00:30They've put up a massive 369 for 5 off their 50 overs, featuring two one day 100s, including
00:38a really special one in the history of New Zealand cricket.
00:41Here are the highlights for the great coming.
00:42Was started by Brendan McCallum, who was aggressive as he always is, top of the order.
00:47The feature was he was staying in his crease and just reacting to what was bowled to him.
00:55Freedy come on, a couple of boundaries, and then he chopped one onto his leg stump, but
01:00Freedy had made the breakthrough.
01:03Sport out Kane Williamson, not surprising, he just looked fantastic from the first ball,
01:09working it all around the park.
01:14Martin Gup got the other end, survived it, a close chance to point, he's starting to
01:18find his rhythm.
01:23Delton boundaries, brought up his 50 against.
01:29Pakistan attack, they were starting to struggle, part time, bowlers were getting hit to all
01:34parts of the ground.
01:36Williamson brought up his 50, and then a rank full toss from Martin Guptill, he'll still
01:41be shaking his head, managed to hit it down, long off throat, threw away 100, Kane Williamson
01:48just continued to work the ball around, shots, this was the feature, over cover against the
01:55spin, hitting gaps, he brought up his 100, 80 deliveries, consmanese, joy to watch.
02:09Ross Taylor come out, found his timing, nicely then an opportunity.
02:16Shad of Freedy was not happy, along with Williamson, started to really create momentum, then Williamson
02:24shoveled one to short fine leg, dismissed four, 112, Ross Taylor gave a chance out to
02:31Midwickett, should have been taken, Oliver Elliot, aggressive in the early overs, heading
02:40into the death.
02:42Taylor finally got one out of the middle, sent it out of the ground, a little bit of
02:46luck with a thick outside edge, and he brought up his 100, his 50, Brian Elliott was aggressive,
02:57couldn't get underneath one far enough and was taken, this one, made him come him out,
03:05Luke Rockey out to join, Ross Taylor, Taylor started to be aggressive, basically wherever
03:10they bowled he could hit it for four, Luke Rockey first ball, had a swing, there was
03:15a noise, it got referred upstairs, Snickers showed, there was a wee noise, Nathan McCallum
03:24got going and then Ross Taylor, trying to bring up his yards, 100th, one day 100, last
03:34ball of the innings, he did it with a thick outside edge, it ran away, the joy of his
03:38teammates and Ross Taylor, he loves Napier, he loves McLean Park.
03:47And in the end, New Zealand will be more than happy with 369 in their 50 overs, an all-round
03:52brilliant batting performance after McCallum had won the toss and chosen to bat, 116 off
03:58the last 10 overs and Taylor scoring 73 of those, and it was 50 overs of toil for Pakistan,
04:06Bilawal Bhatti probably receiving the most punishment, 93 off his 10, Muhammad Irfan

04:18require a massive 370 at just under 7.5 runs per over.
