Doug Bracewell to Kesrick Williams. Yorker, outside off stump no foot movement Steer, to deep backward point for 2 runs, fielded by Astle.
West Indies will carry some momentum going in at the halfway mark, but it is still a below par total. Evin Lewis held things together at the top of the order as everyone fell around him, and then was controversially given out leg before. The visitors looked like they would struggle to 220, but some late order bashing from Rovman Powell boosted them up to 248. Something to bowl at, but New Zealand favourites still.
OUT! Caught. Doug Bracewell to Rovman Powell. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Williamson. Probably hit that better than the previous delivery, but he doesn't get the elevation on this occasion. Belted straight into the hands of the New Zealand captain at long off.
SIX! Doug Bracewell to Rovman Powell. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Launched high and there is enough behind it to clear long off! Powell doing a cracking job at the back end here. He gets it in his arc, and wallops it for six more.

FOUR! Trent Boult to Rovman Powell. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Four more, and it brings up a wonderful maiden ODI fifty. Powell wildly swings outside the off stump, and gets a lucky thick edge over short third man for four. Super knock.
SIX! Trent Boult to Rovman Powell. Full toss, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Two in two. Powell cleanly connects here. Low full toss, and hammered straight back over the bowler's head for a maximum.
SIX! Trent Boult to Rovman Powell. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs, dropped catch by Nicholls. Would have been one of the great catches. Powell sits back in the crease, heaves to the legside, and strikes it hard and flat. Nicholls leaps up on the boundary edge, gets a hand to it, but cannot hold on.

As comfortable a chase as you will ever see. Colin Munro and George Worker got the Kiwis off to a flyer at the top of the order, and the rest tapped it around at four an over to see them home. Another dominating performance by the hosts on this tour, which sees them go 1-0 up in the three match series. Once again the Windies just not having the skills to compete. Can they change things round on Saturday for the second ODI though? Join us to find out.

OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Henry Nicholls. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Hope. This game should probably already be over with the way the hosts were going, but they are making a meal of things. Nicholls now departs, wafting at a short and wide delivery, and nicking through to the keeper. All these wickets are too late for the Windies though.
