Tim Southee 5-32(17.4 ov)
56.4
Southee to Gabriel, out Bowled!! That's the end of that. Was always on the cards with the way Gabriel was shaping up. This is a lovely nut from Southee too, quite full, cramps Gabriel who was backing away for the big shot but misses it altogether. Deflects this off the pads onto the stumps. Fifer for Southee to cap off a fine bowling performance. Gabriel b Southee 2(6)
56.3
Southee to Gabriel, no run, Gabriel isn't going to die wondering, that's for sure. Backs away early and tries to smack this out of the ground. Misses it totally
56.2
Southee to Gabriel, 2 runs, pitched up again and Gabriel goes for an ungainly slog. Gets it off the inside half but comfortably over the vacant mid-on region
56.1
Southee to Gabriel, no run, fuller and angling into Gabriel who misses the flick to be rapped on the pads. Sliding down leg
54.6
Southee to Gabriel, no run, almost!! Almost sneaks through Gabriel with this slow yorker that's a low full toss in the end. Gabriel gets a faint inside edge onto the pad
54.5
Southee to Gabriel, no run, excitement from the Kiwis but I reckon this has missed everything. Southee went really full but the line is a tad too straight. Gabriel is late to get his bat down in time and this goes off the pads down to Watling. NZ probably thought there was some bat there but not to be. A slightly better line could have got Gabriel LBW
54.4
Southee to Joshua Da Silva, out Caught by Watling!! A rather unfortunate dismissal for Silva. Wanted to leave this Southee outswinger but as it turns out, can't quite get the bat out of the way. Brushes the back of the bat en route to Watling and NZ knew it straightaway. So did Silva and the ump. Down to the last wicket then. Joshua Da Silva c Watling b Southee 3(25)
54.3
Southee to Chemar, 1 run, uppishly through the vacant backward square leg region and they are content with a single even as fine leg has some work to do. Holder tucked this shortish delivery
54.2
Southee to Chemar, no run, sharp bumper from Southee and Holder plays this really well. Watches it closely and ducks under it

Southee to Joshua Da Silva, no run, big appeal for lbw, shake of the head from umpire Chris Brown. Height maybe in favour of the batsman? Will Latham review? Spotlight on him and no, they don't. HawkEye projecting that it would be going over the stumps. Length, skids on and decks back in to fool Silva. Rapped above the knee-roll and umpire Chris Brown was right in the end
47.2

47.1
Southee to Joshua Da Silva, no run, splaying it on leg-stump, Joshua Da Silva shows no nerves on his first ball in Test cricket, turns it to mid-wicket
45.6
Southee to Blackwood, out Caught by Latham!! Edged and taken. New Zealand have been very good with their catching unlike the West Indies. Southee has struck in his new spell and removes the well-set Blackwood. Bowls it fuller and it kicks up dangerously just outside off, Blackwood is already set for the forward block as he pushes hard and it kisses the outside edge to carry low to Latham's right.

Huge appeal and umpire Chris Gaffaney had his finger up in a flash, the review - though - was almost instant

This was fuller and around off, lured Bravo into the drive and it caught the inside half of the blade. Straight back towards Southee who takes a comfortable return catch in his followthrough. He was running away from the followthrough and reacted sharply to grab it. Southee is all smiles, so are his mates and why not. Everything is going according to plan for the Kiwis.
