4.2 to BA King, thrown wide by Southee, and he has a flash at it, and sends this down third man's throat!. 58/3
4.5 to R Powell, Ferguson takes this at fine leg! Dug in short, and Powell gets into an awful tangle as he looks to hook this. Off the top edge, and Ferguson juggles the ball a bit, before latching on to this. 58/4

3.2 to ADS Fletcher, Ferguson makes the breakthrough! It's not a shot that Fletcher would be too proud of either, actually. Swipes across the line to a fast, seam-up delivery that just did a bit of inward movement off the seam. Fletcher was determined to get this over the leg side, and ends up missing it fair and square. 58/1
3.6 to SO Hetmyer, Ferguson has another one! Hetmyer, who was looking a bit edgy after those dot balls, looks to back away and swat this through the off side. The ball is on a good length, fast, and catches the outside edge as it goes through to Seifert. Ferguson punches the air in delight. 58/2
5.1 to N Pooran, Ferguson on fire, as he gets Pooran leg before. Pooran reviews immediately, and indicates this has hit his glove. It's a fast, full ball and Pooran is beaten by the sheer pace of it. Don't think this has gone anywhere near bat or glove. He looks to flick it away, and is beaten. It's just a question of where it pitched. Umpire's call on pitching, and hitting the wickets.. 59/5
13.3 to FA Allen, keeps the pace on - and he's knocked him over! A 146 kph short ball that keeps following Allen even as he clears the front leg. A half-hearted pull shot comes out and as a result, he feathers an edge through to the keeper. Once more, Ferguson's sheer pace and the fear factor in his short-pitched bowling fetches him a wicket. It's his best figures in T20Is. 143/6
13.5 to KMA Paul, what a ball, what a spell, he has five! He has pace. He surprises batsman. He makes them fear for their well being. And here, he hits the deck, gets extra bounce, makes Paul recoil from his shot - a simple dab to third man - which ends up a glove to the keeper. Spectacular, accurate, relentlessly FAAAAAAAAAST bowling. Only the second Black Cap to get a five-for, after his captain Tim Southee. 146/7

0.4 to MJ Guptill, Cottrell gets the big breakthrough, and pulls out the salute! Short, fast, and Guptill tries to cut this away towards third man, but it flies off the edge through to Pooran behind the stumps. 7/1

3.5 to TL Seifert, taken after some struggle by Powell! Seifert looks to make room, expecting a short ball, but Thomas goes full, and Seifert ends up skewing this in the air, to the left of Powell at mid-on. He holds on, juggles it, and eventually sticks with it. 34/2
5.3 to GD Phillips, fuller from Thomas, and Phllups has played this one on. Appeared to be expecting the short ball again, and that's what Thomas capitalizes on. Gets this fuller, just around off, and Phillips is in no real shape to get the cut going. Goes off the inside edge, and bounces on to the stumps. 62/3

12.2 to DP Conway, taken at short third man. Pollard may just have turned the game. He is just such a good leader. Took it on himself to deal with a match going away from his team for the second time today and has Conway dabbing a back of a length ball, that may have bounced a touch more, to Thomas. 140/5
