That's all we have from this game. It's going all downhill for the Asian side and it would require something spectacular from them if they are to win at least a game in this series. New Zealand now can test their bench strength since they have already got the hands on the trophy. Will we see Pakistan managing a win or will the plot remain the same in Hamilton? Join us on 16th January, 2018 at 1400 Local (0100 GMT) to catch all the action. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson is elated with the show. Feels the surface was a bit tricky but still wasn't that bad to bat on. Adds Trent Boult has been fabulous throughout the series. At the halfway break they had a talk that they have good amount of runs in the bank, it's all about bowling and exceuting the plans. Is happy that his batters spent time in the middle and stitched valuable partnerships. Hopes to carry on the good show and informs their focus is to win each and every game.
Pakistan skipper, Sarfraz Ahmed is really disappointed with the loss. Adds this is a tough loss for them to gulp. Admits his bowlers did a fine job but their batting flopped again. Hopes to sort out the issue with the new ball and not loss too many wickets in the first ten overs.
Man of the Match, Trent Boult is really delighted with his performance but feels it was a collective effort on their part to win the game. Feels it was quite windy out there and he let it go aggressively as he could. Adds they wanted to seal the series today and knew that 250 was always good to seal the fate.
Trent Boult was breathing fire with the way he made the new ball talk. He ran havoc at the top and then came back to pick up a 5-wicket haul. Tim Southee from the other end was very disciplined too while the rest just came and continued to chip away at the wickets to choke completely visitors. The fact that no. 11 is the highest scorer in the second innings should tell you how poor the batting was from the Asian side. If it wasn't for Amir and Raees' fun in the middle, their side would have faced even more embarrassing. Stay with us as we bring you the presentation...
A shambolic batting performance by Pakistan or deadly bowling display from the Kiwis? It's for you all to think about that. Yes, agreed that 258 was tough on this kind of a wicket but getting bundled out for a paltry 74 is not acceptable at all. Their batsmen never really came to the party and as a result they surrendered meekly to give New Zealand the series. The chase never took off as the visitors were reduced to 16/6 and it was all about saving the blushes from thereon.

Trent Boult To Rumman Raees OUT!
OUT! And fittingly the one who started the rampage, ends it too. Trent Boult picks up his fourth 5-fer to end the Pakistan innings. A perfect yorker at a good pace which is too good for the no. 11. Raees misses and hears the death rattle. NZ WIN BY 183 RUNS.

Fuller and on the pads, flicked neatly through backward square leg. Southee from fine leg does well to keep them down to two which means Raees will be on strike in the next over.

That's off the helmet! A bouncer on middle and off, it kicks off the surface to beat the attempted pull of Raees. He gets a blow on the helmet as the ball lobs in the air towards the off side. Looks fine though.

Trent Boult To Mohammad Amir OUT!
OUT! 4-fer for Trent Boult! He goes a touch wider of the crease and drops it on a length on middle. Seemed like Amir was expecting a bouncer and hence he stayed leg side of the ball. At the last moment he tries to defend it with a straight bat but gets an outside edge which disturbs the stumps.
