Full commentary

New Zealand have thumped Kenya here, playing them out of the game as early as their own innings in which they piled up 331 for 7, with fifties from four of the top five. Ravi Shah topscored with 71 for Kenya, but he knew it was a losing cause.

Stephen Fleming will also be pleased with his bowlers, who did a tidy enough job, and the only shadow was Ross Taylor's hamstring strain, which he picked up while batting.

The Kiwis are, in fact, delighted to have qualified and to take two points through to the Super Eights. Kenya now face England on Saturday, with the winner going through.

Thanks for joining us today, do come back tomorrow when Bangladesh face Sri Lanka and Pakistan, in their last, emotional match, will take on Zimbabwe.
