Kane Williamson was aggressive against Imad Wasim, who had kept New Zealand quiet in the early overs at Eden Park, from the outset. Having gone back to cut Wasim for four first ball, Williamson came out of his crease for the second, but the bowler had seen him advancing. Wasim fired a flat, quicker ball wide of Williamson, but the batsman was good enough to adjust. He simply stopped mid-pitch, leant over and slapped it through a tight off-side field for another boundary.
