25 off 18 now. Tense stuff at the Saxton at the moment
47.1 Perera to Ronchi, FOUR, 135 kph, big moment this. Hammers this fuller length ball pitched from round the wicket to get this high over mid off to find the cover boundary. Didn't quite time his jump there, but this was always going at a rate of knots
47.2 Perera to Ronchi, SIX, 135 kph, what a blow! Ronchi has turned this match on its head with two big hits. This time is fed a fuller one on middle which he gets nicely under and lifts high over long on for six
47.3 Perera to Ronchi, 2 runs, 131 kph, Perera looking for the blockhole as this one is turned into a low full toss which he heaves over cow corner, but doesn't quite get the placement right on it for it to hit the rope. These three balls have effectively made it NZ's game to lose now
47.4 Perera to Ronchi, no run, 104 kph, slower ball on off which is drilled hard at Mathews at mid off, who puts in a wonderful diving stop
47.5 Perera to Ronchi, SIX, 131 kph, sayonara! Ronchi waits, then gets under this Perera length delivery to strike this cleanly over long off this time for yet another six. Ronchi has taken over at the Saxton Oval!
47.6 Perera to Ronchi, SIX, 104 kph, no need for the extra balls. Ronchi has just leveled the scores with another mighty blow. Saw this slower ball early before waiting and then dropping the back knee to send yet another one high over long off. The crowd is over the moon, and New Zealand require just one to take a 2-1 series lead
Selvan: "Wow what an over from Ronchi!!"
damn.
