Here is last over thriller ball by ball commentary(only the last over).

New Zealand need 15 runs from the last over

Parnell will bowl the last over

19.1 Parnell to Styris, 1 run, fuller length delivery on the middle and leg, Styris goes for a slog, inside edges it to short fine leg

19.2 Parnell to Oram, 2 runs, on the middle and leg, Oram closes the face of the bat and flicks it awau to deep mid wicket, well run!

19.3 Parnell to Oram, 2 runs, full toss on the middle and leg, Oram mistimes a hoick to deep mid wicket

19.4 Parnell to Oram, 2 runs, full toss on the off, Oram comes on the frontfoot and heaves it to long off, mistimed again, Kallis dives forward, the ball is under him but it pops out, catch dropped!!

19.5 Parnell to Oram, FOUR!!, fuller length delivery on the middle and leg, Oram looks for a big hoick, inside edges it to fine leg, it is all about misting for New Zealand here!

Parnell to Oram, out Oram Run Out!! 2 runs completed, low full toss on the middle and leg, Oram goes for the another hoick, another mistimed shot to long on, they come back for two, they go for the third but it is a runout. That is all over. Oram run out (Smith) 24(18) [4s-2]

Brendon McCullum: I think we bowled pretty well but we lost momentum in the middle. We never really accelerated and that caused some trouble. We have lots of important games coming up and we hope to do well.
