Broad to McCullum, FOUR, you go short, I hit you. You go full, I hit you. Broad overpitches, he makes room, and he goes over cover. This is a great exhibition of domination
1.5
Broad to McCullum, FOUR, incredible shot. Short of a length, just outside off, and he has somehow managed to punch it for almost a six. Great wrists and hands. The front leg goes away to make that little bit of room and he goes over point
1.4
Broad to McCullum, FOUR, gives him the charge again, and this time he has hit this length ball clean out of the crews. Over mid-on she goes. We might not have a supper break today
1.3
Broad to McCullum, no run, gives him the charge, makes room too, Broad follows him, beats the inside edge
1.2
Broad to McCullum, no run, big drive this time but straight to point
Mitch, in rainy: "What an absolute shambles that was by Broad. He's proved over the past year that he should either be batting at 11 or not at all, by swinging at everything in an attempt to get out as quickly as possible. With twenty overs still to go, its a complete disgrace. "
Only two slips for McCullum
1.1
Broad to McCullum, SIX, doesn't seem like McCullum want to play after supper. First ball from Broad and he has cut it for six. The first of the match. Just fast hands slight swivel to make room. And over point he goes
Richard: "Tim Southee's figures are more remarkable if you consider that he started the match with 20 balls at a run a ball; in the next 40 balls he conceded 12 runs and took 7 wickets."
New Zealand 28/0 (2.2 ov) ; RR 12.0
18 RUNS off the second over...
