Fawad Alam to Taylor,
2 runs,
played off the legs to midwicket

14.2 |
Fawad Alam to Taylor,
2 runs,
driven out tamely wide of mid-on and there's another referral - McMillan's looking a combination of worried and furious but needn't worry as the direct shy just isn't quite enough
|
14.3 |
Fawad Alam to Taylor,
1 run,
driven out to long-off for an easy single

Umar Gul to Taylor,
no run,
driven out to mid-off, a dab really, and they shuffle through immediately
|
15.3 |
Umar Gul to Taylor,
1 run,
nipping in at the right hander, played down off the back foot and a quick single is a risky one too, as he was nearly run out at the non-striker's end. Direct hit would have had him gone

16.1 |
Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor,
no run,
tight delivery
|
16.2 |
Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor,
1 run, OUT,
wristed to midwicket, then a horrible mix-up: Vettori turning down the second and then sacrificing himself - walking out of his crease to allow Taylor to get back in
|

DL Vettori run out 0 (1m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

16.3 |
Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor,
2 runs,
outside off, worked to deep backward point
|
16.4 |
Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor,
SIX,
short on off, heaved to the leg-side and some very welcome runs for New Zealand
|
16.5 |
Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor,
1 run,
deceptive delivery, dropping at the last minute just in front of off, the batsman dealing with it well to work to short midwicket

17.1 |
Umar Gul to Taylor,
no run,
pushed right up there, straight, no room to do anything but defend
|
17.2 |
Umar Gul to Taylor,
1 run,
right up there again, but well worked out to long off for a single
|
17.4 |
Umar Gul to Taylor,
no run,
good yorker, dug out to cover, and both batsmen set off, shuffle two or three yards, and then run back
|
17.5 |
Umar Gul to Taylor,
1 run,
full again - we've seen Brett Lee find success with his full deliveries this tournament - and the batsmen can only find a single to cover

Sohail Tanvir to Taylor,
no run,
a dot this time to a yorker
|
18.3 |
Sohail Tanvir to Taylor,
(no ball) 1 run,
would have been out but for a no-ball - caught trying to paddle over fine leg, but a top-edge - and here comes the free hit
|
18.4 |
Sohail Tanvir to Taylor,
1 run,
comes from wide of the crease, angling into the right hander who in turn drives out to long-on

19.1 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
FOUR,
full delivery dug out with a desperate, but well-struck, drive straight through long-on
|
19.2 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
SIX,
Taylor steps out now and plants his front foot wide to give himself room to drive long and hard over long-on
|
19.3 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
FOUR,
played off the legs through midwicket, a cleanish strike into the ground, and that races away, too
|
19.4 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
no run,
wideish down off and an appeal as Taylor cuts into the ground - the noise was likely to have been bat into ground
|
19.5 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
2 runs,
low full toss driven wide of long-off who races and races and finally cuts it off with a lunge - good fielding
|
19.6 |
Mohammad Asif to Taylor,
1 run,
low full toss pulled high in the air off the bottomn of the bat and that's a poor piece of keeping from Akmal who calls for it... and then fluffs it. That may be amusing, but let's hope for his sake that it doesn't come down to a run...
