16.5 -
Chibhabha to Williamson, FOUR, that is the shot of the innings, for me. A very difficult shot to execute and Williamson made it look utterly easy. Back of a length just outside off, he stands tall and lofts the punch over extra cover, the timing and placement were superb
15.1 -
John Nyumbu to Guptill, FOUR, fantastic shot! Nice floaty delivery outside off, Guptill gets a good stride forward and lofts through the line, gets it over mid-off and it goes on the bounce to the fence
14.3 -
Chibhabha to Williamson, FOUR, can't bowl short with that pace, it sat up nicely for Williamson, who rocks back and pulls in front of square. That should get him going

1.4 -
Neville Madziva to Latham, FOUR, first runs on the board. Not the best of ways to get off the mark, but Latham will take that. Short and bit of width on offer, Latham flashes a cut, the outside edge flies over the second slip fielder
47.4 -
Sean Williams to Nathan McCullum, SIX, Williams goes very full and McCullum slogs across the line, more importantly makes very good contact and sends it over the deep mid-wicket boundary. 250 up for New Zealand
47.0 -
Panyangara to Neesham, SIX, gee! That's a muscular hit from Neesham. Full and in the slot, Neesham absolutely smashes it over long-on and it went a long way back into the stands. 17 off the over, just what New Zealand wanted at this stage
35.4 -

16.1 -
Chibhabha to Williamson, SIX, terrific shot! Length delivery right in the slot, Williamson comes forward and lofts across the line, got it off the meat and the ball sailed over deep mid-wicket. No one saw that coming. At least this early in his innings
45.5 -
Sean Williams to Ronchi, out Caught by Neville Madziva!! Cracking shot but he's picked the fielder out to perfection. Certainly not a wicket taking delivery but Sean Williams will take it. Rank long hop, Ronchi rocks back and pulls very hard, the bat made a sweet sound as it made contact with the ball, however, it went flat and straight to deep mid-wicket. Ronchi c Neville Madziva b Sean Williams 7(15) [4s-1]
40.2 -
John Nyumbu to Williamson, out Caught by C Ervine!! Oh that is a brilliant catch by Craig Ervine. Has he stepped beyond the rope? No he hasn't! Expertly done. Clever bowling from Nyumbu as he dragged the length back on seeing Williamson advance, the batsman couldn't get to the pitch of the ball, yet he went through with the loft, didn't hit it that well, long-on ran to his left, caught it just before the rope. He realised that the momentum was taking him beyond the boundary and released the ball before he could cross, quickly recovered and timed his jump to perfection to grab it again in time. It needed some brilliance to dismiss Williamson and Ervine was spectacular indeed. Williamson c C Ervine b John Nyumbu 90(109) [4s-8 6s-1]
39.4 -
Cremer to Elliott, out Caught by Chigumbura!! Third wicket for Cremer and he's bowled very well today. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Elliott goes for the sweep once again but this time gets a top edge, Chigu placed himself at short fine leg and took an easy catch. End of a fine 70-run stand. Elliott c Chigumbura b Cremer 36(38) [4s-3 6s-1]
26.3 -
Cremer to Munro, out Bowled!! Wicket number two for Cremer and that's a beautiful delivery. Poor stroke from Munro. Nicely tossed up from Cremer, pitches outside off stump, Munro plays across the line, it was a bit of swipe, he wasn't to the pitch of the ball and it turned back to clip the top of middle and off. Munro b Cremer 9(14)
20.5 -
Cremer to Guptill, out Caught by H Masakadza!! Lovely bowling from Cremer. A typical leg-spinners wicket that. Flighted delivery on off, Guptill is drawn forward to defend, the ball turns and takes the outside edge, Masakadza takes a good low catch diving to his right. A much needed wicket for Zimbabwe as this partnership was looking dangerous. Guptill c H Masakadza b Cremer 42(50) [4s-6]
10.0 -
John Nyumbu to Latham, out Caught by Cremer!! Needless! He had just hit a boundary off the previous ball. Latham comes down the track, gets too close to the ball, wanted to go over mid-on, but ends up dragging it towards mid-wicket, Cremer dived to his left and took a terrific catch. The umpires check for a no-ball, Nyumbu is fine. They also check whether it was a clean, it is and Latham is on his way. Latham c Cremer b John Nyumbu 16(29) [4s-2]
