Simon Doull | Pitch Report: Not a big hit down the ground, but some decent pockets. Hit the pitch hard. The weather has been good, nice grass coverage. It's full of runs. You need somwhere around 300, but I expect we need more. High scoring ground, and a great pitch.

Gurnoor Brar to Tim Seifert, out Caught by (sub)Ruturaj Gaikwad!! A wicket straight after the break! Brar puts in a little extra effort on this one and gets an immediate reward.

Gurnoor Brar to Tom Latham, out Caught&Bowled!! Wow! Gurnoor Brar plucks it out of thin air with his left hand! Takes the catch behind him while on his follow-through. As the commentator on air points out, it's not his naturally dominant hand, which makes it even more impressive. New Zealand have lost four wickets inside 17 overs and are in all sorts of trouble. Fuller this time, and Latham plays a tentative on-drive, only to chip it to the left of the tall bowler. Brar stretches out his left hand and it sticks.
