Afridi is so pissed at his keeper. Throws the ball down in anger, Kane walks a few metres to pick it up.

Damnit Williamson don't get out!
Though still some good firepower to come. Kind of surprised that Ronchi wasn't sent in ahead of Elliott with instructions to go nuts for the rest of the Powerplay. Edit: hang on, there was only an over or so of the Powerplay to go. I thought the majority was left. Disregard.

We've now gone past our previous highest ever score against Pakistan, 7/311. The records just keep tumbling this season.

What was that? There was some obvious noise but absolutely nothing on the hot spot. Thought they'd give Ronchi the benefit of the doubt there.

Damnit I've lost my stream. Were any of you guys watching just now? Judging by Cricinfo's commentary, it sounds like Ronchi may have been hard done by in that review. Gutted he was given out first ball! But hopefully Taylor can keep his fireworks going long enough to get a century.

The commentators said it's really hot so not much is showing on hot spot.

Makes it on the last ball. 100th ODI century overall for NZ.
Pretty great stuff, pretty happy for him. |

Oh god I thought he wasn't going to get there for a minute! You can tell nerves got the better of him when he missed a couple of those full tosses.
What an innings. I'm stoked. Pakistan are fuuuuucked.

OK, a bit worried we've only taken one wicket so far. Pakistan so far are scoring at about the same rate we did. I have been concerned by our mild struggles to take plentiful early wickets - we do well in piling on the pressure and bringing about a collapse, but we've been playing teams that don't bat deep.

Good fightback by NZ after Pakistan got off to the perfect start.
How's Vettori bowling Ax? Only his sixth wicket at 70 since returning last year and first wicket in 2015 at 196... |

Vettori is one of those cases where statistics don't tell the full story. He consistently has the lowest economy of any bowler in the match, and it's the pressure he builds that brings wickets at the other end. Really miserly bowling. A couple of recent games have been classic examples of that - soon as he comes on, he totally shuts down one end, and after a few overs the batsmen start playing rash shots to lesser bowlers to restore the run rate and get out. Anderson and Elliott better buy Vettori the biggest fucking birthday presents because a number of their wickets really belong to him!

I am amazed by the form of both Smith and Williamson in recent times. Is there a more exciting aspect of modern cricket than seeing these two guys in their mid 20s dominating the world the way they are? Throw Angelo Matthews into the mix and test cricket has a bright future.
These two could start a world supremecy rivalry to match the late 90s/early 2000s rivalries of Tendulkar, Waugh, and Lara. |

Domestic - NSW were 5/66 and 6/153, are currently 9/506. Nevill (who is my pick for next keeper) is on the verge of a double ton and Steve O'Keefe was out for 99, one run short of a maiden FC ton. Matt Wade hit 152 of the Vics' first inns 260 and they had QLD 3/7 and 4/33. The Bulls ended up with 512 with Lynn getting 250. And over in Perth Klinger is 176 not out as the Alcohol. Think Again Warriors sit at 3/386 in reply to SA's 328.

I'm not feeling great about New Zealand's insipid performance against Zimbabwe in yesterday's game before rain cancelled play.
