Wicket!! Phillips gone. This should have been sent into the stands on any day, but today there was no timing behind this shot on the high full-toss and as a result, he was caught in the deep by Rashid Khan off the bowling of Naveen-Ul Haq. He is out for 71 off 80 balls. 

 

Wicket!! The hopes of reaching 280 have come down crushing here as after Phillips’ poor shot, Latham tries to scoop Naveen and gets played down. The Kiwis are now 6 down all of a sudden. 

 

Three runs and two wickets from this over.
