45.6
Holder to Todd Astle, 2 runs, very full and around middle, wrists it through the gap at mid-wicket, they come back for the second which means that Ross Taylor can hit the winning runs and possibly, get to a fifty as well. Scores level
45.5
Holder to Todd Astle, no run, oh, whoa, whoopsy! Astle was backing away a lot but this short ball kept following him with the angle. Swayed away in the nick of time and the momentum saw him fall to the ground
45.4
Holder to Todd Astle, FOUR, easy pickings! Low full toss on the pads, Astle gets across a bit and flicks it through backward square leg. Timed it very sweetly and fine leg had no chance to cut it off
45.3
Holder to Todd Astle, 2 runs, slower and shorter in length, Astle was premeditating by backing away and slashes it through backward point. Beaton is slow to come across from third man and the batsmen steal the second run

45.1
Holder to Ross Taylor, 1 run, short of a length outside off, Taylor swivels to pull it away to deep mid-wicket
43.6
Holder to Todd Astle, no run, tucks him up with another shorter delivery that rears off the deck. Astle hops across a touch to fend it onto the pitch

43.3
Holder to Todd Astle, no run, short of a length outside off, climbs onto Astle as he fends it to point
43.2
Holder to Henry Nicholls, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Thick edge and Hope pouches it with ease. Short of a length and Nicholls goes for the cut. It isn't that wide and there is a bit of extra bounce as well. Easiest of takes for the keeper and NZ lose their fifth. Just a few hits away now but the Windies will be hoping to make them work hard for the inevitable. Nicholls will be disappointed, this was a good opportunity to finish a game, that's how you learn as a lower middle order batsman but he hasn't managed to stay till the end. Henry Nicholls c Shai Hope b Holder 17(21) [4s-1]
43.1

31.5
Holder to Latham, no run, angles this good length ball across Latham from around off, blocked with an open bat face towards backward point
31.4
Holder to Williamson, out Bowled!! Chopped on! The dab to third man has been Williamson's favorite strike rotation shot but it's also got him out plenty of times. Either he nicks them or ends up dragging them on. This time it's the latter as Holder got this one to bounce a bit extra from a good length, the width also wasn't quite there but Williamson wanted to glide it down anyway. Ended up chopping it onto his sticks. Holder lets out a huge roar in delight. It's a big wicket alright but it's probably come too late in the piece. Williamson b Holder 38(45) [4s-5]
31.3
Holder to Williamson, no run, outside off stump line and on the shorter side, defended with a slight shuffle across
