Another 3 run over in followup by Ish. RRR rises to 8.18

Third 3 run over on trott.

9 runs in last 3. Total 7 fielders including keeper in the inner circle. Attacking field by Kane

Sixer. No ball as well. Down the wicket and Imad breaks the shackles.

Sixer off free hit as well. Suddenly 13 runs in 2 balls.

Partnership of 68 from 88 balls.

Wonderful cut by Sarfraz for four. All along the ground and well placed.

Seems to have worked a lot on fitness. Looks like he has lost few kgs at least.

Swept for 4. What a shot, executed to perfection. Takes Sarfraz to 50 from 59 balls.

Bad ball, punished for 4 at long leg. 10 of the over.

Isha has conceded 34 in last 3 overs.

Well pulled for 4. That's the 103 runs partnership between Sadfraz and Imad from 111 balls.

Bowled by CDG next ball. Sarfraz gone. 189/7. RRR at 8.83. NZ well on top.

New Zealand win by 47 runs.

Ross Taylor signaled to umpire that Professor used illegal action on one delivery. He was just cleared to bowl again after a lengthy ban and had 3 bowling bans in his career so far. Don't understand why Sarfraz is upset if opponent batsman complaint about illegal action used by one of his bowlers. What next.

NZ opt to bat in ODI 2.

Seems no changes for both teams.

Faheem opening the bowling

Cleanly lofted by Munro over infield towards mid wicket for 4. 6 off the first over. George needs a innings to secure his place in ODI squad. Guptill will be back once recovered from calf injury.
