New Zealand get a shield for winning the series. They don't look really kicked. The loss must be gutting for them. Jesse Ryder of all people gets to uncork the champagne. Those are the scenes we leave you with. Lovely day of cricket. Cheers for tuning in

Time to listen to the Taylors and the Man of the Match. Brendan Taylor is the Man of the Series. He says, "Awesome feeling. Nice to end the way we did. Nice to salvage a bit of pride. All credit to New Zealand. We will take a lot out of this. We have a little bit of momentum now. From start to finish the guys were positive in their approach. No nails left. The crowd always turns up, this one is for them, and everyone who has shown up in the past."

Malcolm Waller is the Man of the Match. "Feeling really good," says he. "Good to come out winning this game. Great. To take it right through the end was very good. Having Elto striking it s well was great. I was a bit nervous at times, but Elton took the pressure off with the big hits, and Razor in the end was great."

"I thought 320 was a par score. It was a pretty good wicket. The way Kane batted was fantastic, but Zimbabwe batted superbly," says Ross. "The story of this series has been, if you drop catches, you lose matches. I was a bit rusty and enjoyed some luck with the bat. Kane was outstanding. We could have bowled a bit straighter, but I am going to put my hand up. I dropped two easy catches, and if you do that you are going to lose matches."

Stumps are taken out, hands are shaken, hugs exchanged. This is a huge day for Zimbabwe cricket. Elton Chigumbura says before the ball he thought he would punch it down the ground, but the impulse took over. Just an example of how easy the game looks when played with fingers and a keyboard. "Sid, printed in triplet and the carbon paper joins the meal...Enjoy!!! this is a good day to die! :)" Although I don't like the first half of Luke's email, the latter half sums up just how much this means to Zimbabwe fans. Liam Brickhill must be dancing somewhere too. "Three consecutive Taylor centuries on the losing team? Maybe they should both score a ton next time." Brendan, that's what kept this from being a tie. Had Brendan reached his hundred I am sure we would have had a tie. Ironic that Ross Taylor himself dropped two-and-a-half catches in the end

Ncube walks out, gets a knock on the glove from Price. All he has to do is run like hell when Waller calls him, Anybody thinking of Lance Klusener? This is not Australia and South Africa, but their neighbours

Everybody is up now

Big Jake Jacob Oram to bowl the last over. Can he pull a rabbit out here? New Zealand's best bet would be to give him the single here, and then tie Pierce to this end

If he gets a single here, this is Zimbabwe's game. Or will he go for the hit to end it now?

Interesting now. Men come up for Price

"This is awesome I am ashamed by the fact that I am loving Woodcock's performance... Just for what it might imply." Ken is a confused Kiwi right now. Woodcock continues, though. Two hits away are Zimbabwe

Singles on offer now

The field comes up now. No easy singles

"I think its really irresponsible for Cricinfo not to have a hotline that Zimbabwe supporters can phone into, and talk them off the edge..." Dylan, next you will ask for shrinks and couches. And just imagine what all we will need for Pakistan fans. Aldridge comes back. He will bowl Nos 48 and 50

Waller has to take more control now. He has to be in his partners' ears and make sure they don't play stupid shots like the two previous batsmen have. All I know is bad shots with Ray Price will come over his dead body

Back round the wicket
