) [4s-2]

25.1 - Southee to A Russell, out Bowled!! Southee has a wicket now! This was full and on the stumps, Russell made room for the big heave over mid-wicket, connects with thin air, the off-stump is knocked back and it's the 8th wicket down. It's getting over rather too quickly. A Russell b Southee 20(11) [4s-1 6s-2]

22.3 - Vettori to J Carter, out Bowled!! Carter has yorked himself! He can't believe it, stares towards the non-striker for a few moments before walking away in anguish. This was tossed up ever so slowly by Vettori, gave plenty of air as well, Carter stepped forward on the drive, ends up playing all around the ball, it clips the off-stump, the zing bails go up, and it's the seventh wicket down. J Carter b Vettori 32(39) [4s-4 6s-1]

21.1 - Corey Anderson to Sammy, out Caught by Ronchi!! Sammy has thrown it away! West Indies needed to score at 8 RPO, but this is an awful shot from the former captain. Anderson banged one short as Sammy came down the track, he was in no position on the pull, ends up getting a top-edge. The ball went straight up and very high, Ronchi calls for the catch and holds on. Sixth wicket down and the end is nigh. Sammy c Ronchi b Corey Anderson 27(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

16.1 - Milne to Gayle, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! That should be the game for New Zealand. This was pitched up and went with the angle, Gayle cleared his right leg and looked to hoick it over mid-wicket, gets an inside edge and the off-stump goes cart-wheeling. Milne is delighted to bits, he is mobbed by his mates. Gayle raises his bat towards the crowd as he walks away, perhaps for the final time in a World Cup match. Gayle b Milne 61(33) [4s-2 6s-8]

9.5 - Boult to Ramdin, out Lbw!! Thankfully no review from Ramdin. It would have been an absolute waste of time. Plumb in front. Nothing but a good length delivery on the stumps, Ramdin looks to drive but misses, gets hit on the pad. The impact was so hard that it twisted the pad. He was hit around the off stump and it would have crashed into middle and leg. All four wickets to Boult and he's on fire. Ramdin lbw b Boult 0(4)

9.1 - Boult to Samuels, out Caught by Vettori!! Oh! What a catch Daniel Vettori. The youngster has taken a ripper. It looked as if it was going for six, but he's jumped high at the last moment and grabbed a left-handed stunner. How old is he? 18, 20? Gee! Short and outside off stump, Samuels backs away and cuts, doesn't bother to keep it down. He was looking to clear the boundary. Vettori at third man was so cool. He watched the ball all the way, just jumped at the right moment. The timing was so important and he's taken it brilliantly. Can someone give him a million dollars to take a one-handed catch? After Vettori completed the catch, the entire New Zealand team rushed to his fielding position and mobbed him. Samuels c Vettori b Boult 27(15) [4s-3 6s-1]

5.3 - Boult to Simmons, out Caught by Guptill!! Boult has his revenge. Full and outside off stump, Simmons goes for the drive, but gets a thick edge, the ball flies to second slip where Guptill takes an easy catch to his right. Just when the batsmen were looking to be positive, West Indies have lost a key wicket. Second wicket for Boult. Simmons c Guptill b Boult 12(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

1.2 - Boult to Charles, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! A nothing shot from Charles. Fullish inswinger on the off stump, Charles stays leg-side and looks to force the drive through cover, misses the ball completely and it uproots the off stump. Not the ideal start for West Indies chasing a mammoth total. I hope West Indies give a good fight. Quite often, these high-scorers turn out to be one-sided contests. Charles b Boult 3(6)

6.0 - Boult to Samuels, 1 run, punched wide of cover, they take a quick single, Baz rushes to the ball quickly and has a shy at the striker's end but misses. A direct-hit would have been out as Gayle was struggling to make his ground. After completing the run, Gayle has a chat with Guptill in the slip cordon

3.0 - Southee to Gayle, no run, McCullum shakes his head as he walks back to his mark. The keeper hardly appealed, but Southee was absolutely convinced and that forced Baz to send it upstairs. This is ugly batting from Gayle. Pokes a long way away from the body at this short of length delivery, the ball just nips away and beats the bat
