New Zealand clinch a clinical win. Mills has taken out the off stump with a very full delivery. West went for the cowcorner but no wood on leather. Clatter!

Porterfield: "The first five overs were crucial. They got away. They fielded really well. They didn't make it easy for us. Our preparation has been good and we will learn a lot from the Super Eights.
McCullum: Redmond played an unbelievable innings. To come in and play an innings like that was great. Hopefully Butler's injury is not serious. He will hopefully be ok.
Man of the match - Redmond "Sometimes, when you are taken off the couch and thrown into action, you have a good day. The boys are doing well."
That's it from us. Thanks for logging on. See you later.

another near yorker, squeezed to the on side of the pitch and Oram dives to stop
almost yorker length on the off stump line, dug out to cover

another really full delivery outside off stump, edged to left of third man
cuts away from the off stump, run down to third man
yorker from round the stumps, it lands outside off and West does really well to hang his bat out, open the bat-face and steer it through vacant slip region
flighted around off, chipped just short of deep cover

McCallan went for the reverse sweep, missed and was struck in front. It pitched on the leg stump line and skidded in.
McCullum leads by example on the field. It was swung low to right of midwicket and Brendon lunged out to take the sharp catch
Johnson goes for the reverse sweep but edges it high and Diamanti runs back from covers but fails to catch it. A better effort from him could have fetched a wicket. It wasn't all that far from him in the end
fuller, driven hard down to long-off
Johnston likes the midwicket region. He spotted the slower off cutter early and biffed it across to the midwicket boundary
swung to the cowcorner and Broom makes a sliding stop and relays the throw to Oram who throws it to the middle
pushed away off the front foot for a single
