It was a show of fast bowling, with B Lee kept a tight line at one end with variations from Mitchell Johnson and pace of S Tait at the other end breathing fire. Johnson took 4 for 33 in 9.1 overs while Tait took 3 wickets and Lee 1 wicket. The New Zealand lower middle order showed some resistance in the end with Nathan McCullum scoring a half century and Captain Vettori scoring 44 to take them to a below par score of 206 runs
