Plunkett to Neesham, OUT, boundary, wicket. There's that Plunkett cross-seamer that doesn't quite come onto the bat as expected. Fullish on off stump, but it sits up a little off the pitch, and Neesham just doesn't time that attempted loft over mid-on. Comes off the bat with a weird clunk, and Root takes a straightforward catch at mid-on. Three wickets now for Plunkett. What a final he's having.

JDS Neesham c Root b Plunkett 19 (25b 3x4 0x6) SR: 76.00

Henry to Roy, OUT, this is trademark Henry! New Zealand finally have their man. Nice and full, angling in towards off stump, this is what Henry does with the new ball. He makes you play. But the ball straightens away late. Roy jags at the moving ball and nicks it off. Not too dissimilar to how Rohit was dismissed in the semi-final. Nice catch from Latham - bending forward to grab a low chance

JJ Roy c †Latham b Henry 17 (20b 3x4 0x6) SR: 85.00

Ferguson to Buttler, OUT, It's that man Lockie Ferguson who breaks the stand and the game open for New Zealand. Buttler holes out to Southee, the sub, at sweeper cover. Slower variation once again from Ferguson, 123ks, full and outside off. He asks Buttler to manufacture the pace for himself. Buttler just skews it in the air. Southee initially misjudged the flight of the ball. He moved to his left, then to his right, then sprinted in to grab a pressure catch

JC Buttler c sub (TG Southee) b Ferguson 59 (60b 6x4 0x6) SR: 98.33
