18.6
McClenaghan to Faulkner, 1 run, a front-footed slapping flog past the bowler
 

Game, set, match? 20 from 7

 
18.5
McClenaghan to Agar, OUT, catch - great catch! Agar understandably goes for a pull on the front foot, attempting to heave it over midwicket for six, but picks out Taylor who - running about 15 or so yards - takes a neat, low catch

AC Agar c Taylor b McClenaghan 9 (15m 8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 112.50
18.4
McClenaghan to Faulkner, 1 run, clattered out to the off side for a single
 

21 from 9

 
18.3
McClenaghan to Faulkner, no run, well, ha, a fairly desperate heave over midwicket attempted. He misses
 

That gets Faulkner on strike

 
18.2
McClenaghan to Agar, 1 leg bye, slower ball, off his pads for a single
 

Marsh did well, but here's the man we've been waiting for. Faulkner.

 
18.1
McClenaghan to Marsh, OUT, outside off but a slower ball, and Marsh has misread it, skying a pull straight down Milne's throat at long-on - and that's a huge, huge wicket!

MR Marsh c Milne b McClenaghan 24 (30m 23b 0x4 2x6) SR: 104.34
 

Around the wicket

William: "Is "pull cum flick" a technical term?" Mostly, yes. Right then. 22 from the last two overs! It's anyone's game. But mostly New Zealand's. Isn't it?
