Pollock to McCullum,
1 wide,
a huge wide from Pollock. He saw the batsman marching at him like a dissident army, banged it in short and as a result it was hugely short
|
2.1 |
Pollock to McCullum,
SIX,
bang. Too short, too straight and pulled in front of square for six! Top shot
|
2.2 |
Pollock to McCullum,
OUT,
shot! But caught! He absolutely nailed that on the front foot; a crunching, satisfying crack of the bat, but the ball found cover who didn't need to move a muscle, taking an easy catch in front of his nose

Pollock to How,

2.5 |
Pollock to How,
2 runs,
nicely bowled, cramping him for room but he drops it out to cover and they scamper for a single. Danger in store though as the throw comes in; Vincent throws himself in to get over the line, the ball misses the stumps and they grab overthrows
|
2.6 |
Pollock to How,
SIX,
shot! He's timed the underwear off that, pulling it in front of square for six

Pollock to How,
no run,
beaten outside off again, the away swing just taking the ball away from his swishing bat

4.2 |
Pollock to How,
1 run,
fuller this time and he punches it to leg for a single
|
4.3 |
Pollock to Vincent,
FOUR,
carved past Boucher through the vacant first slip for four. Rubbish ball from Pollock, mind; too short and wide and, with only a second slip in place, the shot was on
|
4.4 |
Pollock to Vincent,
no run,
ah good comeback. Full, straight and defended. Pollock held that back a touch
|
4.5 |
Pollock to Vincent,
1 run,
a slower inswinger which he tries to pluck over midwicket for six but can't quite time it, and it drops like a mortar in the outfield
|
4.6 |
Pollock to How,
OUT,
gone this time. Poor shot; he tried to smack this over long-on but got a leading edge to mid-off who swallowed a simple skier

Pollock to Vettori,
OUT,
short, he tries to pull it but gets a top edge to Morkel at mid-on who back-peddles nicely to take a tumbling catch. New Zealand are finished
