Full commentary
What a strange game this was. A good toss to win, there was some movement and bounce but it was not a 112 pitch. Then, the target was revised by D/L method and New Zealand made heavy weather of what should have been a simple chase. Fulton guided the hosts home with an unbeaten 42 and as a result, New Zealand lead the five-match series 2-1. The next game is on the 6th at Auckland. Join us then. This is Sriram Veera, signing off.
