Scorecard:

Ross Taylor and Scott Styris have started a rebuilding job.

The experienced duo are looking more to keep rotating the strike than to go for big shots.

Taylor, who turns 27 today, has ensured himself a perfect birthday gift - a well-made half-century.

It is his 20th ODI half century.

After 35 overs, New Zealand has made 140 for four.
