Rabada to bowl the 48th over. The first ball is in the slot, full and straight, as Phillips slams it straight back over the bowler's head for a six followed by a wide.

Phillips hits a full toss, hitting it down towards long-on and has enough time to rush back for the second.

Rabada gifts another freebie, a wide half-volley, which Phillips crashes through the covers for a four. He top edges the short ball on to his helmet as he gets a single.

Left-hander Bracewell misses the pull shot but the ball strikes his pads and goes past the wicketkeeper for four leg byes.

A single to Bracewell off the last ball makes it 19 runs from the 48th over.

New Zealand have turned things around in style, smashing 64 from the last four overs.

Phillips has provided the momentum in the last few overs, smashing 40 from 22 balls.
