New Zealand 140/7   DL Vettori 1* (1b)

17.1

Collingwood to Vettori, 3 runs, offcutter, Vettori back and pulls to square leg, well stopped on the boundary by Flintoff, showing unusual agility

17.3

Collingwood to Vettori, 1 run, slower, chipped back over the bowler, long-off chugs round to field

New Zealand 145/7   DL Vettori 5* (3b)

18.2

Flintoff to Vettori, 1 run, full toss patted to extra cover, he picks up well and misses with a throw at the non-striker's end

18.4

Flintoff to Vettori, 1 run, Vettori scampers two paces to the off, Flintoff sees him going (he did start off midway through his run-up) and follows him, Vettori can only steer into the leg side for the one

New Zealand 150/8   DL Vettori 7* (5b)

19.1

Broad to Vettori, 1 run, Vettori shimmies to leg, gives himself room and drives to long-off

19.3

Broad to Vettori, FOUR, again Vettori skips to the off side very early, Broad bowls a full toss and Vettori eases it behind square on the leg side. The gamble pays off ...

19.4

Broad to Vettori, FOUR, again Vettori walks to the off and this time helps the ball much finer on the leg side ... it went over his off stump, so far across had he gone

19.5

Broad to Vettori, 1 run, he steps to the leg this time and drives on the half volley over the covers, Mascarenhas fields a yard in from the rope

New Zealand 163/8   DL Vettori 17* (9b 2x4)
