7.6
Shillingford to Redmond, OUT, Redmond, looking to fcuk this round the corner, instead hits this straight into the waiting hands of Deonarine at leg slip, who is able to take a sharp chance. The West Indian fielders run around in celebration, and New Zealand are now 15 for 2
AJ Redmond c Deonarine b Shillingford 6 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR: 42.85
It was actually uc instead of cu in original commentary, they then updated it to “tuck”
at one stage, after the follow on, looked like WI facing an inning's plus 200+ run defeat then a double ton by bravo reduced it to a 9 or 10 wicket defeat...voila, after two quick wickets, the table is turned! a couple of wickets now will swing the match in favour of WI...let's see if WI can pull it off as a miraculous win.
in the other match, England once again is facing an uphill battle. they are 40+ for 1, chasing an Australian mammoth total of 609 for 9 DECLARED! :)
there you go...one more wicket of Ross Taylor will bring NZ side crumbling down and that would mean a stunning win by WI...come on guys...raze Ross' wicket if you wanna have this historic win. :)

11.4
Shillingford to Rutherford, OUT, and Rutherford has fallen hook, line and sinker as Shillingford entices him with another juicy tossed up delivery, as Rutherford goes through with the midwicket heave. Shannon Gabriel, stationed at long-on just for that shot, takes it easily in the end. Silly shot that as Rutherford was starting to open up
*HD Rutherford c Gabriel b Shillingford 20 (35b 3x4 0x6) SR: 57.14 *
Rain may save WI from losing this one :)
i think they will need just 3-4 overs to win the match...i'm sure they will get the chance to play at least that many overs. i think DRAW will be unfair to NZ.
