walks way over to the off side, laps it up but can only give Cottrell another chance to salute.. He takes a simple catch at short fine leg

Cottrell to Anderson, OUT
superb catch! Sammy, the rubber man, is too good in the outfield.. Anderson drives it towards the long-on boundary, but Sammy covers a lot of ground to his right and dives to complete the catch.. he makes it look simple
Cottrell comes in..

Narine to Latham, no run
quicker and shorter on off, cut straight to short third man
Reuben Frizzell: "why no latham yet??" --- because he is coming in now
16.5
W
Narine to Watling, OUT
this could be a wicket! Anderson said NO the moment Watling set off with this dab to cover, Sammy doesn't waste time and fires an underarm flick.. Watling dives but it's to no avail as Ramdin takes off the bails.. He is well out here.. So Watling was impatient.. only to his detriment though
16.4
1
Narine to Anderson, 1 run
shorter one, comes too quickly, Anderson pulls it to wide long on, says no to the second the moment he sees Russell charging in
16.3
1
Narine to Watling, 1 run
gets a really short delivery but all Watling can do is pull it to deep midwicket, without any timing
Watling has been patient in the Tests.. can he be a bit impatient now?

Narine to Anderson, 1 run
shorter and quicker on off, the batsman nudges it to point for a single

W
Narine to Ronchi, OUT
fuller and Ronchi books a ticket to the pavilion! He looks for the big hit but doesn't get the timing, slicing it long off where Russell is present
Matt: "@Neil: You're surprised that Ronchi has been a passenger? Would you get in a car he was driving when you saw that mustache?"

So West Indies end it on a high.. They lost the Test series under the new leadership but find a way back in the T20s under their old leader. It was a slowish surface and New Zealand were always going to struggle against the bowlers who like to vary their pace.. Plus there were Narine and Badree who were hard to hit. Williamson was the leading run-scorer but he was done in by a sharp cutter from Pollard. From then on, only one result appeared possible. Still, NZ would be happy with the results they have achieved on this tour.. A series win in the Tests, a drawn result in the T20s.
kuldeep: "watching the match on TV, i get the feeling NZ are just tired of the long tour, and want to get back home soon"
this is a direct hit from point! Darren Bravo may have sealed the win as he takes down the stumps at the non-striker's end.. West Indies draw the series with an emphatic win here in Dominica
Boult inspects the field..
