New Zealand vs West Indies, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

MAKE THAT SEVEN!It's all over in Christchurch! How easy did Boult make that look? It is the heaviest defeat New Zealand have veer inflicted on Windies. Surprised?

First he ran through the top order, then returned to finish the tail in a spectacular bowling performance to give New Zealand the series. A massive 204-run win, and it was a depleted New Zealand side. Wow! Windies were blown away by Boult's sheer ability to generate swing. They were left without any semblance of an answer. That's that. An easy win then for the hosts. Join us for the dead rubber in a couple of days' time when the two sides take each other on on December 25 for the final ODI. Thanks for joining us today. Goodbye!

BOULT HAS FIVE! Third five-wicket for Trent Boult in ODIs. The short ball has Cottrell in trouble. Balloons up to the 'keeper who takes an easy catch. Two more to go. Windies 110/8.

The next over, Ferguson returned to bounce off Holder, who went after the short ball, only to top-edge to midwicket. Holder departs!

DOUBLE TROUBLE!Wickets in successive balls! Ferguson has gotten rid of Jason Mohammed and Rovman Powell. Jason hits back at the bowler who takes an easy caught and bowled chance. He then followed that up with a fast yorker. The offstump is uprooted! There's little the batsmen could have done about this. WI in all sorts of trouble.

Lockie Ferguson into the attack and he's cranking up the speedometer.

Shai Hope was playing really well before he had to depart.There was a change in angle and it does the trick. Hope wanted to smash it over midwicket, but ends up skying it to the wicketkeeper. Another one goes down.

OUT!Three overs, three wickets for Boult - are you surprised? After the early wicket of Hope, Lewis holed out straight to the man at long leg after taking on a short ball. Then Hetmyer edged to Worker in the slips as Windies lost their third in quick succession. Boult swing is too much for the visitors at the moment. They're unable to play him!

BOWLEEED HIIIM! Took Boult just six deliveries to strike! Kyle Hope, who came in as replacement for Gayle departs for 4 after an inswinger breaches his bat-pad gap. First blood for Boult with just 10 on the board.

Right, here we go. Winies openers are in the middle.

WINDIES NEED 326TO LEVEL SERIES:After the strong start and the position they were at at the halfway stage, New Zealand seemed like they would fall short by at least 40 runs at the end of their innings after being reduced to 186/5 at one stage. However, a late surge from Henry Nicholls along with Todd Astle, which saw 130 runs being added in quick time, saw the hosts finish on a high, setting Windies 326 to level the three-match series that they lead 1-0.

Astle fell one short of his fifty after being bowled by Cottrell, but Nicholls was key and remained unbeaten on 83 off just 62 balls. Can they do it? Join us after the innings break.

Astle falls one run short of his half-century.Cottrell with his third wicket for the day. Has been the pick of the bowlers for Windies. Breaches Astle's defence. Gone!

This has been such a good partnership for New Zealand after they seemed like they were losing their way in the middle!FIFTY for Nicholls - his third in ODIs. Has come at a great time too! Astle is keeping him good company as the pair have added 100 runs in quick time!

TWO REDS: Not out!Nicholls is given out off Cottrell for a leg before appeal. The batsman decides to review it. No bat, impact in line, pitching in line, but missing the stumps! Good review that!
